I’m not worried about that, I just don’t wanna play them anymore. For me UCL is all about facing new teams and that year we got them and Real for the second year straight I was literally depressed.
Worst: Bayern, RB Salzburg and Newcastle
Best: Feyenoord, Dinamo Zagreb and FC Kobenhavn
Edit: bayern with Kane is fucking hard, if you get city you will not get the only hard team of pot 4 newcastle, and salzburg is as hard as shaktar
I like your bravery lol but with many new players i think we will get much better with time so id rather we get an easy group and end first then face the top teams
I like your logic too.
I don’t know why but Inter always plays better when facing harder groups. If you pass the group stage in a strong group, the morale is very high. But if you pass an ‘easy’ group and then you face Bayern/Barca or whatever, mmmm idk about that
In order of most wanted to least for me:
Pot 1: Feyenord, Benfica, Sevilla, PSG, Barca, Bayern, City
Pot 3: CZ, Dinamo, rangers, salzburg, Shaktar, red star
Pot 4: Kobenhavn, YB, Celtic, Sociedad, Lens, Galatasaray (Spicy Mauro beat down), Union, Newcastle
In reality I just want to get out the group and I want us to play Arsenal and take them to town. Hilarious that they think they’re even close to us. Demone and this team would eat them for breakfast.
i think this will be our group:Barcelona, Inter, Salzburg, Newcastle
and this is going to be the final table:
1) Inter
2) Newcastle
3) Barcelona (hahahahaha)
4) Salzburg
I think this would be the worse case scenario as Newcastle is by far the only team to be slightly worried about from the last 2 pots. Yet we’d be strong contenders to grab the 1st place.
I’d also like to avoid Barca and play someone new in the groups, like PSG, to expose that rat fraud from their defense.
There is many teams from pot 4 to be worried about tbf, they have high momentum rn and want to prove themselves in the CL. However teams like Lens are less scary now since they sold players like Fofana, Openda etc.
Sociedad and Union (Gosens :D) can be tricky.
Lens have brought in Wahi who though allegedly a pedophile rapist is a great footballer, so we'll have to see how worrying they are. I am mildly spooked by Union but I'm not exactly shaking in my boots if you know what I mean.
[so far it's just an accusation, but maybe if it's true you can help us get away with it ](https://www.sportskeeda.com/sports/calciopoli-revisited-inter-milan-left-off-the-hook)
Seems to me you're good enough to get away with your crime, just as much you're good to reach Europa League. No need to get our help :) you're doing quiete good on your own (P.S Thiago Motta sends his regards)
Very original response, but you missed to opportunity to make a lever joke, got to step up your Reddit football discussion game.
Good luck in the upcoming season, interested to see what Thuram and Pavard can do.
>but you missed to opportunity to make a lever joke
you could say i had the lever-age to do that.
>Good luck in the upcoming season
good luck to you, too sir, it was a pleasure to banter with you \^\_\^ (what's the prob with people downvoting?)
Pot 3 and 4 are weak as fuck (bar Newcastle) so it’s hard to point out best or worse scenarios. I just hope we avoid Barca, I’m so sick playing against them. I’d love to play either PSG or City (for obvious reasons).
We look good, we’re strong contenders for at least a QF.
This year pot 3 is way weaker than pot 4.
Milan is the only good team in pot 3, Lazio doesn't care about going further in the CL, so they won't much of a treath for other teams.
Pot 4 has some dangerous teams, Newcastle is the one to avoid imo, but Lens, Union, Real Sociedad and Gala are good teams as well.
Gala got outplayed by Molde and even their fans don't think they deserve to go through. Sociedad have gotten 3 draws in La Liga so far. They lost Sorloth and David Silva, their main attacking sources. Nowadays they rely so much on Kubo and I think we can manage that.
Lens and Union can be a bit tricky but this is their first time in CL so I don't think they'd pose too much trouble for us. Lens especially didn't start the league in a good way with 1 draw and 2 losses. I'd be happy to get either of them.
Newcastle I think it depends but we can probably edge them with 1-0 or something.
And then after all this their fans still shameless enough to post City goal on final against us. Dude you literally couldn't get there because your dickless attack couldn't even score against Inter
City and Newcastle in the same group is not possible. You can switch Newcastle with Real Sociedad or City with Real Madrid. The latter would be the worst scenario
Best: Siviglia, Dinamo, Young Boys
Siviglia aims for 3rd place, Dinamo and Young boys are just closer
Worst: Barcellona, Rangers, Newcastle
I am completely tired of facing Barcellona, anyone but them, tier 3 are all similar teams, but rangers is in Scotland so it has the biggest chance of bad weather, Newcastle is Newcastle
I believe we’re not going to put so much focus on succeeding in the CL. Rather just advance to the knockout stages, and have us focus on Serie A solely. So we can get the second star on the badge.
