UCL Draw Thread

[Clockwork 1,794]

I honestly would welcome Alti and real matchup. Last two seasons tactical blunders costed us in the CL, against PSG and Atletico. Rather make that blunder against thoes teams in the group stage then in the knockout stage. Better to be tested now and make a change if needed.

Champions League draw: Who can we get?

https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/08/champions-league-draw--who-can-we-get-.html

Chelsea’s interest in the Champions League begins on Thursday when the draw for the group stage is made in Monaco. It is due to start at 4.45pm UK time.

A change in regulations means Pot 1 is now no longer filled with those eight teams with the highest UEFA coefficients. Instead, the competition holders and the seven champions from the top domestic leagues, coefficient-wise, make it up. They of course include Chelsea.

However, because Barcelona won both the Champions League and La Liga, the eighth spot in the top pot was opened up to the champions of Holland, PSV Eindhoven.

We cannot play either of those sides nor the other domestic champions we are joined in Pot 1 by, namely Bayern Munich, Juventus, Benfica, Paris Saint-Germain and Zenit St Petersburg.

Rather get an easy draw now. We're going to be playing catch up in the league and getting out of the group stages in as straightforward a manner as possible is desirable. Besides, let's face it, with the squad as it is right now we're not going too far in the UCL anyway (not counting for ridiculous luck).

We'll get such a fucking tough draw this time round.

Some people must have a death wish or something if they want to get Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the group stage. Those ties can wait till the knockout stages.

I want Real Madrid

[Last Sicarius 610]

Play with RM will be so good above its Benitez there : D

Roma and Wolsburg and we can prove who is the best : D

I want a very tough group.

The group of death!

Chelsea

Real Madrid

Roma

Wolfsburg

Although like I said Wolfbsburg is now weaker without KDB but still an interesting team nonetheless.

Get us the tough match to see what we are all about and not have a PSG type of embarrassment like last season.

Hm...I didn't even notice that. How come they're allowed to participate? Maybe because Kazakhstan used to be part of the Soviet Union, not sure.
