[Power Man]

BVB to beat Madrid again

as usual

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Not like they were expected to advance, but rough draw for Celtic.

Anyone know when they release the actual schedule? Will be in UK for match day five and hoping to maybe pull a doubleheader.

Should be later this evening. Usually around 7pm BST.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

People should not underrate Lyon this year. Their young team is one year older, Fekir's back, their new coach has proved to be extremely competitive.
The only question mark is the central D. Nkoulou is highly talented but getting used to his new team. Mbiwa is more of a weakness, but they have Mammana behind him.

Just don't see Lyon beating Juventus and Sevilla.

Just don't see Lyon beating Juventus and Sevilla.

They can split with Sevilla. Sevilla maybe unbeatable in the EL, but in the CL they are mortal. BMG really thrashed them in the second match last year, as the 4-2 scoreline flattered the beaten spaniards. I think BMG is stronger than Lyon, but Lyon still have a really talented squad that can get all three points at home.

If they keep all their players, OL could be tough to beat

Sevilla is very deep this year, doubt BMG would trash them again.

All three of these teams are stronger than they were when last season began.

 

[Evilo]

Ghezzal will take OL to the promised land

In CFA?

Just don't see Lyon beating Juventus and Sevilla.

I think they can steal some points from Juventus since they're usually not great in the GS.
As for Sevilla, they don't have more talent, I believe they have less in fact.
However, Sevilla is much more used to european battles and OL's team is extremely young.
Sevilla is probably favourite, but Lyon has a very decent chance of going through.

 

[Ceremony]

Madrid Dortmund and Spurs for Celtic please. A minimum of four goals against per game against a defence with a 35 year old in it and an increasingly hopeless goalie would be quite the chortle inducer.

RIP Celtic

RIP Celtic

FFS. Again.

Celtic

lol Brendan Rodgers

Well Ceremony got even more than he wanted for Celtic

RIP Celtic

Celtic are going to be ripped a new one

Rodgers with his philosophy

****ing joke that we've drawn barca again. Must be 4 times in our last 4 cl appearances we've drawn barcelona

Serves you right for the perpetual desperate scramble for relevance by pretending things like this exist

 

[YNWA14]

When Rodgers leads Celtic past Barcelona, City and Mochengladbach you will all have to recognize his genius.

 

[Power Man]

In CFA?

That's what YOU think

Apprently Aulas just caved lol

 

[cgf]

I'm excited to see the two greats of this era go head to head when Messi & Raffael finally step onto the same pitch.

 

[theaub]

Should be later this evening. Usually around 7pm BST.

Thx

Looks like my options for the week are Arsenal-PSG or Celtic-Barca. My poor, poor bank account.

 

[Live in the Now]

The latter groups are much more entertaining so it sucks they play on the same day. Will be difficult to pick which of those games to watch.

 

[Savi]

Not a lot of love for Brugge in here

I'm not sure Leicester will go through tbh....


I think Brugges will finish ahead of them

Thank you

Although I think they could just as easily finish 4th It sucks we will probably have to play the first few games without our top two players who both got injured last week

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

but sevilla ... Europa?

Four best South American forwards will all be on the pitch.

??? Lars Stindl isn't South American...

I didn't say the four best forwards on the pitch will all be South American.

Ah, that explains it.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

The Tottenham group is wide open

No real group of death...
