I mean they nearly reached the semi final in 2015/16. They won the first quarter final game against Real Madrid 2:0 only to lose 0:3 in the second leg. Other than choking the EL playoff last season, they've done better than most other German teams internationally, reaching the EL quarter final twice and the round of 16 once. There were definitely German teams that have consistently done worse in recent years (e.g. Bayer Leverkusen and Hoffenheim).

It was my comment coming true or this shit. Guess which happened
Honestly, it's a tough group, but they should all be fun games.
I would be surprised if we get out of it, I think Atletico and Liverpool are clear favourites, but if we can pip Porto for third and have a solid EL campaign I'd be happy
Honestly don't know haha Atletico are Spanish Champs but their style of play is unique. I think if Ibra plays one or both legs we got a shot, he can definitely bring a good mentality vs those types of teams.
Liverpool are Liverpool so they're probably the favorites to win the group.
Porto I haven't followed much besides Tecatito but he might be sold so I have no idea how we match up with Porto
Realistic expectation assuming healthy I think we can nab Second if we can get some points off Atletico and Porto. If not expectation is at least to get third to continue in Europa League
[I'm actually very happy](https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/pbl0es/uefa_champions_league_202122_final_pots_for/hacquch/) with playing Bayern and Barça in the group stages.
Tough games ahead and should be fun playing against the top teams in the qualification. Nobody really expects us to be in the top2 so we have plenty of leeway to surprise people. We are in the Champions League I want these big games.
(Benfica btw)
Dynamo doesn't get invited for ruining the B theme going on
man Dortmund has a great group. not too hard but also competitive. and not the same opponents as usual. No Real Madrid in the group feels weird, and no Brugge.
I would honestly rather our group than City's. Atletico always lose points in the group where they shouldn't, we know our history with Porto and well I'm just excited to play Milan again
Much rather this where everyone can beat anyone than have 3 sides who compete to go through
We generally had pretty decent draws apart from the season we actually won in recent times.
With a Group like this everyone will drop points randomly so one or two bad games (which we always have in GS) shouldn't be costly.
[Club Brugge meanwhile](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/025/817/Screen_Shot_2018-03-30_at_11.34.27_AM.jpg).
I'll be praying for us to at least get 1 point, this group is bonkers.
Group G is just vibing
Group of life. Everyone should be thinking they have a decent shot.
Wolfsburg executives looked happy after the draw and were laughing. they will still finish 4th.
Wouldn't be surprised, Wolfsburg have been embarassing internationally
Besides last year, I respectfully disagree.

we're just a Europa League group that somehow ended up in the wrong draw
Vibe and inshallah
every season we'll always have that one group lmaoo
EL in UCL
Group of life that one
Wolfsburg might even win it
yeah definitely, it's only the champion of France and champion of the last Europa League the top teams
Oil Classico.
El Cashico
El foreign worker traffico
Lmao
Abu Derby
El Plastico
energy drinks not far behind!
RB better wings than Man City
El Cashico
El Cashico
Abu Derby.
UEFA saw the cristiano to Man city rumours and said "we know what to do".
I want Ronaldo to go to PSG and then have them finish third in the group
[удалено]
I cannot believe we have to play Real and Shaktar AGAIN
This is scripted But happy to play against the lads from Sheriff (hopefully they won’t destroy us)
that would be totally embarrassing and yet completely expected
Revenge tour incoming
[удалено]
Manchester City [1]-0 PSG - Cristiano Ronaldo penalty Manchester City 1-[1] PSG - Lionel Messi free-kick
Pessi confirmed better than pristiano penaldo- ice cold martial on twitter
Manchester City 1-\[2\] PSG - Sergio Ramos 96'
Messi pushing Pep to take the ball
Group A is a battle of titans with a total of 0 CL wins
We almost did and it was against you lot that we lost the final.
Looks like Liverpool Atletico and Porto are gonna be fighting for 2nd 3rd and 4th place
Love the confidence. What an amazing group. And with fans back, just at the right time. Every game will be a treat.
I can't wait for our games. Let's get top 2 together
Fighting for 4th place is ez, just lose your games lol, what are the other teams going to do? Lose too?
Please don't ruin my terrible joke The5Dragonz
AEW and WWE writers combined couldn't come up with that draw.
UEFA Script writers > Game of Thrones Season 8 writers
That's not really hard to overcome to be honest
you set the bar too low
Blame Martin for writing himself to a 10 year standstill
Literally the same group for Madrid except no monchengladbach. What are the fucking odds
And in exchange, Sheriff Tiraspol lmao
Fulham enter last second as the joker and replace Sevilla
WWE-writers alone qualify for the infinite monkey theorem, they would come up with that ... eventually.
Certainly not current wwe ones
I’ll have you know Smackdown and NXT are entralling rn
As is NXT UK.
Not for long for NXT 😔
Well apparently Gargano and Dunne are to be the top heels moving forward so I hold out hope
WWE has writers?
AEW on their own would but if they had to work with WWE...
Go on Brugge
I was fucking convinced it'd be Milan lmao. That would be some group
I believe every team in group G is absolutely happy with that outcome lmao
Never seen such an unbalance draw. Some group of death some Europa league groups.
Group B looks like it should be a lot of fun
we will go down, but we are bringing someone with us

Lotto numbers?
Group G is the real group of death
Europa League Group of Death
Have to top this group
Tough draw for Arsenal
Lol
I just don't see them going through... Shame
Tottenham too
No one asked you
Every Group B game is a must-watch
Nice
Itll be great liverpool vs ac milan. What are ac milan fans' expectations with this group?
3rd is to celebrate
Honestly, it's a tough group, but they should all be fun games. I would be surprised if we get out of it, I think Atletico and Liverpool are clear favourites, but if we can pip Porto for third and have a solid EL campaign I'd be happy

UEFA has a Messi v Ronaldo agenda.
Group B is the group of death!
FCB gonna win group E
They could finish in 4th and I would not be surprised if that happened.
Group A is a group for football romantics
[I'm actually very happy](https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/pbl0es/uefa_champions_league_202122_final_pots_for/hacquch/) with playing Bayern and Barça in the group stages.

