Arsenal is screwed. United's road is very tricky too.

In order:
A: United, Sociedad
B: Real, Juventus
C: Benfica, PSG
D: Bayern, City
E: Chelsea, Schalke
F: Dortmund, Napoli (unless Arsenal do something in the next 23 hours)
G: Porto, Atleti
H: Barcelona, Milan

Can't wait for the transfer window to close so Madrid can figure out who's playing where and start hitting a more steady rhythm in the domestic competition. Juve is a strong side, and Galatasaray are no push overs. I expect group B and group F, having three relatively strong teams, will produce the best match ups.

Apparently Ribery's won the UEFA Player of the Year award. Well-deserved.

You're underestimating the impact of our new signings. We've got Yaya Sanogo, Mathieu Flamini, and (hopefully) Yossi Benayoun on free transfers! Sanogo and Flamini alone probably make us the favorites to win the Champions League this year and if we get Benayoun it's a done deal.

So, the representatives of group B in Realgm:

Real: luisnani
Juve: Me, (where did the other Juventino go?)

I'm hoping that he can somehow make a comeback for the group stage

All German teams with manageable groups although Leverkusen are going to have a tough time with Shaktar and sociedad being both very good teams to go with united out of pot 1. Bayer should benefit from getting to sit back and counter against these sides though, rather than having to force the play. Keissling will need to hero up and Leon's gunna have to be on top form in net.

Schalke with a very manageable group, although one they can easily manage to Schalke up. Dortmund and Bayern should definitely advance though.

I'm actually feeling another let down from Citeh, CZKA are crazy fast on the break with Dzagoev, doumbia, Honda and musa, and with the swedes sitting front of their defense and Akinfeev they're very tough to break down as well.

Sociedad at home are a really good team. Madrid and Barca couldn't get a result there last season.

Yeah, any of those three could join united in the knockouts. Hopefully Bayer can sit back and play their game and don't get suckered into running the play like they did in the EL last year. Cause they're tough to break down and deadly on the break.

I love the group we got. Also like the group Porto drew. Can't wait for CL football to start

Congratz Franck Ribery. Well deserved. :clap:

A jersey suits him better than a suit, though.

Funny that CR7 didn't even think it was worth attending this and rather went to a friendly game against La Coruna. :rofl:
