I think we're likely to be pot 3 again?
I don't mind it to be honest. It's rare that we'll miss one of the big boys again. At the end of the day, we're only going to learn more.
Pot 1 is likely going to consist of most of these:
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Chelsea, Spartak Moscow, Juventus, Monaco, Shakhtar
No easy ties in there. Spartak Moscow probably the easiest but even with the away trip, it's not going to be easy, though we got our only wins this season against CSKA Moscow. Likewise with Shakhtar and the long away trips.
Then Pot 2 will just have the likes of Atletico, Dortmund, Man City, Porto, Napoli, PSG, Sevilla, Man Utd?
Again, no easy ties. I guess the worst we could end up with is either Real Madrid and Dortmund or Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid really.
If Man Utd DO make it by the way and they are a 5th English team, can they end up being in the same group as another English team? That'd be nice.
