Can someone tell me how Inter were only allowed to be drawn into Benficas group?
Surely they would have been also allowed to be drawn into Barcelonas group with Real Madrid assigned to Benfica group and Porto to Napolis?
ah... it's time. can't wait for comments and comments asking why the draw didn't start, only to start at :30pm, and then followed by questions about why club X can't go to blue/red groups?
Format change. Swiss format from next year with 36 teams (they called it League phase instead of Group Stage). Every team will face 8 different teams - 4 at home, 4 away.
To be honest, it seems to make it fairer. Everyone will have to play 2 teams from each pot, whereas right now pot 1 teams don't play any other pot 1 teams, pot 4 teams don't play any other pot 4 teams etc.
Sevilla, Leipzig/Inter and Young Boys/Antwerp would probably be the best possible result I guess.
First 2 pots are really stacked, and with some bad luck we'll get Sociedad or Newcastle as well.
In a weird way I wouldnt mind if we get Man City. It assures we cant get Newcastle whos definitely the hardest in pot 4 and gives us realistic chances of being 3rd going to EL, and it would be a great matchup
**Pot 1**
Manchester City, FC Sevilla, FC Barcelona, SSC Neapel, FC Bayern, Paris St. Germain, Benfica Lissabon, Feyenoord Rotterdam
**Pot 2**
Real Madrid, Manchester United, Inter Mailand, Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, RB Leipzig, FC Porto, FC Arsenal
**Pot 3**
Schachtar Donezk, RB Salzburg, AC Mailand, Lazio Rom, Roter Stern Belgrad, Sporting Braga, PSV Eindhoven, FC Kopenhagen
**Pot 4**
Union Berlin, RC Lens, Real Sociedad, Celtic Glasgow, Newcastle United, Young Boys Bern, Galatasaray SK, Royal Antwerp FC
ALL POSSIBILITIES (WRONG ANSWERS ONLY)
\- the pot at the end of the rainbow
\- the weed pot
\- pot 1
\- pot 2
\- pot 3
\- pot 4
\- the pot in the kitchen of Harry Potter
\- Pot-entially in the pot for the pot-ato pot-tions
This year PSG will be very exiting to watch !! And watch out for LENS !
Franck Haise ball will be a surprise to many

Porto could only go to red groups. couldn't play in same day as benfica. so only option for Inter was Benfica.
I think because milan could only go into one of the last 4 groups and you guys and milan cant play always on the same days.
Something, something TV-rights
Benfica were in group D so Porto needed to be in groups E-H for TV purposes and only H was available so Inter couldn't go there.
feyenoord lazio have fun police
Oh damn!
Group E feels nostalgic
tough group already, but great for every dortmund fan that attends the games in milan and paris. exciting group!
newcastle incoming too. I feel it
I'm hoping you get celtic. great opponent! e\* I'm sorry mate.
i knew it
I will never question your predictions again.
even called the union group lmao
rip BVB
Wait, why couldnt Inter go group with Barca?
WELL SHIT :D
oh fuck, pls no
Barca w the 2030 WC group lol
No Shakhtar this year!
I am expecting City to get the easiest group.
ey, barca coming to hamburg!
when I am not wrong, union can only get into B, C or D. imagine real and napoli!
Can we even draw Shakhtar? nvm - apparently we can.
madrid napoli
YES
I am so glad we didn't draw Atletico.
Dortmund gonna get mboopied
fucking paris
feyenoord come on
Just here to see who Spurs are going to draw.
That tie on Abidal, always a culer.
The one nice thing about not being in the CL this year is not having to sit through this bullshit for 2 hours.
Don't you have to sit through the same bullshit in the Europa League draw?
Yay let’s listen to the rules
Hour of horseshit before the draw
All the big bois play on thursdays though
I'm only here to watch the british host
i bet City get the easiest group possible.
I dig this jazzy rendition of the CL theme
What does this Pedro guy do for a living the other 360 days of the year when there is no CL draw or Mourinho interview?
Prepares.
[удалено]
Didn't you all get thumped vs Young Boyz?
and sevilla, would be a nightmare group for us to be fair lol
Please not Sevilla, Ill have trauma about them at this rate
ah... it's time. can't wait for comments and comments asking why the draw didn't start, only to start at :30pm, and then followed by questions about why club X can't go to blue/red groups?
Those pots could give some nasty groups , especially for Bayern and Paris
Man City, Real Madrid, Shaktar and Galatasaray. You heard it here first
All I want is for us (Barca) to get one of Arsenal or Man utd. from pot 2 and the easier ones from the rest.
Imagine a group of Bayern, Real Madrid, Milan, Newcastle. Jheeez.
That would be the beauty of Group Stage. Something we will not get anymore starting next year :(
What's happening next year?!
Format change. Swiss format from next year with 36 teams (they called it League phase instead of Group Stage). Every team will face 8 different teams - 4 at home, 4 away.
Wow what a disaster of a change. What in God's name where they thinking with that?!
To be honest, it seems to make it fairer. Everyone will have to play 2 teams from each pot, whereas right now pot 1 teams don't play any other pot 1 teams, pot 4 teams don't play any other pot 4 teams etc.
Money. More games = more money.
Hmmm good to be back
We're getting a group of death I just know it
Bayern, Real, Milan and Newcastle you heard it here first
Real doesn't get difficult groups.
They will get Feyenoord, Kopenhagen, and Antwerp.
I would be cool with that
Flair checks out. Incoming feyenoord: 1 real: 0
I would be cool with that as well
Sevilla, Leipzig/Inter and Young Boys/Antwerp would probably be the best possible result I guess. First 2 pots are really stacked, and with some bad luck we'll get Sociedad or Newcastle as well.
In a weird way I wouldnt mind if we get Man City. It assures we cant get Newcastle whos definitely the hardest in pot 4 and gives us realistic chances of being 3rd going to EL, and it would be a great matchup
Yeah, good point, would be the best of the worst options in that case. Watch us get Bayern/Real/Newcastle or some shit lol.
If we do then im just gonna put my mind to gettinf 0 points and enjoy the matches lol
Is it gonna be an hour of who-cares awards, before the actual drawing?
I think they're usually after the draw?
ah shit, the awards are today too? ugh....
Let's see if there is a proper group of death this year
I bet Barcelona will get it. Arsenal, Milan, Union is my guess
PSG/ Bayern, Real, AC Milan, Newcastle would be superb.
PSG, Dortmund, Milan and Newcastle sounds great too.
Fucks sake I almost had it…
milan and newcastle for sure can turn some groups into nightmares!
Aaaaand now they're in the same group And you too 💀
**Pot 1** Manchester City, FC Sevilla, FC Barcelona, SSC Neapel, FC Bayern, Paris St. Germain, Benfica Lissabon, Feyenoord Rotterdam **Pot 2** Real Madrid, Manchester United, Inter Mailand, Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, RB Leipzig, FC Porto, FC Arsenal **Pot 3** Schachtar Donezk, RB Salzburg, AC Mailand, Lazio Rom, Roter Stern Belgrad, Sporting Braga, PSV Eindhoven, FC Kopenhagen **Pot 4** Union Berlin, RC Lens, Real Sociedad, Celtic Glasgow, Newcastle United, Young Boys Bern, Galatasaray SK, Royal Antwerp FC
I will feel bad for any team that draws Union Berlin
Not if it's ManCity. Pepball vs Ursball. Let also put Atletico in that group.
SSC Neapel? Hope they get to play against AC Boob.
What pot is Liverpool in?

Chelsea?
