Braga v Udinese
Spartak Moscow v Fenerbahce
Malaga v Panathinaikos
Borussia Monchengladbach v Dynamo Kiev
Lille v Copenhagen

It could have been worse for Udinese!

It could indeed, will still be tough though. They better qualify, they owe all Serie A fans after losing both legs to Arsenal last year (don't forget how bad Arsenal were at the start of last season!)

Udinese need to make sure they qualify with us only having three teams eligible for the tournament this year.

Group Stage Draw at 17:00

Pot One: Chelsea, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Porto, AC Milan.

Pot Two: Valencia, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St Petersburg, Schalke, Manchester City, Braga, Dynamo Kiev.

Pot Three: Olympiakos, Ajax, Anderlecht, Juventus, Spartak Moscow, Paris St Germain, Lille, Galatasaray.

Pot Four: Celtic, Borussia Dortmund, BATE Borisov, Dinamo Zagreb, CFR Cluj, Malaga, Montpellier, FC Nordsjaelland.

Milan and Juventu should get through, they fooking better do anyway.

Group D will be interesting.

Zenit will be the tough one for Milan. Anderlecht and Malaga shoud be alright for Milan to get past.

Juve. Shakhtar can be a wobble for us because they are a great team at the Donbass but I do expect us to go through with Chelsea.

Group D very interesting indeed. I think Real will top the group and I think it will come down to the last game between Dortmund v City to determine who joins Real in the Round of 16.

Aye it's top notch.Just joined the Cup Scheme which guarantees me a ticket. Last season they were £15-£20 a game and City say it will be reduced this season also.
