I've added a poll at the top.
Be nice to go back to play at Atletico Madrid's ground - but then they're probably the toughest opponent in that group.
Lyon would be a decent trip. Can't remember us having played them?
I can see your point but Ramos would probably love being the pantomime villain! He's done it throughout his entire career. (Not to mention the fact that he could injure one of our players again!)
Thanks for posting the poll.
Drawn in the same group with Lyon in the forgettable 2009-2010 campaign. Lost 1-2 at home to a 90th minute winner (Yossi scored for us) and drew 1-1 in France to finish 3rd in the group.
Ryan Babel scored for us that night. that was December 2009. Our lineup that night under Rafa was:
Pepe, Agger, Kyrgiakos, Carragher, Insua
(still playing for Stuttgart - had to look it up), Mascherano, Leiva, Benayoun, Voronin, Kuyt, Torres
(Later that season was the last time I've been over to see the team, beating Lille 3-0 in the round of 16 of the UEFA Cup - 10 years is too long but I was the one who fathered five kids so.....).
