Chelsea are loving life at the moment. Thoughts on draw? What English club do you think will struggle in the group stages?

[FlyingJesus]

Could be some interesting results out of this, where are Man U though lololololol

[David]

looking good for both real and chelsea :Cool:
hope roma and bayern combine to knock out city, same for dortmund and galatasaray vs arsenal

[HabboxComps]

Group E looks like it's probably going to be the most interesting. Athletico vs Juventus and Barcelona vs PSG will be other highlights.

[j0rd]

Arsenal will struggle in my opinion

[Prosiary]

James/Ronaldo/Bale vs Glen Johnson and Flanagan. Hahahah

[FlyingJesus]

Arsenal will struggle in my opinion

That's a universal truth

[Yupt]

Fun fact: Real Madrid have never beaten Liverpool

[FlyingJesus]

DOUBLE FUN FACT: Dundee United are the only team in the world with a 100% win record against Barcelona

PSG (FRA) v Chelsea (ENG)
Man. City (ENG) v Barcelona (ESP)
Leverkusen (GER) v Atlético (ESP)
Juventus (ITA) v Dortmund (GER)
Schalke (GER) v Real Madrid (ESP)
Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) v Bayern (GER)
Arsenal (ENG) v Monaco (FRA)
Basel (SUI) v Porto (POR)

[j0rd]

PSG, Jose will be happy with that

Worst possible draw for chelsea but hey, we beat them last year and we're stronger now whereas they're probably a bit weaker. We should go through.

Bad draw for city bit a great draw for Arsenal. I don't really get when people hope for the other teams from their country to get hard draws; I think in Europe you should want your country to do as well as possible. I'm sure there was talk a few years ago that if England (bar chelsea (A)) keep doing terribly in the CL then we could lose our 4th spot!

So through to the quarters imo:

PSG (FRA) v Chelsea (ENG)
Man. City (ENG) v Barcelona (ESP)
Leverkusen (GER) v Atlético (ESP)
Juventus (ITA) v Dortmund (GER)
Schalke (GER) v Real Madrid (ESP)
Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) v Bayern (GER)
Arsenal (ENG) v Monaco (FRA)
Basel (SUI) v Porto (POR)

[j0rd]

Jose wanted PSG, reckons it will motivate the players by playing a good team early on
Shouldn't be a problem for us anyway

if arsenal lost their spot (lol) which other league would get it? if any?

[Matthew]

I can't remember. I just know for sure that a few years ago there was talk of the premier league possibly losing its 4th spot. Not saying it was close to happening but hey ho!

[FlyingJesus]

Leverkusen and Dortmund could cause upsets I reckon but otherwise your predictions look the most likely, Basel will forget how to play knockout games as usual

Yeah I agree! Doubt either will though. Leverkusen are poor and Dortmund are in really bad form at the moment. I suppose its a few months away yet, Reus should be back then I think so you never know.

looks like arsenal will be the only english team in the last 8. we'll win is easily.
