2 teams from each pot plus ourselves,9 teams per group,8 games ie 4 home and 4 away,can't be drawn against a team from your own nation.
You check the BBC/Twitter etc once it's finished to save yourself the soul sucking boredom of watching the overly complex pageantry of ex-footballers playing with balls and bags.
I'll go one step further and wait til someone posts/explains it here, with Chaos proclaiming he told us all so.
Just stepping this up what are peoples dream/nightmare draws: Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Athletico Madrid, Napoli, Olympiacos, Galatasaray, Copenhagen. First 5 would be epic although probably very difficult to qualify from, 2 Turkish teams because they are mental stadiums but I'd only want to watch on TV, no way I'd risk my life going to Turkey, Copenhagen because I've got family out there.
Can't have teams from the same nation in groups ie Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Club Brugge, Bodo/Glimt, Olympiacos, Galatasaray, Copenhagen. Would fancy getting out of that group.
Ideal, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Club Brugge, Ajax, Napoli, Celtic, Copenhagen. All big or recognised names, never played them before and a couple of good trips for the fans.
Ahh I see I thought you couldn’t play someone from your nation and basically anyone could play anyone else, didn’t realise there were specific groups.
Four groups based on seeding/ European coefficient. Everyone plays once at home against one team per group and once away against one team per group. You won’t play the same team home and away. You won’t play against another team from your country. You won’t play more than two teams from the same country in your eight group games.
