Leicester City seem to have the easiest group. I wonder how far they'll be able to get. Group C is probably the toughest, but so is Group D.

Celtic the giant killers to beat Barcelona and Manchester City

The prize for being Champions - you're a number one seed, and means you avoid Barca, Juve, Bayern, PSG at least .. but even then Very nice draw and could go through with Porto ..

Madrid to be the first team to ever retain the UCL?

I see Chelsea have their usual Chelsea are not the only team with a bye into the second round, Man U were also given a direct ticket into the knockout phase.

highly doubt it

I think a lot of people are underestimating Club Brugge and Copenhagen but yes lets hope Leicester, City, Tottenham and Arsenal make it to the last 16 - else Italy are going to take that 4th spot from England...

England has 6 teams, 4 in CL and 2 in Europa
Italy has 6 teams, 2 in CL and 4 in Europa

So lets just hope United can make it to the semi or the finals of the Europa and City/Arse or someone makes it to the semis/finals of the CL

no need to worry about that anymore the top 4 leagues will each have 4 automatic places

So Leicester 3-0 in there first Champions League game. When I saw the score for a brief moment I thought, what if....?

Imagine that, wouldn't that be something.

I see that Leicester maintained their winning start to the CL campaign.
This sets them up nicely to go through, hopefully they can get first place.
Will be interesting to see them in the knockout phases.

 

[fishfly]

Leicester win the CL and get relegated from the EPL

 

[SinghDude]

They will be exhausted come weekend.

Another win for Leicester in the Champs League. One more and they'll be through to the knock out. Start placing your bets people.
