Champions League - PSG

[Risso]

Has anyone asked when the draw is yet?

If not, when is the draw?

Back end of August.

We will be entering this for the third time. There have been a couple of changes since we last played in the competiton back in 1983.
Firstly they rebranded it with an inappropriate name, many of the teams (ourselves included) are not champions in their domestic league.
In fairness, from next season it is being played more in a league format.

There will be 36 teams in a single league table instead of traditional group stages. Each team will play eight matches against eight different opponents, with four home ties and four away. The top eight sides will qualify automatically for the knockout phase, while the teams that finish ninth to 24th will play in a two-legged play-off to decide who reaches the knockouts.

Key dates.

Thankyou both!

I absolutely can't wait for the draw. The new format looks excellent, and keeps it interesting hopefully right up to the end.

Yep same
I’m still pinching myself every time I think we’re actually in it

Stading on regent street right now waiting for the ladies to finish in Holister. If I was Madrid or Dortmund I would enjoy it rather more. But I have that we've won it feeling all the same.

Why, are their Hollister shops nicer?!

Maybe the £-€ rate is favourable at the moment?

All the previous years when i just tutted at the sky coverage as if it was a world summit as i could not give a flying f*ck what was going on - now i am the same i will make a nice lunch and a drink and spend the day watching it in anticipation.

I think they get added to the AVFC calendar automatically but only after the draw I think.

Hand it over,
Hand it over,
Hand it ovvvver, Real Madrid.

I can dream can't I?

[TopDeck113]

I think making it to the preliminary knock-out stage should be the minimum target.  If we progress any further, then that will be a successful first ECL campaign.   I just hope that we're not going into January with nothing but pride to play for.

... and it must be ... and it is ..

We always get to the quarters at least, and win it 50% of the time we're in it.
