first time we have this new pots arrangement. any thoughts?

we could have groups like

Barcelona - United - Roma - Wolfsburg

or

Zenit - Porto - Dynamo - Malmo

The range of the pots have been modified to allow teams with way lower coef. to be in higher pots. That is why we are having RM and City in the same pot which is still bothering me.

At least Arsenal will not match with Bayern at the round of 16.

My Predictions
Group A: 1.PSG 2. Madrid 3.Shakhtar 4 Malmö
Group B: 1.United 2.Wolfsburg 3.CSKA 4.PSV
Group C: 1.Atletico 2.Galatasaray 3.Benfica 4.Astana
Group D: 1.Sevilla 2.Juventus 3.City 4.Borussia M.
Group E: 1 . Barcelona 2. Roma 3. Leverkusen 4.Bate
Group F: 1.Bayern 2. Arsenal 3. Olympiakos 4. Zagreb
Group G: 1.Chelsea 2.Porto 3.Dynamo Kyiv 4. MaccabiTel Aviv
Group H: 1.Valencia 2. Zenit 3.Lyon 4.Gent

My predictions :

A- 1- Madrid 2- PSG
B- 1- United 2- CSKA
C- 1- Atletico 2- Benfica
D- 1- Juve 2- Sevilla
E- 1- Barça 2- Leverkusen
F- 1- Bayern 2- Arsenal
G- 1- Chelsea 2- Porto
H- 1- Valencia 2- Lyon ( hopefully )

edit :
B- 1-United 2- Wolfsburg
D- City - Sevilla no specific order...

Waiting for this weekend to rate Juve.

@Oloman true, but we will get Barcelona then. If we will even go through.

Group A : Real Madrid ; Paris Saint-Germain
Group B : Wolfsburg ; Manchester United
Group C : Atletico Madrid ; Benfica
Group D : Manchester City ; Sevilla
Group E : Barcelona ; Leverkusen
Group F : Bayern ; Arsenal
Group G : Chelsea ; Porto
Group H : Valencia ; Zenit

Group A: Real Madrid, PSG
Group B: Man Utd, Wolfsburg
Group C: Atletico Madrid, Benfica
Group D: Sevilla, Man City
Group E: Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen
Group F: Arsenal, Dinamo Zagreb
Group G: Chelsea, Porto
Group H: Valencia, Lyon

@oloman fair point.

I think it's always the same case. City, RMA & Arsenal got the hardest groups, and Chelsea & Man Utd have the easiest. But whatever, it's great to have top teams after all. It's just down to Arsenal to deliver, no excuses.

"It's just down to Arsenal to deliver, no excuses."

"It's just down to Arsenal to deliver, no excuses."

Exactly , should have lost to Olympiacos at home and Zagreb away , now good luck against Bayern ...

Congratulations to Atletico Madrid and Benfica for qualifying to Round of 16.

Well, I got half of the 8 group right. Never thought PSV would go through instead of Man United though. Props to them.

Group A: RM - PSG
Group B: Manchester United - Wolfsburg
Group C: Atletico Madrid - Benfica
Group D: City - Sevilla
Group E: Barcelona - Roma
Group F: Bayern - Arsenal
Group G: Chelsea - Porto
Group H: Zenit - Valencia

12/16

Still cant believe United is not in the next round..

SunFlash and me made a point there that Wolfsburg will be a great great challenge... and look at what happened to us :(

Yeah likewise I made this comment

@SunFlash Well Champions of Netherlands, 2nd place of Bundesliga and 2nd place of Russian league... can't say it's gonna be easy for United...

Yeah never underrate other leagues, Bundesliga teams are just unlucky to be in Bayern League, doesnt mean they are weak. I never stop reminding it.

Wolfsburg are good team , but United has only themselves to blame for not playing up to their potential . This was easy group , but they did Liverpool of 2014-15 season . Only good challenger was Wolfsburg . CSKA , PSV are not even best in their respective leagues . Ofcourse domestic league form rarely merit to judge the team but nonetheless United is in top 4 one of the best teams of England . Shame the way they exited .

United could have played so much better.

Entirely LVG's fault he was unable to top the group with his available squad.
