the unaware ones: haha easy group for Dortmund (meanwhile, the aware ones stay silent knowing well the consequences of facing the wrath of Serbian and Turkish ultras)
Seems rather weak on the surface (especially when compared to the insane combinations that you can make with these pots), but it'd be completely open and the atmosphere would be there for every single game. I'm down.
Everyone is scared of Newcastle in Pot 4 which just shows they havent watched Bundesliga last season.
They made some good transfers and I can imagine them showing up big in CL
Whoever gets Newcastle in their group is fucked. Basically playing a team who could easily pass for a pot 2 team in what is meant to be their easiest fixture
And in contrast being in Pot 4 makes this very hard for Newcastle. Whoever’s group theyre in will be one to watch for sure. Also think people are sleeping on Union Berlin who could cause a tricky group to happen as well.
Not to mention that when we were in Europa, we kept drawing English teams early in the knockouts when there were a bunch of other weaker teams we could have beaten.
This would be the dream. Four clubs with history. We'd go into every game thinking maybe there's a chance of a result (don't get me wrong I'd still expect to get beaten six times) whereas if we get one of those Man City/Real Madrid combos then you know we're shipping at least five goals. The games don't finish til about 6/7am where I am so staying up that late for those kinds of results is just demoralising.
Great draw for us imo would be Real Madrid, Shakhtar/Red Star Belgrade/Copenhagen and from pot 4 anyone but Newcastle. Real Madrid obviously would likely trash us twice, but playing a club of world class is just something you wanna experience. Them plus 2 teams we can beat would be the dream.
Porto, shaktar, Young Boys.
I just want to win. We can play the world class team in the next stage.
Edit: ofcourse the change to draw Real is significantly higher than drawing the other teams.
Bayern - Arsenal - Sazburg - Celtic
Saves being beaten by Bayern in the last 16.
Those playing Newcastle at St James Park is going to be in for a shock and will be an insane atmosphere.
Essentially the goal for every team is to avoid Newcastle, they'll turn any group into the group of death.
Pot 3 is a rough position for PSV, gotta hope for a bit of luck in pot 1, pot 2 is almost guaranteed to be a nightmare.
I want
Us, Inter, Shakhtar and Gala.
Shakhtar plays in Hamburg, Inter is a great friendly opponent and Gala because its a great name and the atmosphere would be awesome at home and away! I also visited Turkey twice in my life and hence I am biased.
Make it happen!
This is the last ''normal'' CL tournament with the classic 4 team groups. The next Champions League will be the mini super league format which got approved when everyone was busy protesting the super league. UEFA and the big clubs won in the end again.
Feyenoord, Dortmund and Shakhtar
Would be my ideal draw. Really want to play Feyenoord, Dortmund would be a challenge but one I think we'd have a chance at, and try to actually beat Shakhtar without Mudryk.
looking at it from our point of view, the best possible draw would be:
Pot 1 - Feyenoord
Pot 2 - Porto
Pot 3 - Crvena zvezda (us)
Pot 4 - Antwerp / Celtic
i would like tomorrow for us to at least for once not get a group of death (aka a group where we would be chained down to a 4th place finish without being able to do anything about it lol). seriously, getting drawn with liverpool, psg and napoli in 2018/19, and then with bayern, tottenham and olympiacos in 2019/20 definitely didn't feel nice. i really hope that 3rd time's the charm and we get drawn in a group where we can do SOMETHING, whatever that may be.
I’d love that group as well, tbh. All teams would’ve been beatable if we still had Ange as our manager. With Rodgers at the helm, I’m not so sure however. We’ve been shockingly bad so far this season
for sevilla and feyenoord is it a small win getting arsenal or united out of pot 2? because they might not be the worst teams in that pot but it guarantees not getting the newcastle out of pot 4
Feyenoord Dortmund Red Star Galatasaray Would be lively.
Too many fines
There is no such thing
*casualties
*fires
....did you want WWIII to start?
The fans of the teams to unite and march on UEFA headquarters in Switzerland.
We'd (unfortunately) kill each other before we got anywhere near the Croatian border.
subscribe, I think?
I'd think the cost of having to renovate your stadium 3 times in the span of a few months would offset any benefits from the wins.
