Might be better to finish 2nd in your Champions League group

Should have finished first, i hope we get PSG then. But Uefa will probably put us against Shaktar, Bayern or Man U

PSG is not going to win CL

According to PSG fan sites, the problem has been that Veratti and Thiago Motta have both been out due to either injury or suspension for most of the last 5_6 weeks. So PSG has actually been playing Maxwell the fullback in the midfield. The trio has been Maxwell, Matuidi and Chantome. Horrible midfield combo. Imagine Madrid playing with a trio of Khedira, Lass and Essien.... except the Madrid 3 are actually better lol.

Haven't seen them... but there's no way PSG can control play without both Veratti and Motta. They need a midfield link.

Predicted results:

Group A
1st PSG
2nd Porto
Note: Porto are currently ahead by a point, but PSG play them at home on matchday 6. Expect PSG to win.

Group B
1st Schalke
2nd Arsenal
Note: Arsenal will need to win v Olympiakos and hope Schalke lose to Montpellier (which won't happen).

Group C
1st Malaga
2nd AC Milan
Note: These positions cannot change.

Group D
1st Dortmund
2nd Real Madrid
Note: These positions cannot change.

Group E
1st Shakhtar
2nd Juventus
Note: I'm assuming Juve draw in Donetsk.

Group F
1st Bayern
2nd Valencia
Note: I expect both teams will beat the other teams in their group on the last matchday.

Group G
1st Barca
2nd Celtic
Note: Celtic will probably defeat Spartak Moscow (who sit rock bottom and have nothing to play for), whilst Benfica will lose to Barca. Top spot is secure for Barca regardless, but they will no doubt still try to win it.

Group H
1st Man U
2nd Galatasaray
Note: Similar to group G, this is very interesting in that the clubs fighting for 2nd (Cluj and Galatasaray) are against 2 teams that have nothing to play for in Man U (secured 1st place) and Braga (rock bottom and out of Europe). That being said, I think Man U at home will get the win over Cluj anyway, whereas Braga won't even bother turning up to face the Turks.

1st	2nd
PSG Schalke Malaga Dortmund Shakhtar Bayern Barca Man U	Porto Arsenal Milan Madrid Juve Valencia Celtic Galatasaray

Man U could draw: Porto, Arsenal, Milan, Madrid, Juve, Valencia, Celtic

2nd place teams
Porto could draw: Schalke, Malaga, Dortmund, Shakhtar, Bayern, Barca, Man U
Arsenal could draw: PSG, Schalke, Malaga, Dortmund, Shakhtar, Bayern, Barca
Milan could draw: PSG, Schalke, Dortmund, Shakhtar, Bayern, Barca, Man U
Madrid could draw: PSG, Schalke, Shakhtar, Bayern, Man U
Juve could draw: PSG, Schalke, Malaga, Dortmund, Bayern, Barca, Man U
Valencia could draw: PSG, Schalke, Dortmund, Shakhtar, Man U
