Champions League 14/15

They are all paying the price for the two seasons or so ban the top teams received for the match fixing scandal. Germany was already catching them up as the 3rd country to get 4 CL spots but that absolutely hammered Italy.

Aye. Although tbh Germany taking the 3rd spot was coming anyway, like you say this just hastened it.

[REDSCOUSER]

for once we get an easy draw and we have beaten RM 3 times in previous meetings in Europe without conceding a goal.

we beat them 1-0 in the 81 final in Paris and 5-0 on Agg when Rafa was the manager.

[Frenchie]

We are their bogey team all right. Mexican commentary said as much too...

We've got a bit of history with Ancelotti too.

Basel beat Chelsea twice last season didn't they? No push overs.

Not sure why people are writing them off, they knocked us out a few years back and United more recently I believe? Added to doing the double against Chelsea.

[McDermotX]

Can't complain about that too much.

[ChesterDave]

Considering we would have only been drawn into A B or C, C was really the group we wanted. H would have been sweet but Citeh and Chavs already in that half so it was a no go.

I tihnk we will qualify but it will be tough

We won't be playing ****ehouse negative tactics against Basel. Our attacking football>Their attacking football.

Fair statement but if we cannot win over Basel and finish 2nd in the group then we really should not go thru.

With the exception of Group H our group was one of the easiest at least on the paper.

[Leyton388]

Good draw for us Imo. Made up we got Real as when we stuff them at anfield again. I'll be there.

[Pablo]

I'd like something like Barca, Basel, Liverpool, Ludogorets.

That way we have the massive European glamour ties back against Barca, but also have a decent chance to get out of the group.

Not a bad shout this. Well done Pablo lad