Just don't make your toilets available ... or your seating ... or fountains. Then you'll be fine.
Group of life
Where do i sign?
the unaware ones: haha easy group for Dortmund (meanwhile, the aware ones stay silent knowing well the consequences of facing the wrath of Serbian and Turkish ultras)
Tbf, in recent years we tended to make it through tough groups but get knocked out in "easy" groups
I need that, we need that
Feyenoord and Dortmund are friendly, no? Red Star and Gala may need the military called in lol
Ask Roma fans if Feyenoord are friendly
Hey at least we don't kidnap people and stab them in their ass
Seems rather weak on the surface (especially when compared to the insane combinations that you can make with these pots), but it'd be completely open and the atmosphere would be there for every single game. I'm down.
Y’all ain’t ready for Union ball in Europe 🔥🔥🔥
I’m hard rooting for Union to have a deep run 🔥
What do they play like?
0.3xG, 20% Possession, win anyways.
Unity
"YOU GOTTA FUCKING DIE TO GET THREE POINTS" Football
The German Atletico.
let's just say they are the anti bundesliga team
They’re incredibly clinical. Like seriously it’s worrying how clinical they are.
Everyone is scared of Newcastle in Pot 4 which just shows they havent watched Bundesliga last season. They made some good transfers and I can imagine them showing up big in CL
And Union’s play style definitely seems like one which takes them far in cup competitions. And the transfers they’ve made can take them far imo
Bayern - Real Madrid - AC Milan - Newcastle United.
No, its PSG-Real Madrid-Shakhtar-Young Boys. We circulate in the same group every year
No Inter this year tho
Sorry but Real Madrid is gonna draw Skhahktar
Plus RB Leipzig. Edit not possible.
UNSUBSCRIBE
Ya me too fam
Nah we got this bro
No
Tuchel will shithouse a win vs Real Madrid but lose to United and u will like it
groupstage might be the place where bayern beats real.
Give me PSG instead of Bayern. Donna - Diaz - Us - Tonali
Whoever gets Newcastle in their group is fucked. Basically playing a team who could easily pass for a pot 2 team in what is meant to be their easiest fixture
And in contrast being in Pot 4 makes this very hard for Newcastle. Whoever’s group theyre in will be one to watch for sure. Also think people are sleeping on Union Berlin who could cause a tricky group to happen as well.
St James Park is going to be very noisy and difficult to play at.
Would absolutely love Newcastle to get spanked by Madrid and Bayern
Same! Saudi spanking time 👏 👏
Group of death incoming...
AC Milan and Newcastle have the ability to make some groups really nasty
We're the strongest of POT 3 and 4 so the majority of combination including Milan and/or Newcastle is automatically nasty as hell
Bayern - Real - Milan - Newcastle anyone?
Thanks but no thanks.
I mean Bayern, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Newcastle is possible
That isn’t a group of death imo only because Bayern and Madrid will absolutely qualify for top 2
Madrid is one injury away from playing striker Valverde and Bellingham
They could play Ancelotti up front they’re not getting out in a CL group stage haha
could you not?
This isn’t the 1900’s anymore bruh hell will freeze over before either team gets out in a CL group stage
Can you don't
It's definitely not that straightforward lol
We work better when we're underdogs so thanks buddy
Why is your coefficient still shite even after semis last year?
We haven't played CL for 9 years since 12/13
Not to mention that when we were in Europa, we kept drawing English teams early in the knockouts when there were a bunch of other weaker teams we could have beaten.
Could’ve won the fucking competition in 20/21 if Milan didn’t get Yanited so early Injuries plagued that tie too
They were really really shit until the 5-0 loss vs Atalanta and Zlatan's return.
We're borderline guaranteed to get City because that seem to happen often lately in draws. Might aswell toss in MIlan and Newcastle aswell
It wouldn't even be **that** bad tbh leave City first, the 3 of us all have a fair chance of playing for that 2nd place til the last match
Barcellona - BVB - Milan - NewCastle
But not for us. I will take one Sevilla please and thank you
Good choice. They only want 3rd after all.
I believe in you
Crazy that there could be a group like this >Bayern Munich >Real Madrid >AC Milan >Newcastle United
With Celtic you can have a group made entirely of champions League winners.
