Ahead of the Champions League group draw - Newcastle United fans reaction
The draw for the Champions League group stage is set to begin at 5 pm on Thursday.Manchester City, Sevilla, Barcelona, Napoli, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, FeyenoordAC Milan, Lazio, Red Star Belgrade, Shakhtar Donetsk, Copenhagen, PSV, Braga, SalzburgWe have asked some regular contributors to The Mag for their thoughts ahead of this Champions League group draw:Fantastic to be part of this. The greatest club football competition on the planet. We have arrived, ahead of schedule.
There’s a lot fires off this draw, as my crew is planning at least one big trip in the group. The identity of opponents and dates of the games obviously affects this, but also has a knock-on effect for plans at home. If there are going to be 3 midweek jaunts to Europe, it might be a hard sell to follow that up with weekends at Bournemouth and West Ham, unless I want a divorce for Christmas.
I also still don’t know how long it is between the group being drawn and the details being confirmed of the fixtures for who plays where and when. If anyone is able to advise in the comments below, much appreciated. Pot 2 is an absolute smorgasbord of appealing European destinations and I’m spoilt for choice. I love the thought of an autumn venture to Germany but my pick for this pot is Real Madrid.
To that effect two teams stand out. My choice would be FC Copenhagen, who represent a short and convenient jaunt and hold the lowest coefficient in the pot.Anyone wanting Milan or Lazio here is just after making life too complicated. This group will be an event but we want to progress, either to a magnificent knock out event or at least to the Europa League via third place.
Pot 3 – AC Milan. We’ve been singing about going to Italy and I’d be excited for a mackem spotting tour so surely one of the Milan teams are an essential.Today is the day it starts to feel real. Searching around as to how to watch the draw show feeling like a little kid!I’m torn with wanting ‘big’ teams to come to St.
