Group A: Porto, Dynamo Kiev, Paris St Germain, Dinamo Zagreb

Group B: Arsenal, Schalke, Olympiakos, Montpellier

Group C: AC Milan, Zenit St Petersburg, Anderlecht, Malaga

Group D: Real Madrid, Manchester City, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund

Group E: Chelsea, Shakhtar Donetsk, Juventus, FC Nordsjaelland

Group F: Bayern Munich, Valencia, Lille, BATE Borisov

Group G: Barcelona, Benfica, Spartak Moscow, Celtic

Wow at Group D.

EDIT - I've highlighted my two to go through. Some curveballs but most of this looks set in stone.

Good group for Bayern.

How do they determine the groupings? Group D is stacked, but Group A is looking meager.

Hopefully once Dortmund gets knocked out in the 1st round again, Hummels and Götze request transfers to Bayern

Every team is classed in different pots(4 total. You could also classify them as seeds) and go by overall strength, so you won't see Real Madrid as the 4th pot and Barca as 2nd with Man City as 3rd. Each group has a 1 seed, 2 seed, 3 seed, and 4 seed. No two number 1 seeds or anything of that nature. Teams have their names listed inside of these balls that get pulled out randomly. Hope this made somewhat sense.

I was praying PSG/Juventus landed in that group D instead of Ajax, they were in the same pot. Still, Ajax aren't a bad team at all.

PSG would have been incredible.

Wasn't the last time the champs of Spain, Germany and England faced each other in a group, United won the treble?

Nimreitz · 08-31-2012, 02:13 AM

Lot of those United omens have not come true in the last 12 months.

**Porn Player** · 08-31-2012, 03:04 AM

What did Bayern win last year?

drifter69 · 09-04-2012, 05:41 AM

Zenit to win their group, AC not as strong and Zenit Signing Hulk.

**mvP to the Wee** · 09-18-2012, 07:44 PM

Anybody catch the action today? I was at work, had to follow on my phone. Looks like Real-City ended up a good one.

Nimreitz · 09-18-2012, 07:52 PM

City-Real was an awesome second half.

**mvP to the Wee** · 10-23-2012, 05:32 PM

Weak game from Bayern, but they get the 3 points.

Now hopefully Dortmund and Schalke win tomorrow.

Lots of scares for the big teams (and even some upsets) last night.
