Can't argue with our group at all! Not easy but certainly better than Celtic's...

Decent group / draw. No stand-out ties but happy with that group.

After 5 minutes of research, we've got a group group.

 

Benfica will be very hard, harder than Porto last season I think. The lost the league to Porto but they sold a centre back for 65 odd million and brought in 7-8 players with that money.

 

Lech Poznan finished 3 points behind Legia, bizarrely with the exact same goals scored and goals conceded. They have been good in Europe this season though. To my surprise, Standard Liege actually finished 5th in the Belgian League last season, nowhere near 1st but only 6 points from 2nd. Poznan put out Charleroi who finished 5 points ahead of Standard Liege.

 

So Benfica will be very hard but I make us clear favourites for the other two.

Haha, Pot 1 has given them no advantage at all. Loving it.

Just hearing that if we beat Benfica we get to put Portugal on our mantlepiece.
