After another brilliant Champions League season, which saw Barca winning their 5th title with a 3-1 victory over a great Juventus side in Berlin's Olympic stadium.

So first off all, congratulations to FC Barcelona, who deserved to win the competition this past season.


Though, the qualification rounds for the 2015/16 campaign have already started and there are a lot of hopefulls trying everything to make it to the biggest competition in european club football.
The second round of qualification will start next week and feature teams like past winners Celtic FC, who will play Icelands champions Stjarnan F.C.
Also part of that round will be teams like Partizan Belgrade, Dinamo Zagreb, Maccabi Tel Aviv, NK Maribor, Bate Borisov or Ludogoretz Razgrad.

To get a better look at the current phase of qualification just take look at the wikipedia page, which is up to date on everything Champions League.

The final will be played at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.


As we're watching who'll move on to the next rounds of CL qualification there are already five teams qualified for the playoff round(League route). Three of them are already seeded and those are Manchester United, Valencia and Bayer Leverkusen, while Lazio and Sporting are in limbo but most likely unseeded for the final round of qualification.

Oh yeah. They are building something there at Inter though. Miranda, Kondogbia, Murillo. All nice defensive players. I think they'll be much better this season

You're welcome.

I'm just really excited for Borussia playing this competition and making all that money by just qualifying.

Who's currently allowed to manage your squad?
I mean, you've got the great Poldi who might pop a beer belly while enjoying Istanbul.

They're in pot three and could get a really tough group so getting out of the group stages would be a good thing.
Top 8(quaterfinals) would require some good fortune during draws, IMO.

It's always fun how you guys talk to him about Mainz not being a contender when the really interesting question would be how Gala would do in a real quality league and not just playing some-kind-of-spor as competition to qualify.

depends, does gala give up its best players to the monopoly team of the league or as is?
