2014/15 UEFA Champions League

[Sion]

Easily to overlook the monumental achievement we've pulled off this season to go from 7th to definitely being in the group stages of next year's CL.

 

Our prospective opponents list is starting to take shape nicely.

 

Unless there's a shock in the qualifiers then we will get one of:

 

Real Madrid

FC Barcelona

Bayern Munich

Benfica

Atlético Madrid

Porto

 

Then one of:

 

Schalke 04

Dortmund

Basel

Juventus

PSG

Leverkusen

Olympiakos

 

 

Then pot 4 will probably have the likes of:

Monaco

Bilbao

Roma

Standard Liege

 

A group of Atletico, Dortmund, Roma would be nice for the aways. Bit better than Young Boys and SC Braga

 

Draw date is 28th August

Planning to have my football mates mini stag-do at a CL game so ideally hoping for one in the Low Countries/Germany.

 

Not a fan of Madrid/Barcelona or Portugal & Italy/Eastern Europe can feck off.

[Billy Dane]

Just come back from a week in Aalborg. They should win their league, be good to get them in the group stages - loads of Reds fans there.

[RBM]

We're going to win it

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Thanks for starting this thread Sion, looking forward to it

[Gunga Din]

we will be the team in pot 3 no one wants.

 

Real Madrid, Dortmund, us and Bilbao would be a hell of a group

Thats the way I am looking at it - not who we can get but who does not want us

Already told work I'll need time off in the autumn. Can't wait.

How are Dortmund still second seeds? They've done really well over last few years.

RM and Bilbao cannot be in same group.

[Lee W]

It's good to be back.

Seedings depend on performance in europe last 5 years, they have just been great last two years really.

[schmuckdonald]

Give us all the hard teams. We'll f***ing batter them.

I'd like CH-QR4 *4. Always fancied a trip to Belarus.

[allez les rouges]

The second pot defiantly looks beatable

[Sion]

Shame we can't get Ajax.

 

Potential for some real groups of death there.

 

e.g. Barcelona, Liverpool, Dortmund, Monaco

or Real Madrid City, Napoli, Roma

Unlikely.

[Sion]

Unlikely.

Dammit

 

You get the idea though

[smithdown]

Berfeckinlin though

 

That is crying out for it

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Atletico

Dortmund

Liverpool

Celtic

[Case]

The way I look at it is this. Some poor sods in Pot1 are going to get us instead of Sporting fecking Lisbon.

 

Bring it on.

Bit better than Young Boys and SC Braga

 

Not up for a bit of Young Boys w***dorf action then?
