Fuck them. Go anyway. Id travel the 24 hrs to watch the game by myself. I went to London on my own to watch Chelsea play a couple of years ago.

We have the return leg at home right? Need to come away from Paris with at least a goal. We score two there and keep a clean sheet I think we have the tie in the bag

Diego Costa vs David Luiz, what a fun tie this will be...

[Special Juan 27,439]

1-1 in Paris and smash the life out of them at home. We are also quite capable of winning in Paris with ease IMO.

Clubs to split record £1.6bn pot from European competitions more evenly

Champions League: Premier League hit by Uefa seed change

The Premier League will have only one top-seeded club in next season's Champions League after Uefa introduced new regulations.

For the 2015-16 campaign, the eight top seeds will be the champions from Europe's top seven leagues and the competition's holders.

The change in rules should lead to more of Europe's major clubs meeting each other in the group stage.

Previously teams were seeded by Uefa's rankings, based on results in Europe.

That meant Chelsea and Arsenal were both in pot one for the group-stage draw at the start of the season.

But, as there is no Premier League side left in this year's competition, only the English champions will be placed among the top seeds next season.

Better be us :blue scalf:

it might NOT be good .. we could be TOP seeds and meet RM Barca or A M

[edetarod 2,155]

good, the CL was getting boring with repetitive ties in the group stage

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

RM in the group stage would be a good test for our side. Don't think we've ever played them before, actually.

Shocked that RM progressed, with some key players unavailable. (didnt see the game btw)

5 defenders in the madrid 11. That is so fu%k!ng cheap.

We have played them in Europe before actually, not in the Champions League but in the UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

UEFA Super Cup in 1998:

Real Madrid 0-1 Chelsea

UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1971:

Chelsea 1-1 Real Madrid

Real Madrid 1-2 Chelsea (replay)

Good practice for the knockout stages!

Which are the teams going to be in other 3 pots? Any approximated guess from anyone for the pots?

Tried to look up on the UEFA site ... couldn't understand it.

Pot 1 will consist of champions from the top seven European leagues (based on UEFA's country coefficient ranking IIRC) and the Champions League winner. And if I'm getting this right, the other three pots will have teams lined up based on their club coefficient ranking - in other words, it will be similar to how teams have been seeded into pot 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the past years.

You forgot this too.
