Champions League draw details
Written by Max Munton on August 28th, 2008
The draw for the league stage of the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League will be made tonight in Monaco at 5pm BST.
After edging out Belgiums Standard Liege in the 3rd qualifying round, Liverpool find themselves in Pot One amongst the top seeds and fellow Premier League clubs Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.
As well as avoiding the other three English teams, Liverpool cannot be drawn in the same group as Barcelona, Lyon, Inter Milan or Real Madrid.
However, Pot Two holds some difficult opposition with the likes of Bayern Munich, PSV Eindhoven, Villarreal, Roma, Juventus and Porto in there.
The four pots are as follows:
Pot one
Manchester Utd
Chelsea
Liverpool
Barcelona
Arsenal
Lyon
Inter Milan
Real Madrid
Pot two
Bayern Munich
PSV Eindhoven
Villarreal
AS Roma
FC Porto
Werder Bremen
Sporting Lisbon
Juventus
Pot three
Marseille
Zenit St Petersburg
Steaua Bucharest
Panathinaikos
Bordeaux
Celtic
Basel
Fenerbahce
Pot four
Shakhtar Donetsk
Fiorentina
Atletico Madrid
Dynamo Kiev
CFR Cluj
Aalborg
Anorthosis Famagusta
Bate Borisov
How out of 2/3/4 who do you fancy?

|
I've never even heard of the bottom four teams!
|
|
|
Worst case scenario
liverpool
bayern munich
zenit st petersburg
atletico madrid
|
|
|
Would want out of them...
Villarreal or Sporting Lisbom
Bordeaux or Basel
Any apart from Atletico Madrid and Fiorentina.
|
|
|
What I would like.
PSV
Basel
Anorthosis Famagusta
|
|
|
Liverpool
Juventus (beat them already this season)
Steaua Bucharest
Anorthosis Famagusta
|
|

Quote: : Liverpool

Steaua Bucharest

I'm gonna' have a wild stab and predict:
Roma
Steaua Bucharest
Dynamo Kiev
However I'm not bothered by the draw in all honesty.
If we want to win the competition we've got 6 games to beat the 3 we're drawn with, if we're not good enough to qualify then we don't deserve to be in it.
Much rather we focus on the league this season.

Those first two pots are bloody strong either way.
Liverpool
Sporting Lisbon
Basel
Cluj

Teams that I would like to avoid...
Pot Two.
Avoid:
Bayern.
Roma
Villareal &
Juventus (for other reasons other than football)
Pot Three:
Avoid:
Zenit St Petersburg
Fenerbache (tough away game)
Celtic (crap, but tough away).
Pot Four:
Avoid:
Atletico Madrid
Fiorentina
Those two in pot 4 would be a nightmare considering the other teams in that pot...but we're more likely to get them since the other Italian and Spanish clubs cant.

Lazio.
Juventus would never have a friendly with us.
They hate us. Just hope we don't draw them.

So please calm down.
I can't see how any Liverpool fan would want to draw Juventus after what happened at Heysel.

I have the Liverpool vs Juve programme framed on my wall along with all the other Istanbul Programmes and my Istanbul Collage (tickets, Echo, photos, leaflets etc).
The programme has a red hand shaking a black and white hand.
It looks like the red hand is blood stained.
Bad design, did nothing to help.
