UEFA Champions League 2015/16

[Lineker]

Astana of Kazakhstan drawn into Group C. Stok must be happy.

Fingers crossed for Wolfsburg being drawn into Group A for probably the most exciting group.

Nope, Malmo.

[Kyle]

This does not end well for Malmo.

[Lineker]

This does not end well for Malmo.

Could have been Celtic, @Kaney!

And Stok is off to the Holy Land!

Dinamo Zagreb in with Bayern/Arsenal/Olympiakos.

[unitedツ]

Looks like it's Wolfsburg.

[Kyle]

Either City or United are off to Wolfsburg. Ouch.

[Lineker]

Wolfsburg in Group B alongside PSV/Man Utd/CSKA Moscow. De Bruyne derby successfully avoided.

Meaning that Gladbach complete the Juventus/Man City/Sevilla group. Another tricky draw.

[Kyle]

Final groups:

 

Group A:  Paris St-Germain, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Malmo

Group B:  PSV Eindhoven, Man United, CSKA Moskva, Wolfsburg

Group C:  Benfica, Atletico, Galatasaray, Astana

Group D:  Juventus, Man City, Sevilla, Monchengladbach

Group E:  Barcelona, Leverkusen, Roma, BATE

Group F:  Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Olympiacos, Dinamo Zagreb

Group G:  Chelsea, Porto, Dynamo Kyiv, M. Tel Aviv

Group H:  Zenit Saint Petersburg, Valencia, Lyon, Gent

[Cheeky Hughes]

Could be worse, but it'll be tricky to top the group above Juve.

[The Lusophone]

Meh draw. Good to get PSV but both they and Wolfsburg will test us home and away. CSKA shouldn't be a problem except a visit to Russia in the middle of winter ain't great...

[Baddar]

Yeah, not too bad.

No idea why we couldn't be paired with sides like Gent or Zagreb when they came out, but meh. Should be able to qualify from that group.

Didn't CSKA prove tricky for City last year?

It didn't help that we were shit that night...

[Lineker]

Also the ref screwed them over.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Also true but I didn't want to go for the obvious.

[Kaney]

What a draw that would have been for Celtic :( Sick of German teams for Arsenal as well. Hughes thinks he has it bad with Barca? What's it been, four years running now we've had Bayern or Dortmund?

[MDK]

Poor Malmo :'(

[stokeriño]

Tel Aviv! Not that I'll be going, but it makes me think back with a bizarre kind of nostalgia to the debacle of our UEFA Cup trip to Tel Aviv years ago.

Distance PL clubs will travel during CL group stage (miles)

Chelsea: 9,184

Arsenal: 5,894

Manchester United: 5,452

Manchester City: 4,842

Hmm...nuts. 

[Lineker]

Joel Kitamikre.

[Baddar]

Almost double the mileage but I'd still rather have Chelsea's group, besides, it ain't like these players are travelling economy. 

[stokeriño]

TBH, knowing us it will be the league games that follow the home ties that we fuck up, rather than those following the long away trips.