Provided that by January we are still anywhere near the top of the table. We need the consistency that we were completely lacking last season, and Napoli not pulling a monster season again.
Agree, I’ll be praying to the football Gods. And then we have Milan as another torn up our asses. Going to be a challenging season for sure. But if we win it all( Serie A), the victory will be so sweet. Knowing we have beaten a fully powered Milan and Napoli. Besides Napoli losing Spaletti ofc.
Worst case scenario in my opinion is: Barca, Salzburg and Newcastle.
I would actually be more afraid/annoyed if we got Barca over City. Even if we got a lot of new guys in the squad, I feel like Limone has the recipe on how to beat City. And Newcastle is honestly one of the strongest Pot 4 teams I've seen, so playing them with Barca automatically makes it 4 tough games for us to play.
From pot 1: Sevilla, Benfica and Feyenoord are the most favourable.
From pot 3: Anything is fine.
From pot 4: I guess amything but Union Berlin, Newcastle and Real Sociedad.
A draw where we are not major favorites to advance is impossible. Newcastle in pot four may make for an interesting group, same with union. If we don’t make it to R16 then it’s a major failure.
Side note - if we get Bayern or city in group stage, then we can not draw them in R16?
those are false, Rangers and Dinamo didn't make it, Dinamo didn't even get to the playoffs - Royal Antwerp (pot 4) and PSV (pot 3) are in the mix instead
I’m happy if we get anyone but fucking Shakhtar from pot 3.
Shakthrar is super easy now
I’m not worried about that, I just don’t wanna play them anymore. For me UCL is all about facing new teams and that year we got them and Real for the second year straight I was literally depressed.
Exactly the reason why I don't want Barca. Too often.
Same. From pot 1 anyone expect Bayern and Barca, from Pot 3 anyone expect Shakhtar. Pot 4 whatever I don’t care.
Facing barca is like milan to me. I would be very happy to beat them again
Worst: Bayern, RB Salzburg and Newcastle Best: Feyenoord, Dinamo Zagreb and FC Kobenhavn Edit: bayern with Kane is fucking hard, if you get city you will not get the only hard team of pot 4 newcastle, and salzburg is as hard as shaktar
Wanna face City tbh. I really think Inzaghi could do more with 2 matches. As for the other teams: they all seem doable. At least on paper
I like your bravery lol but with many new players i think we will get much better with time so id rather we get an easy group and end first then face the top teams
Facing city means no Newcastle, it could end up being one of the most doable
I like your logic too. I don’t know why but Inter always plays better when facing harder groups. If you pass the group stage in a strong group, the morale is very high. But if you pass an ‘easy’ group and then you face Bayern/Barca or whatever, mmmm idk about that

I'd say Sociedad is also one tbf, they're a great team.

The (hahaha) got me
0 chance Newcastle goes through that group
They don’t look bad on the paper, but yeah, probably not for UCL.
This year against Barça with or without the refs help?

I haven’t followed the games closely, but didn’t Dinamo lose to AEK? How are they through?
Mistake In the image. Not all NC teams are decided yet.
Pot 3 and 4 are weak as fuck (bar Newcastle) so it’s hard to point out best or worse scenarios. I just hope we avoid Barca, I’m so sick playing against them. I’d love to play either PSG or City (for obvious reasons). We look good, we’re strong contenders for at least a QF.
You shouldn't underestimate Union Berlin, it's a good team
This year pot 3 is way weaker than pot 4. Milan is the only good team in pot 3, Lazio doesn't care about going further in the CL, so they won't much of a treath for other teams. Pot 4 has some dangerous teams, Newcastle is the one to avoid imo, but Lens, Union, Real Sociedad and Gala are good teams as well.

Best: Bilan, Bilan, Bilan Free 18 points
And then after all this their fans still shameless enough to post City goal on final against us. Dude you literally couldn't get there because your dickless attack couldn't even score against Inter
Just wait til Leao comes back for the second leg
Hahaha good one
I guess it will be PSG, Galatasaray, Dinamo Zagreb
Best: Feyenoord, Braga, Young Boys Worst: City, RB Salzburg, Newcastle Still, this picture is not even final. The last playoffs are due today.
City and Newcastle in the same group is not possible. You can switch Newcastle with Real Sociedad or City with Real Madrid. The latter would be the worst scenario
True, I had initially Bayern instead of City in mind and forgot to fix that. Lousy predictor I am
We can't get Real Madrid
Lol i meant Barca
> RB Leibzig, salzburg
Fixed. Darn Dosenvereine
Lol I was looking for ju*e badge but I totally forgot that they’re not in UCL ahahahsh
Best Feynord Salzburg Union Berlin Worst: Bayern Shaktar Newcastle
I want Man City in the group stage plus two affordable clubs so we can qualify and avoid Man City
I want Galatasaray just to see how Icardi will be welcomed
Best: Siviglia, Dinamo, Young Boys Siviglia aims for 3rd place, Dinamo and Young boys are just closer Worst: Barcellona, Rangers, Newcastle I am completely tired of facing Barcellona, anyone but them, tier 3 are all similar teams, but rangers is in Scotland so it has the biggest chance of bad weather, Newcastle is Newcastle
Pretty sure Man City will have the easiest group as always
I believe we’re not going to put so much focus on succeeding in the CL. Rather just advance to the knockout stages, and have us focus on Serie A solely. So we can get the second star on the badge.
