39.500 Club Brugge (BEL) vs. 6.250 LASK (AUT)

If the Belgians win they will go to the Pot 3 at the expense of fellow Belgians, you know who; while an Austrian victory will send them to the dizzy heights of Pot 4 and preserving peace elsewhere.

21.500 Slavia Praha (CZE) vs. 3.500 CFR Cluj (ROU)

Whoever wins goes to the Pot 4, nice lads aren’t they?

[Robespierre]

Honestly I hope to get Bayern @Hapless_Hans
You can get stronger teams on POT 1 tbh.. , and especially, if you get Bayern , you avoid at same time Borussia Dortmund and RB Lepizig ( the only one serious on POT 4 I believe who gets them, it will be nervous for it. * Ah , I can't get Atalanta . )
It sounds like a good deal for me

[Hapless_Hans]

The only thing that's certain here is that Real will be drawn into Zenit's group

[rincon]

As always I definitely don't want Atletico, enough with them even if last year's Atletico tie was incredible. Would like Madrid from pot 2.

[Art Morte]

Hopefully no Madrid teams in our group.

[Myesyats]

Hopefully no Madrid teams in our group.

RM is an easy win for you lol

[futbol]

Mehdrid in pot 2.

[Nishankly]

We'll struggle in the Group stage regardless of what who we get so meh

[rincon]

How did a CL win take you from being optimistic about Liverpool, to pessimistic? In both supercups, in the PL, and now in the CL I see you downplaying pool.

[Perucho21]

Zenit
Real
Genk
Cluj/Praha

[Robespierre]

Sh*t, I didn't remember Real are on 2nd POT.
for who is on 3rd as me is a terrifying thing.
We don't face Real Madrid since '98-'99, it was at group too and it gave the last great European night by Roberto Baggio.
But I'd put off the match for another year. Or give me Zenit otherwise

[Nishankly]

How did a CL win take you from being optimistic about Liverpool, to pessimistic? In both supercups, in the PL, and now in the CL I see you downplaying pool.

Klopp is a 2 leg man, not 90 mins. We are unbeaten over 180 mins in every tournament whereas we have a horrendous record in cup games over 90 mins

[Nishankly]

In my defense, I did not downplay the Chelsea game. But 90 mins game and we won on penalties hmmmmmm

[rincon]

Group stage ties are still two legged. You are the actual champions, gtfo with the excuses. Pool are favourites vs everyone.

Marca have put out a favorites list to win CL. They have 10 teams on their list:
three Spanish (RMad, Barca, Atleti), 3 EPL (pool, tott and City), 2 German (Bayern and Dortmund), Juve and PSG!

I say the list should be only 6 Barca, Atleti, Pool, Tott, Juve and PSG!

Because they're cowards and whiners and would like to be able to continue playing the underdog even if they've never been one

[Robespierre]

[Sina]

Man city
Atleti
Inter
Leipzig
would be unreal
Pep,Simeone,Conte and Nagelsmann

Also

Liverpool
Real Madrid
Bayer Leverkusen
Atalanta
would be fun

Spurs ain't winning no CL. Their run last season was a fluke.

There is a huge difference between "Struggling to perform" and "underdogs".

Look it up

[NeganIsco]

Mehdrid in pot 2.
