Midtjylland

And you'll still end up second in your group.

[danyjr]

Why the fuck are Zenit and Porto in the first seed while Atlético, Barcelona and City are in the second?!

It was the same last year, and because of it we had a joke group with Zenit, Lyon, Benfica and Leipzig.

Because pool one is for league winners?

[BarrileteCosmico]

Yup, it's been the rule for years now

[BarcaLearning]

Group stages has been a joke for a long time now since it kept expanding so much. And thats how u get luck as an even bigger factor and how u end up more often now with teams on easier or harder runs through the comp.

[M99]

What do you mean since it kept expanding? Its been 32 teams for ages.

[halamadrid2]

Meh don't care about the groups. It's what hapoens after that interests me

Give me whichever team. It really doesn't matter

[rincon]

Yup, it's been the rule for years now

And its improved the group stages a lot, more competitive now.

[Helmer]

Liverpool
Dortmund (first preference) / if not Ajax
Atalanta/ if not Dortmund then RB Leipzig
Rennes

What an exciting group it will be
Don't want other meaningless/toothless teams from group 2. The matches will be boring and do not want some shit easy group, let's burn it to the ground. Cant wait to face Atalanta

[iftikhar]

How can Krasnodar be in Pot 3 if they are tournament debutante? Does EL performance count as seeding point for CL!

[Zagadka]

^^^ Yes. they were EL regulars and often made it out of the EL groups.

gotta feel for their fans. first time ever get to CL after so many tries, and UEFA won't even let a 20% capacity stadium with masks and social distancing. Thick as shit!

[Helmer]
