Champions league draw 09/10 [27 August - 5pm]

and whch team will we face if we qualify for the next round ? Barca or inter ..........

Might try to go to Lyon, good atmosphere

Group A: Bayern Munich, Juventus, Bordeaux, Maccabi Haifa
Group B: MANCHESTER UNITED, CSKA Moscow, Besiktas, Wolfsburg
Group C: AC Milan, Real Madrid, Marseille, FC Zurich
Group D: CHELSEA, FC Porto, Atletico Madrid, APOEL
Group E: LIVERPOOL, Lyon, Fiorentina, Debrecen
Group F: FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, Dinamo Kiev, FC Rubin Kazan
Group G: Sevilla, RANGERS, Stuttgart, Unirea
Group H: ARSENAL, AZ Alkmaar, Olympiakos, Standard

All the English clubs have done alright ......

Not a bad draw im happy and i wouldn't be too excited if i was a Manc now, two tricky trips away and the German champions.

Lyons days are far from over they spent £60 million in the summer highest amount spent this summer barring Real and City.

I'll settle for that draw. Only just seen it now!

Yep happy enough. Not too many airmiles on the away trips, vital for me. Very winnable group

Lisandro Lopez ad Bafetembi Gomis have been outstanding thus far, two new recruits. They'll provide stern opposition.

One thing you can tell straight away from the draw is that getting first place in the group won't really be a huge benefit, unless some big sides mess up.

Totally agree mate. You could win your group and still face Barca, Madrid, Inter, Milan, Atletico, Chelsea, Juventus, Marseille, Bayern - and that's just the clubs who have a tough group to get through.

Debrecen. Bought their way out of relegation only to go on to win their first four ever titles.  Their chairman is on the board of the national FA. Hmm... sounds like the Mancs of Hungary.

Just thought I'd point out that it says we have to travel to Romania when Debrecen is in Hungary.

Decent group for us but I still expect us to get through. Let's hope we can wrap up top spot in the group by Match day 4?

Gonna be some cracking ties. Real Madrid playing AC Milan. Barcelona playing Inter Milan.

Man United got some difficult group with Besiktas, CSKA Moscow and Wolfsburg. IMO, Besiktas and CSKA Moscow aren't the nicest of places to play. Let's hope Man United do not qualify for the knock out stages.

Im pleased with the draw. Having watched Fiorentina yesterday im not worried about them. Should be 3 points at home against all 3 teams (tho Lyon def will not be easy). And should get at least one victory away. Couldnt really care less who the other english sides got.

Just thought I'd point out that it says we have to travel to Romania when Debrecen is in Hungary.

Sorry. That should have been travel 'through' Romania.

We need to buck up our ideas, or else we may struggle in this group!

Watched the Fiorentina v Sporting game last night, thought Sporting the better team and Fiorentina were a bit lucky, still they have to be beaten, their pitch was awful and if we have a full team out I can see us winning....

happy with our group, Fiorentina could have been an easier team though

Here are the fixtures:

September
 
16 Debreceni VSC (H)
29 Fiorentina (a)
 
October
 
20 Lyon (H)
 
November
 
4 Lyon (a)
24 Debreceni VSC (a)
 
December
 
9 Fiorentina (H)

We've got to be confident of winning this group. It could have been worse.

But then we've got improve our football of late.

Tough group that is, but shouldn't be too hard to get through in 1st place

Quite happy with the draw, if we can keep our concentration and perform to our usual standard in Europe progression from this group should be a mere formality..... Fiorentina nor Lyon are anywhere near the teams they have been in the past but could still be tricky lets just hope the lads perform as they have in recent seasons and we'll be ok.

Might take a mini holiday and drive down to the Lyon away game.

Having said that trying to get a ticket will be a nightmare.

Not an easy group, but not too difficult a group.

I think it will pan our like this:
Liverpool
Lyon
Fiorentina
Debreceni

At least we dont have to play Chelsea again................yet
