*Liverpool pot 1 if they win CL final, Ajax pot 1 if Real win
I hope that we get a decently challenging group.Considering the first 3 pots, I'd either have a super easy group, or a super hard one. I'd be extremely happy with both examples of "Real Madrid, Inter" or "Frankfurt, Salzburg". My dream scenario would be "AC Milan,BVB" though. Massive names, and a group that we can go through as 1st. Also, I have a lot of AC Milan supporting mates, so it'd be incredible to watch the match with them and remind ourselves how far both of our teams have come.
The only team I wouldn't want is PSG. Shit club, Poch is gone, and the games would be hard as hell. No hype whatsoever for the matches either...

Furthest away trip of the clubs shown is Shakthar that's assuming they are involved and allowed to play home games . Are we expecting clubs from Turkey or from further afield to qualify , above clubs apart from Shaktar are all within 3 hrs flying time which keeps costs down for travelling fans. Rangers could get through the qualifying so another short trip, at least no long trips to Russia.
