I want the easiest teams out of all pots. Sod “glamour” ties.

Save that for the knockouts.

Looking at that. Last season we had a win and draw against teams in Pot 1, 2 wins in Pot 2, and a win and draw (sort of) from Pot 3. The League phase looks a piece of piss, when does the last 16 knockout  start ?

So Leipzig, PSG,
Brugge, Shakhtar
Red Star, Young Boy
Slovan Bratislava and Sturm Graz

Assuming max two teams from any other country and no English opponents.

Most difficult draw:

Real Madrid, PSG, Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus, PSV, Sporting, Girona, Stuttgart

Easiest draw:

Inter, Leipzig, Club Brugge, Shakhtar Donetsk, Crvena Zvezda, Young Boys, Slovan Bratislava, Sturm Graz

Going by last season, I don't think Inter is the easiest draw. I think they will be harder than PSG. From what I have heard from experts, this Dortmund team will not be as good as last season, so potentially them as well (and they were poorer in their league than Europe, anyway). No sweat eitherway, like. We'll fuck them up.

Never has a 2 or 3 hour computer controlled borefest been so eagerly anticipated.
I can’t wait for 5 o’clock.
