>Pot 2 clearly stronger than pot 1 with no "easy" draw
Was the change in seedings a mistake?

It's tomorrow???
Yep, 14 hours from now
Also this is the first time I'm getting into football and the first time watching football. And I don't know which team to go for.
This draw makes for good group stage games though
shakhtar is shit now
Inb4 Halal Madrid, Porto, Basel, Qarabag
>Group D and G tho
As long as you root for the bad guy, Real Madrid, it's fine. You can choose anyone else but them
How can you draw teams like that?
Don't go for Real, Barcelona, P$G, or Chelsea and you're fine. Those teams are the ultimate assholes of football.
I've decided to go for Liverpool
Bumping because I'm excited to get into my first champions league
Good choice
Maximum SVINOYOB:
Spartak
Barcelona
Napoli
Sporting
>liverslip
I don't think that group 2 is much better. I prefer the new seeding because it increases the chance for games between top teams in the groups.
Yeah, they also means more one sided groups, but you can not watch those.
Oh my, hang on in there son, you're in for a wild ride
>I've decided to go for Liverpool
top zozzle
>I've decided I never want to watch my team win the league
Good choice friend
If you're being serious, you don't have to "go" for any team. It's embarrassing watching American's arbitrarily pick a European team. You can enjoy it for the spectacle. The most entertaining match up in recent CL football was Bayern-Juventus, and I say that as someone who didn't care who won.
Real Madrid = Halal Madrid
Barcelona = Farça / UEFAlona
Manchester Uniterd = Manure
Manchester City = $hitty
Chelsea = Chelski
Liverpool = Sliperpool
PSG = P$G / QSG
Bayern = Buyern
Juventus = Jewve
any team I forgot?
bayern is gayern desu, their ultras wave lgbt flags
Pathetico Madrid
>group G
RIP spurs
the absolute madman. enjoy mr bones wild ride
skysports.com
was it a conspracy lads?
Pick a team based on the colors of their uniform, that's what everyone does
...
JUST
Wow a group Celtic could actually survive, what a sight.
...
How many bongs left
famous last words
Liverpool are in the CL? Neat!
Any fellow Arsenal bros pumped for this? Can't wait to see who we get!
thank you based oldest ally
Why do Liverpool and their fans feel so entitled to be in the CL when they've mounted 2 serious title challenges in the last decade?
last time someone did analysis on the odds of the draw . anything like that again?
see if it's if it's benfica, barcelona, basel, celtic. I'll fucking top myself
Celtic would lose all of those away games and would lose to PSG at home. They wouldn't survive.
only thing that makes them relevant is CL
>signing better players
Sup Forums is the worst for gets.
how the fuck are spartak, shakhtar and benfica in pot 1?
Unless it's on another board
i remember when celtic were in pot 3.
you know it's a tournament that rewards mediocrity ahead of victories when teams are better off getting a good run in the rueopa league than taking part in the top competition
They won their league.
it's supposed to be weighted by the quality of the leagues and nations. their leagues and coub
League winners of Europe's top 8 leagues. How many times does this need to be explained. UEFA changed the seeding process a few years ago. Leicester were in Pot 1 last season.
their leagues and countries are average at best
nah it's because "teams are better off getting a good run in the europa league than taking part in the top competitio"n or being champions of their home league
how is ukraine one of the top 8 leagues
...
Huh, am I right in saying that England now has more teams in the CL than any other country?
>inb4 none of them make it into the round of 16
6
Juventus
Dortmund
Liverpool
Leipzig
That is the most fun group I can think of desu
Bayern
Atletico
Tottenham
Sporting
Probably the most balanced group
>two german clubs together
tard
They changed it last season.
If there is something wrong then it's the UEFA coefficent's fault.
They are 8th, only there because Real won both CL and Liga.
i can't tell what the best and worst group combinations would be because i don't feel the seeding system reflects the quality of the sides just their recent history
Leipzig are still strong like thye were last year?
>Dortmund
>Leipzig
>balanced
for you
praying for a 3rd place this year, fuck these pots
Actually thought it was that Polish club Legia warsaw for some reason. There's no real fun teams to watch in th 4th pot, maybe celtic since brenny can't set up a defense for shit
We just need the return of Milan, Inter and Deportivo and the Champions League is back to being perfect.
Leipzig are decent.
We need a groupstage at the Ro16 for it to be perfect.
what time is the draw
5
1am JST
Think they'll just be like the typical shit in europe german team desu
why
Second group stage was fun
Lots of big teams in the same group.
group stages only imo
8 groups, down to 4 groups
down to 2 groups, down to a final group
>i only want 1 strong team in each group to make sure the group stage will be a snoozefest
what is your problem, la?
This is why.
How will Mandril rig it?
>you now remember teams like Nantes, Boavista, Sparta Prague, Panathinaikos and Sturm Graz being in the second group stage
>Boavista
got absolutely jewed by the Poortuguese league
Needs a final, IMO. Last 8 should be 2 groups then there should be semi-finals and the showpiece event at Wembley, not Olympiastadion or the AA.
how is spartak moscow in pot 1 but the team that finished 2nd is only pot 4 . shouldn't CSKA be in pot 2?
No they shouldn't.
>Well Done Baku
yes they should . since they decided to weight it by league instead of club
I mean, that would also be cool, especially now that """big""" nations get 4 spots flat.
What team do you root for in the US ? (NFL/NBA/MLB/MLS/NHL)
don't see what you're on about
the only teams i know are qarabag and maribor from the qualifiers lol sad state of affairs baka
Pot 1 is where the league winners go. The other pots are decided by coefficient points.
the league thing is just a population game so the biggest countries bring their audiences to the sponsors
bloody bankers bonuses
Don't you see the quality of those groups?
but there are league winners in the other pots
Yes but it's not-so-relevant leagues and a pot with the other winners would be way weaker than any other.
Pot with only league winners
>Nicosia
>Basel
>Garabag
>Feyenoord
>Maribor
>Olympiakos
>Celtic
>Anderlecht
Weaker teams who did not win a league
>CSKA
>Lepizig
>Sevilla
>Liverpool
>Roma
>Sporting
>Napoli
>Porto
should mix them about then.
you could get real madrid or nicosia . bring real luck of the draw into it
you have 17 league champions (plus the C1 champion), how can you make only one pot with all those teams ?
make more than 1 pot, thicko
Please not Dortmund, they'd be after us so hard after we meme'd them in the Europa League, plus thanks to Kloppo they're eternal bro tier.
Some scary potential groups there for us
>Bayern, Atletico, Liverpool, Celtic
>Real, PSG, Liverpool, Leipzig
I guess Porto are the "easy" draw from pot 2, but still not easy. Wouldn't mind another crack at Sevilla
>Spartak, Porto, Liverpool, Maribor
That would be nice, especially since we got the hardest draw in the last round
>That would be nice, especially since we got the hardest draw in the last round
You didn't draw Basaksehir.
The only certainties in this are that Celtic will draw Barcelona, and Chelsea will get the weakest draw.
literally bookmark this post.
also
Retarded.
>chelsea will never not get a babby draw
i wonder how much abramovic pays uefa
pathetic gloryhunting plastic cunt
You're hard
