Champions League 2026/27-now with added Super Cup

[cdbearsfan]

Draw for the Play-Off Round, the final round before we enter the competition in the League Phase, is on Monday.

Are they still blocking pot draws against teams from the same association? If so and with three English and three Spainish teams in pot 1, the odds are we will get at least one Spainish side.

Why would it only be a slim chance of a Spanish side?

[Somniloquism]

I realised my mistake as soon as I posted but it took 4 mins for the modify to change. I was thinking the odds are most English clubs would draw the spainish clubs and though it would mean less chance of us drawing a Spainish one, then forgot it was a different pot so didn't matter.

Barcelona or Real Madrid at home would be great

[ADVILLAFAN]

We've played Barcelona loads. Real Madrid please.

[rougegorge]

Although nobody would remember playing Barcelona unless they are well over 45 

[Brend'Watkins]

Yes

We've played Barcelona loads. Real Madrid please.

Yes.  Don't think we've ever played them competitively.

[Mellin]

I'd be happy with any of Inter, Barca, Madrid or Atletico at home.

We've already beaten the other five of them at Villa Park in the last 18 months or so. Gets dull after a while.

Saw some of the Super Cup highlights at Villa Park from 1983, so good enough.

Be nice to finally play the biggest team in the World though.
