I just want to see a group of death with Real and PSG.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I just want to see a group of death with Real and PSG.

Yup, lump them in with one of Napoli/Liverpool and I'll be happy.

 

[Evilo]

Hopefully :
Real
City
Napoli
Leipzig

And
Juventus
Barca
Spurs
Moscow

And
Monaco
Sevilla
Olympiakos
Maribor

And
Moscow
PSG
Basel
Qarabag

 

[Evilo]

And
Bayern
Atletico
Liverpool
Sporting

 

[Live in the Now]

I would really like Liverpool to play Bayern, Barcelona, and Feyenoord.

Hopefully on the other day of play we can get RM, Manchester United, Napoli, and Leipzig.

 

[Deficient Mode]

I just want to see a group of death with Real and PSG.

Surely the group of death will be whichever one has RB Leipzig as the fourth team. Unless they get drawn in the same group as Spartak and one of the weaker pot 3 teams.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Hoping for Chelsea, BVB, Basel, and Celtic.

BVB are a strong team, we've historically had really fun ties against Basel, and Brendan Rodgers.

 

[Live in the Now]

There could be a group with Shakhtar, Porto, Anderlecht, and Qarabag. Might be for the best that we see one of those kinds of groups so the others can be loaded.

Kinda like the Leicester group last year.

 

[cgf]

I want Leipzig, Roma, Barca & Benfica/Monaco.

Real
City
Napoli
Leipzig

This would be fun to.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Hopefully :


And
Monaco
Sevilla
Olympiakos
Maribor

And
Moscow
PSG
Basel
Qarabag

... And they say Evilo is a fan of PSG.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Madrid, PSG, just so that Madrid beat the crap out of them.

I don't care about us, have no expectations for this ****** year

 

[Havre]

RM, BM or Juventus with Leipzig would end up being a ridiculous group (as many if not most teams in 2 and 3 are either good or at least decent).

I don't care too much about who Spurs draw. Last year it ended up with mostly boring matches. Monaco obviously a good team, that played some great stuff later on in the tournament, but they were quite boring and slow matches against Spurs. CSKA were crap and for the neutrals the games against Leverkusen were also rather dull.

One big team like BM, PSG or something would be nice. Hopefully not two though. And hopefully not Leipzig.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Honestly the pot 2 teams are a bit stronger than the pot 1 teams overall. It's probably an advantage not to win your league the previous year weirdly enough.

For Dortmund, yeah, Chelsea are the only appealing first pot draw. They played Monaco and Real last year, and I really don't want to play Juve again, even though it seems like they're more vulnerable in the group stage. Anyone but Real tbh tho. So sick of playing them.

Any draw except Liverpool from pot 3. Though preferably not one of Napoli or Roma if they also get one of the tougher pot 1 clubs.

Celtic matches would be interesting and they've played some nice football lately. I agree with Ceremony's comment re:love-ins between fans though.

Bayern obviously can't draw Leipzig.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Celtic will most likely get one of the English clubs which will be great for both sets of fans. Hopefully one of the Manchester ones as they have the best chance of getting points off of them.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

I'd like Barca in with Monaco and/or Napoli. Also, City with Real, and Paris with Bayern

 

[sabremike]

As a United supporter I would just prefer to avoid RM, Bayern and Juventus in pot 1 and Leipzig in pot 4. The rest of the teams we could draw are fine by me.

 

[Havre]

True. RM or Juventus. Add PSG. Blah.

 

[ecemleafs]

Anyone but Barcelona. ****ing sick of them. Ideally monoco, Porto, anderlecht but am english team would be nice too.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Did a few simulations in a row.

Just got this one

Monaco
United
Roma
Celtic

Not the easiest for United but entertaining as hell.

Going to do a few more for fun.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Anyone but Barca. I've personally seen them play 4 times at Celtic Park now. Someone different would be nice.

Got this in the simulator

Bayern
Man Utd
Roma
Celtic

 

[Live in the Now]

I did the whole simulator once I saw that one existed and got these.

Group A
AS Monaco
Sevilla
Liverpool
Feyenoord

Group B
Spartak Moscow
FC Barcelona
FC Basel
Qarabag Agdam

Group C
Shakhtar Donetsk

[YNWA14]

I would be okay with all of those groups and would be happy to top group A.

As long as we don't get PSG or RM I'll be happy. Not that I would mind overly much playing them.
