We should really go through as group winners, we saw last year how important that can be!

Worst scenario:

FCB
Bayern Munich / (AS Roma)
Olympicque Marseille / Zenit
(Fiorentina)

Best Scenario:

anything else

Howeverer, I agree with djoef that it would be nice to cross paths with Juve. We need at least one serious opponent in first group stage so we can maintain our level. Bayern would also be appropriate but since they exclude Roma that would mean possibly encountering Fiorentina from 4th group which wouldn't be so nice. For the group stage, 1 strong opponent and 2 less strong opponents just for maintaining form. I also rate Zenit as very difficult opposition - they have strong team, winners of UEFA cup and trip to Russia is never comfortable for European clubs, especially Mediterranean.

In any case, let the balls decide :)

Those ratings, by the way, prove that we have been the only Spanish club that has mattered in European football over the last five years. If Milan would have qualified (or if Bayern would have played Cl last season), Madrid would have been in the second pot...

barca nike said...

I think Barca should get a strong group so Barca could show that they are the best.

omg if i was an FC Bate i would have felt really depressed :P

Fair group for the Blaugrana, there shouldn't be any problems topping that group

I'd like to see Madrid get knocked out of the group stage...

Brambo said...

Official group after drawing:
FCB
Sporting Lissabon
Fc Basel
Shatar Donetsk

I really think we are very lucky with this group. IRealistically it should be easy for Barça to win this one. Great! Venga Barça!

Àlex said...

guys! Is it just me or the Barca side this year is a bit shaky, with many unexperienced elements! I really hope Messi, Xavi and Eto'o don't get any knocks
