Thanks for posting. I notice the traditional heavies are more prominent in Pot 2.
Hopefully the coming season marks a return to normalcy. Normal preseason. Normal set of fixtures. Normal full stadia. Normal away support. Normal fitness with players not missing for CoVid (or suspicion of CoVid). If we can get this I like our chances to contend for honors in this event and the league.
Next season has it's own set of challenges. The Olympics at the beginning, AFCON during the busiest, a disrupted pre season with some players available from Day 1 and others with minimal rest arriving at the last minute. I think away support will still be restricted, especially at European games.
While it's still too early to predict the draw, there are the usual teams to avoid from Pot 1, Atletico, Bayern, Inter, possibly Villarreal also. In the lower pots, there will probably be Atalanta, AC Milan, Seville, Lyon, the Dutch and Turkish teams to avoid as well. But even last year, we had our own issues dealing with Midtylland from Pot 4. So there's plenty of banana skins in there. We'll have to wait until all the qualifiers are done, to see who we want.