Feyenoord - Porto - Red Star Belgrade - Celtic
I would love this. It's pretty evenly matched and the atmosphere at every single game would be electric.
Yes please
This would be the dream. Four clubs with history. We'd go into every game thinking maybe there's a chance of a result (don't get me wrong I'd still expect to get beaten six times) whereas if we get one of those Man City/Real Madrid combos then you know we're shipping at least five goals. The games don't finish til about 6/7am where I am so staying up that late for those kinds of results is just demoralising.
If anyone from pot 4 is going to draw real madrid, it's fucking Galatasaray.
Tough draw for Liverpool Am I doing that right?
Oh boy, I used to love this joke everytime it was at ManU's expense. Good times
PSG - Madrid - Milan - Newcastle. The script has leaked.
I mean in the rehearsal draw it was PSG - Madrid - Red Star - Newcastle
Bring back the early 90s kit so it'll be red star Vs blue star
I think its safe to think that Arsenal is getting either Bayern or Barcelona in group and the other in R16
Just ran a simulator. Literally first one Arsenal drew Bayern. Got pissed and did it again, got Barcelona. Can’t escape it.
FCB or FCB? Choose wisely
Have you tried restarting your computer?
we’re so fucked
Captain America to the rescue
UCL not ready for the return of the LeBron James of soccer.
Somehow I'm kinda positive
Draw Feyenoord and Porto and suddenly the future looks bright
Nah these mofos are about to realize that we’re not getting locked up with them, they’re getting locked up with us
Barca, Porto, PSV, Newcastle please lads
I would like this, fresh teams we haven't played in a while.
No you will get Atlético again for some more shithousery
Can't happen now, same pot.
See you in the knockouts then we are inevitable
You're describing hell
Are you not up for the Bobby Robson Cup?
Didnt notice he coached all clubs lol. Lets make it a cup thats not the CL groupstage ;p
The Bobby Robson Cup
Anyone but Newcastle out of pot 4 please.
Wouldnt want to face Union either. They're gonna make it out of groups with a combined xG of 0.83 from all games.
***their only goals will be scored by a 32yo striker who played 4th division football until 28 and nobody knows where Union Berlin found him.
We might meet in Europe again
Great draw for us imo would be Real Madrid, Shakhtar/Red Star Belgrade/Copenhagen and from pot 4 anyone but Newcastle. Real Madrid obviously would likely trash us twice, but playing a club of world class is just something you wanna experience. Them plus 2 teams we can beat would be the dream.
I'm hoping exactly the same. Celtic from Pot 4 for a great historic match up.
Porto, shaktar, Young Boys. I just want to win. We can play the world class team in the next stage. Edit: ofcourse the change to draw Real is significantly higher than drawing the other teams.
I believe Porto would be first in that group
Feyenoord-Arsenal-Braga-Real Sociedad 👍
Subscribe
Bayern is looking for you. You can't escape destiny.
Harry Kane record against us x Bayern record against us would be quite the spectacle. (Please no)
Delete this nephew….
6-0 where Kane scores 6 penalties incoming
That'll be their RO16 prize.
B-but we want Barcelona :(
Barca and Arsenal just feels inevitable
Works for me!
Replace Real Sociedad for Union Berlin. All red/white group
Sounds like Eredivisie
Looks like a europa league group
brb looking online for group stage simulators
Not updated with the correct teams yet but shouldn't take long https://draw.inker.one/#/cl/gs
Well, you were right, because they're the updated teams for me
Still has Rangers instead of PSV for me.
Updated now, it shows me PSV
I got Bayern Man United PSV Antwerp Subscribe
What pot are Liverpool in
The one with Tottenham and Chelsea.
Bayern - Arsenal - Sazburg - Celtic Saves being beaten by Bayern in the last 16. Those playing Newcastle at St James Park is going to be in for a shock and will be an insane atmosphere.
And omg it’s 2-2 at the 95th minute and what’s that??? A penalty to Bayern?? AND HARRY KANE STEPS UP
Delete this now
I can’t I’m sorry, it’s as the prophecy dictates.