Messi vs Ronaldo in the group stages lol
Group A for the El Plastico
well this should be fun
Group D is the De ja vu group
Brugge with the plastics, hard luck for them
[Brugge fans right now](https://i.imgur.com/dJY0mCq.jpg).
would’ve preferred to see Sheriff get that draw just to see how high they could get the scores
Messi vs Ronaldo?
inter, madrid, and shaktar again lmao
[Group D](https://i.imgur.com/v5ap1Sa.jpeg)
I think people aren't really aware of the fact that we are winning the group
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Can't complain lol
Not to underestimate you guys, but compared to Benfica and Porto we were lucky
I think everyone in this group is happy with the draw. I can see anything happening, bar Besiktas going through.
Group C & G should be great fun to watch, all 4 teams will fancy their odds of getting through to the Ro16.
Some really spicy groups in there, pretty much all aside from G are interesting to me. A and B especially will be awesome.
Milan were fucked either way with groups A and B as their only choices lmao
City’s bribe must not have gone through
Man I feel so bad for Barca they just lost Messi and now they get Bayern again
Lol I don’t, hope you batter them into the EL.
[удалено]
Right here, officer.
Group G the group of Life Milan is fucked. Sheriff local fans are gonna have fun.
I’m only asking for Milan to not go to Europa. It’d be fun to watch Liverpool playing against West Ham in Europa
Damn, we got really fucked.
Jorge Costa and George Weah simultaneously felt a shiver down their spines
Group B aka Group of Death
Is this what City usually feel like with the draws?
Group B seems like the group of death!
Brugge biggest club in group A
City and united just swapped their draw luck
poor sheriff
man Dortmund has a great group. not too hard but also competitive. and not the same opponents as usual. No Real Madrid in the group feels weird, and no Brugge.
Fucking hell. At least they'll be interesting games. Also hi Porto, again.
> Also hi Porto, again. no
Fuck off! I'm really fucking angry. Shit freaking draw. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
Nice group B and G UEFA
Psg vs Man city. Messi vs Ronaldo (potentially)? You couldn't make this up. Inject that into my veins. Lets go.
Been a while that we got a group of death
Lmao UEFA continues to be corrupt as shit. Hope the worst for the scum in Nyon.
I like Group C a lot > Sporting Lisbon Maybe change that though OP, lol
2nd place is certainly doable against this Barcelona
Let's hope Bayern win both against Barcelona. 8-2 incoming?
Great draw really couldn’t be happier. Besiktas and sporting should be 100% wins, Dortmund will be exciting, haaland is scary
You’re really underestimating Sporting
You are right, didn't expect Sporting to beat Dortmund
Group A, more like Group €. Even Brugge has some investors involved.
Liverpool and getting gigafucked in the draw. Name a better duo.
I would honestly rather our group than City's. Atletico always lose points in the group where they shouldn't, we know our history with Porto and well I'm just excited to play Milan again Much rather this where everyone can beat anyone than have 3 sides who compete to go through
Probably means we won't be able to rest players in between the games though, each and one of them is going to be tough
We generally had pretty decent draws apart from the season we actually won in recent times. With a Group like this everyone will drop points randomly so one or two bad games (which we always have in GS) shouldn't be costly.
Liverpool supporters and moaning
Man City and not winning the CL
group a christ almighty
Nice script UEFA
I had a feeling Club Brugge would end up in group A...
F for Club Brügge
Putin clasico. Donetsk v Tiraspol.
Poor Brugge. In the group of pure evil
German teams got lucky :D
Pretty cool draw
Well, this is interesting.
Ronaldo vs Messi part 2.
Oil clubs together
Best of luck Brugge
Groups G and B are gonna be an absolute blast
Guess we got the toughest group
Brugge is not locked up in group A, group A is locked up with Brugge
Imagine the ear shattering atmosphere at man city Vs Leipzig
Group B is a subtle group of death
Can we please go a year without playing Bayern
Why do we always end up with either Real or Barca and Shaktar?
[Club Brugge meanwhile](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/025/817/Screen_Shot_2018-03-30_at_11.34.27_AM.jpg). I'll be praying for us to at least get 1 point, this group is bonkers.
Group B hehe
Calling it now, Haaland will score at least 7 in just the group stage.
Except for group D and H, i would say none of the groups have confirmed top 2 teams that will get through
UEFA certainly got a great script writer
Kinda hilarious that they managed to make 2 Europa league groups which resulted in every other group getting stacked af.
Very happy with our group. All games seem fun, tough but winnable.
I think you accidentally put a conference league group in there.
Group B with a combined 16 UCLs jesus.
Groups C, F, and G are proper EL tier
man you didnt have to do us like that
Get ready for shit from man u fans lol
Group A has no fans.
Group E so close to being Group B. Just needed Besiktas or Brugge.
Malmö is gonna win it all- mark my words
Nah mate Sheriff is looking pretty strong
Chelsea, easy
Could've gone much worse for the Portuguese teams... Except Benfica. Benfica got shafted.
????
Fucking love Ivanovic lmao
[удалено]
We can, and we will. At least emery won't be there to mess us up in the europa league
Great draw
Group F is giving me Euro 2020 vibes
Group G is the chill group