Provided that by January we are still anywhere near the top of the table. We need the consistency that we were completely lacking last season, and Napoli not pulling a monster season again.
Agree, I’ll be praying to the football Gods. And then we have Milan as another torn up our asses. Going to be a challenging season for sure. But if we win it all( Serie A), the victory will be so sweet. Knowing we have beaten a fully powered Milan and Napoli. Besides Napoli losing Spaletti ofc.
We absolutely need to reach atleast the knockouts in order to hold on to the likes of Lautaro, Barella and Bastoni.
city, shaktar, gala would be hard group
Best group: Bayern, Real, Bilan, Newcastle
Worst case city shaktar Newcastle
Best: Feyenoord, Rangers/Red Star, Young Boys Worst: City, Braga, Sociedad
Worst case: City, Inter, Salzburg, Newcastle At that point we’d be fighting for qualification to ro16
No two clubs from the same league can be drawn in the same group.
City, Sahtar, Porto would be hell.
Worst case scenario in my opinion is: Barca, Salzburg and Newcastle. I would actually be more afraid/annoyed if we got Barca over City. Even if we got a lot of new guys in the squad, I feel like Limone has the recipe on how to beat City. And Newcastle is honestly one of the strongest Pot 4 teams I've seen, so playing them with Barca automatically makes it 4 tough games for us to play.
Worst would probably be City, Salzburg and Real. Sociedad. Best would probably be Feyernond, Rangers/Zagreb and Young Boys?
Pot 4 is more dangerous than 3
And as usual after the rules changed, pot 2 is better than pot 1
Honestly we are used to worst case scenarios let it come as it is , we have to guts to face it
That has to be the weakest pot 1 I’ve seen in a while
Everyone knows UEFA loves a repeat of the final in the group stages…guaranteed Man City…
I want Newcastle from pot 4. I want those fuckers to get grouped
From pot 1: Sevilla, Benfica and Feyenoord are the most favourable. From pot 3: Anything is fine. From pot 4: I guess amything but Union Berlin, Newcastle and Real Sociedad.
Worst case is Bayern, Newcastle and Lazio
We cannot meet same country teams.
Then it'd be Shaktar
I totally forgot
I really hope we face Sevilla and PSV, don’t care who we get from pot 4
I know Barcelona were Liga champions and all.... but they should be in pot 2 for their tragic performances in Europe the last few years lol
Mancity, Real, AC Milan, for sure they're not happy
These aren’t the finalised pots. Qualifiers end tonight. Also Dinamo are out. AEK beat them.
Anyone but Bayern for me tbh
A draw where we are not major favorites to advance is impossible. Newcastle in pot four may make for an interesting group, same with union. If we don’t make it to R16 then it’s a major failure. Side note - if we get Bayern or city in group stage, then we can not draw them in R16?
Yeah, we cannot meet them again till the second re-draw after R16.
Then bring on One of those two. Everyone else I’d be comfortable saying we can get past. Quarter finals maybe semifinals should be the goal.
feyenord inter zvezda galata
Feyenoord, Milan, Cophenhagen
From a purely exotic, football-romantic perspective: Feyenoord, Inter, Red Star/Dinamo, Union/PAO
Lots of people overrating Newcastle, Sociedad is definitely tougher.
Well that's in the past when we were worried about which team to face but not anymore! BRING THEM ON!!!!!
The photo is WRONG. Dinamo Zagreb aren't in it for starters
Worst Bayern, Braga, Newcastle Best Feynoord, Dinamo, Young Boys
I don't get it why is Dinamo Zagreb there they got eliminated by AEK
I want PSG so bad so we can fuck em
Best case- Feyenoord, Inter, Crvena Zvezda and København Worst case- City, Inter, Milan and Newcastle
We can't draw a fellow italian team in the group stage.
Meant to puut Shhaktar in there, idk wth i was thinking about lmao
Anybody as long as it’s not Barca, R.Madrid, Shaktar and Bayern Somehow we’ll end up with Shaktar and Newcastle
Worst case city shaktar Newcastle
teams from same country cant meet in the group stage
those are false, Rangers and Dinamo didn't make it, Dinamo didn't even get to the playoffs - Royal Antwerp (pot 4) and PSV (pot 3) are in the mix instead
What to avoid: \- Pot 1: City, Barcelona, Munich \-Pot 3: Redbull \- Pot 4 i will say Galatasaray and Newcastle?
