Bold are the champions (although bizarrely Genk finished second).

Couldn't have got much more difficult for City, or much easier for United.

Agree. Never ceases to amaze me, how do they do it.

Bizarrely, Utd have their usual easy group despite 3 of the 4 clubs in it actually being champions of their country while Citeh have the toughest group that contains zero champions.

I wonder if there will be a season when Real Madrid don't play Lyon? They draw each other every year.

could be tricky for Man City, although with the squad they have you would expect them to progress.

I think that Arsenal will do very well to get past Dortmund and Marseille.

Not sure about Marseille but I've seen Dortmund a few times this season and they look a good team, I hope they take Arsenal to the cleaners.

I couldn't care less about any of them to be honest.

Because they were seeded first? Most of the top seeds look like they will go through comfortably.

Interesting to see how hard some of Citeh's more posturing fans (Liam Gallagher, that's you) actually are when they come up against Napoli's Camorra-backed ultras.

And having been to Naples this summer I understand they are a pretty good side these days and a very intimidating place to visit. Forza Napoli, forza Cavani.
