Milan can actually finish first in that group. Also cheering for Newcastle to destroy PSG

Not smiling tbh. All are tough opponents that will be pain in the ass even though nothing glamorous.

Milan's group is maybe the hardest but Borussia Dortmund is just a name nowadays. In Newcastle & PSG we trust here yet not THE hardest opponents they could get. Hopefully Milan finish 3rd.

English clubs bar Newcastle in easy groups, nothing new here.

Same for Lazio.

Because you can't get Bayern or City when progressing out of the group if they were in the group. I'd rather get Benfica after the group than City
Good point, but not if we finish first in the group; and if it is quarter final it is quarter final

We played Salzburg in preseason already, no?

You can't give away your gameplan to your opponent in preseason if you play them when you still need to buy half of your team.

We need all Italian teams to go through or get third spot. We need all the points we can get for the league, because if we end top two leagues we get 5 spots for CL

That's quite an overstatement but I get what you mean. PSG are a bunch of idiots whom are known to neglect games. Milan will put in a real effort, and they have gotten better than last season (at least in paper), so it's gonna be interesting.

I'm not counting on any surprise from Dortmund or Newcastle though.

ZANETTI!
Hey all, I've never been to a champions league match. I happen to be in Portugal for the whole month of September though!

What would be the best way to purchase tickets? Is it even possible?

Excellent draw. 6 wins in a row please. In my opinion Napoli and Lazio will be qualified too ,Milan won't.

Yes, I don't think Milan will beat PSG and Arsenal. Maybe Newcastle, but Newcastle looks good too. 3rd or 4th for Milan.

Am I the only one who is concerned about this group?
We don't have Onana anymore, and it seems that all teams press and play attacking football. I don't believe that will be so easy.

...but in overall these groups are more or less predictable.
Go back to this in 3 months.

We probably can't get them either if we finish at the top of our group as we should.

Who in his right mind want to see 5 Italian teams in CL.

Well most of the time you don't play your groupmates until semifinals, so I rather have a big club in our group. Winning the leg after the group stage is good money for us. :)

Group C: Real Madrid, Napoli

Group D: Inter, Benfica

Group E: At. Madrid, Feynoord

Group F: PSG, Milan

Group G: ManCity, Leipzig

Group H: Barcelona, Porto
