Not happy with the draw for the german teams. Same old ****. Bayern with almost the exact same group - but at least the match against Roma should be nice. Dortmund and Arsenal feels like seen before thousand times, Schalke and Chelsea met last year, too. Highlights should be Barca vs PSG, Atletico vs Juventus and Real vs Liverpool.
Roma City and Bayern. WOW. i knew roma where gonna be drawn with bayern, especially cuz of the benatia deal.
Is it me or does it seem like Chelsea always get a UEFA Cup draw in the group stages in the UEFA CL? Cake walk for them. OTOH, City are always in the group of death. Partly, unlucky and partly because until they advance further they will always be in pot 3 and chances of drawing two good team from pot 1 and pot 2 remain high.
All in all, Real Madrid made a mess of this transfer window. Lost their best goalie and got a backup goalie to backup last season's backup. Lost two of their most IMPORTANT players in Di Maria and Xabi. Haven't picked up a striker and really don't have one on the team since Benzema plays like a false nine. And James Rodriguez can't show how good he is in this system. On the bright side, Kroos is awesome and Falcao looks to be on his way. But to make fun of Barcelona a little, Bayern got Benatia and spent less than Barcelona on two has-beens. And I would have liked to see Xabi go back to Liverpool if he really wanted to wear red again.
If Mangala and Jovetic step up their game to the next level City will be dangerous this season. Mangala has soo much potential but makes some bonehead plays hopefully he learns from Kompany. I like Jovetic a lot too, him and Aguero will wreck havoc...can't wait to see these guys play Bayern.
Barca has an easy group. Man City should make it through this time. Bayern should finish first or second.
Xabi to Bayern official. Also, Falco to Real official. 20mil one year loan with an 45mil buying option after the season. Madrid is disgusting, buying success by spending billions over the years.
