Celtic would be nice, maybe Porto, then Bayern just for some tension

[Ben. 57]

And if its 6pm CET, that's 2am Friday morning over here if i'm not wrong, eeep !

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We could realistically have a group consisting of Valencia, Juventus and Dortmund....

[edetarod 2,155]

anything besides clubs from Russia, Greece, Ukraine or Turkey

so exciting...

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Celtic!!!

[CFC86 13]

Bring on anyone, we aint ducking no one.

[Danelka 209]

Celtic would be nice, maybe Porto, then Bayern just for some tension

That would be hard to achieve as Porto and Bayern are in the same pot as Chelsea.

Anyway, I don't care who we get, we MUST advance as defending champions(such a good feeling to write it down ).

For Barca, I wish a City, Juventus, PSG/Dortmund(depending on seeding).

[Kezza 1,965]

Celtic, PSG or BVB

[gary gordon 1,777]

Hope we get to play Man City some time in the competition. Would love to knock those cunts out..

[Milan 17,854]

King Carlo's return? Would be special.

[Melanicus 5,208]

I want Slovenian club Maribor to qualify and than get my beloved Chelsea, so I can watch Blues here.

[Strike 7,217]

Benfica please. Just so that we can shut up their fans again!
