At least Legia will get in the record books.... as the side that Ronaldo scored the most goals by a single player in a match in history.

Group C is nasty. There are some pretty good match ups across the groups. Looking forward to playing Atletico early, lets see what Bayern is made of

Like the draws for the Italian teams.

Will be interesting to see the Europa League draw tomorrow as well.

Speaking of Europa League draw, that's kinda what Groups B and G look like, Europa League groups.

I don't really see group C as nasty at all. One great team one good team. It's a pretty decent balance across the groups overall. Spurs seem to have the easiest group.

Maybe I rate Gladbach higher than most but I can see them causing some troubles for City, though City should still advance. Nasty is probably a gross overstatement on my part but at first glance I think it is the toughest group

Edit:I do agree with you Nik that the balance across the board is fairly equal this year

Ill be shocked if Dinamo even gets a draw. What an insane group. On the plus side, City should advance handily as everyone else should be decimated by Barca.

edit: Kyiv has no excuses... that should be a very doable group for them

Pretty happy - DK has a good shot and LFC probably got the softest draw of all, though I may be underestimating Brugge.

Watch them beat Juve by 2, but then get pummeled by everyone else haha.

Tuff group for sure.

Bayern opens their season this year, playing very direct and a beautiful half volley strike from 25 yards out from Alonso opens up the scoring!

Bremen has been dreadful and their keeper Wiedwald is the only reason Bayern doesn't have 5 or 6, he has been fantastic

In comparison to the Euro squad, Milner, Bertrand, Barkley, Wilshere and Rashford are out. Michail Antonio is in for the first time, while Shaw, Walcott, Drinkwater and Jagielka are back in. No idea how Walcott makes it over Barkley, but oh well.