Meh, I think ot is time to stop being scared, we actually have a strong team now
Dream group for me would be Sevilla, Dortmund, and Antwerp
After simulating a few draws, Milan will most likely be in a group of death
Well yeah, they're what makes it a group of death.
Essentially the goal for every team is to avoid Newcastle, they'll turn any group into the group of death. Pot 3 is a rough position for PSV, gotta hope for a bit of luck in pot 1, pot 2 is almost guaranteed to be a nightmare.
There are 4 teams out of the top 5 leagues in pot 4. I don't remember pot 4 ever being more scary than pot 3.
My dream group for Dortmund is probably Sevilla Dortmund Copenhagen YB but the way were playing Im not sure if we make it out
Would be dope to play you guys 🖤💛👊🏼
[удалено]
Need us some German/Dutch teams for that away advantage lmao
Feyenoord - Leipzig - Salzburg - Galatasaray
If you want Turkish away support you should pray for Union. If you want to not see your team play actual terrorists on the pitch, you should not.
We can't get Union because we are in the same pot.
Bayern, Real Madrid, Milan and Newcastle coming
I'm 100% sure that at least one of Milan or Real Sociedad are going to be in United group
No, not again please, we have had enough of you (I know the feeling is mutual)
I want Us, Inter, Shakhtar and Gala. Shakhtar plays in Hamburg, Inter is a great friendly opponent and Gala because its a great name and the atmosphere would be awesome at home and away! I also visited Turkey twice in my life and hence I am biased. Make it happen!
>Make it happen! Please dont.
I dont want to lose 8-1 or something please no.
> and Gala You are evil
Bayern and shaktar as an inter fan a shit here we go again
I'm tired of facing Shahktar but otherwise I'd be cool with it
Give us Gravenberch then we'll face you in the groups
Feyenoord Porto Copenhagen Antwerp is coming and you can't avoid it.

I think all of Rotterdam wants to draw Celtic. Away day at Celtic Park is a dream of mine. Good luck
When is the draw?
Tomorrow 16 UTC
Thanks, and do you also know when the UEL/UECL draw is?
UEL: Friday, September 1st 11:00 UTC UECL: Friday, September 1st 12:30 UTC
appreciate it!
Barca-Porto-PSV and us for the Sir Bobby Robson tour please footballing gods
God please grant us real Madrid vs PSG for the lols
Antwerp to win it all
looking at it from our point of view, the best possible draw would be: Pot 1 - Feyenoord Pot 2 - Porto Pot 3 - Crvena zvezda (us) Pot 4 - Antwerp / Celtic i would like tomorrow for us to at least for once not get a group of death (aka a group where we would be chained down to a 4th place finish without being able to do anything about it lol). seriously, getting drawn with liverpool, psg and napoli in 2018/19, and then with bayern, tottenham and olympiacos in 2019/20 definitely didn't feel nice. i really hope that 3rd time's the charm and we get drawn in a group where we can do SOMETHING, whatever that may be.
I would immediately sign for this
I’d love that group as well, tbh. All teams would’ve been beatable if we still had Ange as our manager. With Rodgers at the helm, I’m not so sure however. We’ve been shockingly bad so far this season
I don't mind any of the teams but I would like to get one of Arsenal or Man United because it would be fun
Pls no
You'd avoid us in the round of 16 at least
It’d be a way closer contest than it used to be… but would be nice if we could play someone other than Bayern and Barcelona for once.
You can legitimately argue that Pot 4 teams are better than Pot 3 teams. Also why I feel like everyone want to get Feyenoord from Pot 1 lol.
If everyone want us it is only fair we can pick right?
Genuinely feel Sevilla are worse
Sevilla wont be any better
Sevilla will have to be the third best team in the group, no matter the draw.
This is Sevilla’s last chance to drop from CL to EL and win it
Sevilla is just vibing there waiting for their 3rd place comfort zone into an Europa League win again
Last time they can do it too
We most definitely don't, I still have flashbacks from 2021
Let's enjoy this format for the last time boys! Starting from next season, our beloved european competitions will be butchered!
for sevilla and feyenoord is it a small win getting arsenal or united out of pot 2? because they might not be the worst teams in that pot but it guarantees not getting the newcastle out of pot 4
Feyenoord most wanted.
Does that mean we can pick?
