UEFA Champions League


Shocker

Recommended Posts

Interesting draws:

Chelsea naturally gets Athletico Madrid.  Crazy.  Tough group that includes Roma as well.

Man United have a very favorable draw IMO.

Real Madrid has a very tough draw.  Group includes Tottenham and Dortmund.

Bayern and PSG drawn together as well.

Juventus and Barca also in the same group.

i'm sooooooooo shocked that United got the easiest group. who could have seen that coming, nobody in the whole world.

Being picky but I think Group G is actually the easier group.  Initially I thought Liverpool had a good chance but I'm not completely sold they can overtake Spartak and Sevilla.  I think they probably fight Sevilla for the top spot.  That will be interesting.  Group F won't be a cake walk for Man City either...but I think they'll top it in the end.

Almost feel bad for Spurs getting the group of death, Group B should be entertaining with Bayern and PSG, City have a manageable group, would say either group A or group E are the easiest.

at least they have all those new signings to help them. lmao.

It's collusion I tell ya!!!

FIFA and UEFA are both corrupted...  I think it's been proven multiple times.

That said, I have no clue if there is collusion or not but it's odd MU always gets weak teams in group stage.

Group H will be fun to watch for sure.  My dream Group of Death was Real/PSG/Tottenham/Leipzig but Real/Dortmund/Tottenham will be pretty damn good

Group E is the weakest to me, followed by Group A

Groups B and D are the easiest to pick you R16 teams, the question will be which of Bayer/PSG and Juve/Barca get the in the Group Winners pot.  Group C probably is next in this category with Chelsea/Atletico although perhaps Roma can keep it interesting, I do not see that possibility in B/D

If I were to pick the team most likely to top their group it would be City in Group F

I find Group G very interesting.  You have two teams outside the Big Four leagues that have experience past the group stage while the group's lone Big Four team (Leipzig) is brand new to the competition.

I think we can all agree that APOEL got screwed

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
