Any guesses to our lineup in that first qualifier?
It'd take a true ITK to get that right at this stage of the year
I found this on the Echo site (courtesy of ESPN) regarding what certain pots could look like if the seeded teams made it through the qualifiers(*) along with Nice and if Man United win the Europa League(**)...
Pot 1Real Madrid
Bayern Munich
Juventus
Benfica
Chelsea
Shakhtar Donetsk
Monaco
Spartak Moscow
Pot 2
Barcelona
Atletico Madrid
PSG
Dortmund
Sevilla*
Man City
FC Porto
Man United**
Pot 3Liverpool*
Basel
Anderlecht
Dynamo Kiev*
Ajax*
Napoli*
Spurs
Olympiakos*
Pot 4Roma
Leipzig
Feyenoord
Nice*
Celtic*
Unknown 1
Unknown 2
Unknown 3
I think if Ajax win the EL then Roma move up to pot 3.
In theory the hardest group we could get is... Bayern, Barcelona,
Liverpool, Roma - sh*t!
The 'easiest' we could get is probably... Spartak, Porto,
Liverpool, Celtic
Other teams that could take up the unknown positions in the draw: CSKA, Viktoria Plzen, Club Brugge, Steaua Bucharest, Young Boys, Hoffenheim, Istanbul Basaksehir/Besiktas, PAOK/Panathinaikos.
Obviously a LOT could and will change between now and then though.
