      Everyone is confused. It's why they have to use a super computer to make the draw.

      @LeftHook4__ 16 дней назад

      So I guess groups will in 3s and each team has to play 2 teams from each POT and the 8 teams with the most points earn a spot at R16s. So it’s basically a rumble from the start and all the teams will play top teams starting in October instead of waiting to play another big team around February during the knock outs.

    What bollox.
    The only thing that has changed is a machine makes up the numbers, instead of a plastic ball with a name in it and the fact that there are more Clubs in the thing.
    It is still geared towards the top Clubs with the less so, also-rans.
    At the end of the day we are still going to end up with the same old same old Clubs from the Quarter Final onward.
    What they should have done is change the name of the Competition, as it is full of anything but Champions and yes, including my Club that finished an unprecedented 3rd and yet are still in Pot 1, while Leverkusen, who won the Bundesliga, not losing one single game, sit in Pot 2.
    I would also love to know why they could not have had ALL Clubs from the same League put in together?!
    Why does Liverpool, who finished 3rd, deserve to be in Pot 1, while Arsenal, who finished 2nd, go into Pot 2?!!!
    Why could we not have Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa thrown in the same hat, with the chance of meeting each other?!!!!
    Total garbage.
    Lets face it, we can all sit here, come up with the Semi-Final, providing they do not meet and say who is going to win it, so really the same old same old boring shite.
