wtf is this draw? so confused

[Buzzo]

To be honest on the face of it that seems like a more entertaining set of fixtures than you typically get in the CL when it is dull as anything until the 1/4 finals.

I’ve just no idea how the league table plays out? Is it top 16 go into playoffs?

Real Madrid (home), Leipzig (away), Bayer Leverkusen (home), AC Milan (away), Lille (home), PSV (away), Bologna (home) and Girona (away).

Is that good or bad? I mean, it looks bad at face value, but it might actually be good?

Top 8 go through to the last 16.

Next 16 go into a play off round.

Bottom 12 go out. Or into an other competition or something.

So if you don’t finish top 8, you get even more games to get through!
