They're another Red Bull team, I assume he's mixed them up with Leipzig, who play away to Atlético Madrid tomorrow.
i think we can do Max Verstappen no problem.

Inter are a lovely side on the ball and just as good without it.

Bologna dont look that great. Thats one of the games we need to be aiming to win

It would be quite a surprise if they did look any good really - their manager was the reason they did so well last season, they've lost him, their best striker and defender have both been sold and their best midfielder and captain is out injured for the rest of the year.

Out of all the teams they are one of the least i know about. Them and monaco. Hopefully we will have too much for them at home

Can’t name many Bologna players, but Lewis Ferguson had a great season there last year, scored plenty and is the captain.

The manager sounds like someone from Pro Evolution before they got the naming rights! Or Harry Enfield and chums.

I think we'll beat both Bologna and Brugge and qualify with that, Bayern is our only tricky tie I'd say. We could be as good as through by the time Juventus rock up and that should be a cracker. We are dynamite away from home atm and this should see us over the line with a game to spare the way we are going. UTV

I like this new format and great looking at the early table already.

Yeah i have to agree. I was sceptical at first but i like it. What i like is no one gets a advantage in group stage as you play 2 teams in each pot one home and one away.

It certainly helps teams like us over the old format

Same here, it means you've more of an interest in all the games rather than just your own group.

It's an awful format . I'm only interested because we are involved . The tournament only gets good as a neutral from QF onwards .

Obviously good for us playing them but it's a pity to hear that about Bologna as a fellow relatively unfashionable club getting into modern version of CL for first time.

Watching the highlights tonight, I'm surprised to see how open so many teams are. Makes me feel weirdly confident
