I've never liked easy runs. If you reach the quarters or semis by dodging the top teams you haven't proven anything. The games vs big teams are the most enjoyable as well. Entertainment wise, yeah that would be great. But success wise not so. We were always playing on emotions and mentality rather consistent quality. Lets say we play Barca, Napoli and Leipzig in groups, we need to give consistent run againt everyone to get further. This is where I think our club is not yet on that level. If we get lesser teams, we progress one way or other. Once we are in elimination stages, the further we go, the more emotions will be around for us to progress. And we are rather good in such moments. Thats why I can see us win against barca, napoli etc in elimination stages, but not so much in group stages when we dont yet have that drive. Its wrong mentality, but its how we played CL for a while now. Maybe Conte will change it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Dafuq is Barca in pot2? Doesn't the uefa club ranking coefficient also come into consideration when computing the pots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot 1 now consists of champions of the 8 highest ranked nations. The other 3 pots will feature teams based on their club coefficient. Had they not changed it, we would be in Pot 2 for next season's draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, except that i's the champions of the 7 highest ranked nations + the holders, the 8th nation champion will get to Pot 1 if the winners also won their domestic league ( which is assured to be the case this year ).

Jase 43,479 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The Champions League draw will take place tomorrow at 5pm UK time and here are the confirmed pots: Odds on us ending up with Atletico Madrid, Napoli and RB Leipzig (or something along that difficulty)?

Celtic, Anderlect and Porto please.That's the best mix of least not so difficult and not so far. Although part of me want's Garabag just for the mystery.
