You`re so right, he had a good game and he scored but the whole team sucked, he for sure misses KAka and Pirlo now.


And also Ajax didnt make it in the group stages, thats sad couse they traditionaly play well in Champions league

my vote gous to chelski

Was thinking of starting this thread the other day. Lazy me.
Chelsea, Valencia + Bremen I think. You just know Sheva will be back (and probably haunt us too).

Sheva in blue in San Siro amongst the Milan fans. That will be something.
And if we get Benfica too, then more memories for both!

I also want Chelsea for the same reason. I vote PSV, is in our road the last years.

With the RIGHT players (which I guess we sadly WON'T have...), we simply can beat any other side to the pulp.

Drawing Chelsea would be great.
I want ACM to be drawn with Dynamo K. and Spartak or CSCA Moscow.
I know I want too much, the odds are very low to get all 4 in the same group. I will be OK with any 3 of these together (still an unlikely event).
Somehow, I think the odds of getting 2 of these 4 in the same group are not that bad.

last CL Russia and Ukraine had 0 (nada) representation at the CL group stage, this year we have 4 teams (add Shakhtar to the 3 mentioned above).
(edited later) - Dynamo K. cannot play in a group against Spartak since they are both in the 4th basket.

However, since CSCA is in the 3rd basket their probability to get to travel to Ukraine at the gropu stage is 25% (2 out of 8 teams in the 4th).

I cannot post an English version of the raitings and the seedings of the 32 team. If someone has it (posted already) please post it here (or provide a link).

Don't khow yet who we face in the grouping only sure that it will not be Barca, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Inter and very likely not Valencia, Arsenal and MU. Those are the 7 teams together with us in the first post of Europe 8 best in the draw.

To be safe it is better we are in the same group with Chelsea so we don't face them early in knock-out.

1: Milan, Barcelona, Real, Inter, Manchester Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Valencia

2:Chelsea, Roma, Lyon, Bayern, Porto, PSV Eindhoven, Celtic, Lille

3:Bordaux, Werder, Sporting, Benfika, Olympiacos, CSKA Moscow, Steaua, AEK Athens

4:Hamburg, Anderlecht, Galatasaray, Spartak Moscow, Shakhtar Donieck, Dinamo Kyiv, Kobenhavn, Levski.


So, we can't get a team from the 1 basket.
From the 2nd basket we can't get Roma, while any of the other 7 teams is possibile opponent.
We can get anyone from the last 2 baskets.

imo, the hardest group for us would be :
Milan
Chelsea
Benfika
Hamburg

while the easiest
Milan
Celtic
AEK Athens
Levski

Here's my guess:

Milan

PSV (always with us wherever we go, lets see if it is truly meant to be for Alex to be playing at the San Siro every season :P)

Sporting Lisbon

Spartak Moskow


I think Real will get Roma, Olympiakos cause they're always paired together.


Oh boy, who would hope for a Barca, Chelsea, Benfica, Hamburg group? Damn I just saw Lyon are seeded #2!! UEFA really need to change their rules.. I cannot also believe how Barca is ranked 2..for the last few seasons they have reached no where in UCL and only passed QF last year where they won it and now they're 2nd place! Chelsea have been good in the last 3 years while Man U have been absolutely terrible and didnt even make it past group stages last year and are Seed #1!! Arsenal who only made the final last year, and have been under performing in CL for the last fwe years are seed #1 !! And omg Liverpool WHAT THE HELL IS LIVERPOOL doing in seed #1!!! Valencia? I think they only played in 3 of the last 5 CL's!!

Isn't the seeding based on the last 5 years? Milan should be rank #1 BY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

i want milan with steaua [to see kaka & co at bucharest], chelsea and galata[for some revenges]

Any team we have, I want Milan to crush them all! Nyahahaha!

I want us to play Chelsea but **** I would absolutely hate it if we lost....so....are you all really sure you wanna play them?

FC Barcelona 127.006
AC Milan 129.020
Real Madrid CF 120.006
FC Internazionale Milano 112.020
Liverpool FC 105.950
Arsenal FC 101.950
Manchester United FC 100.950
Valencia CF 95.006

As you can see we have the most points of all the teams, but because of the Calciopoli-scandal, we have been ranked as number 2. Under normal circumstances we would be number 1.

In my opinion the easiest group would be the following:

Milan
Lille
Steaua Bucharest
FC Copenhagen
