Champions League Draw 2025/2026 - Thur 28th 5 PM GMT

I want Pafos FC away/home please. The city is close to my heart.

flobaba

Barcelona and PSG/Real Madrid for me. Want the highest profile games so we can make the most commercial revenue. Isn't that what this is all about?

USArsenal

OK, taking place now..

So far, we've been drawn at home v Bayern and away v. Inter

Klaus

Those are good draws. Both Bayern and Inter have reputations that they can't back up on the pitch currently.

USArsenal

So our full draw is:

Bayern Munich (home)
Inter (away)
Atletico Madrid (home)
Brugge (away)
Olympiacos (home)
Slavia Prague (away)
Kairat Almaty (home)
Athletic Club (away)

USArsenal Athletic Club (away)

Whaaaaat??!

Qwiss

USArsenal there are some very nice away trips there for the fans.

Segway

Bit boring (Olympiacos ffs) but very good draw overall.

USArsenal

RocktheCasbah

Hahaha yup!

USArsenal

Well, 5 of those are very winnable.. and Bayern & Atletico at home are both also winnable. Inter away will be our toughest game IMO (maybe Atletico also)

Klaus

I think it's a good mix of teams. We should come out top here. Knew we'd get Kairat of course.

USArsenal

Klaus

Yeah, well thankfully it's at home.. Lol.

Klaus

USArsenal Good point! I was so resigned I assumed it was away and didn't read properly.

Don Pacifico

Fun fact - if we'd ended up getting drawn against Pafos, it would have meant a reunion with our beloved former CB, David Luiz.

Sicario2

Don Pacifico instead he’s playing against one of his former clubs in Chelsea.

Good draw, last years was much harder in comparison. Spurs got the easiest draw I’ve ever seen the cunts.

Don Pacifico

Tougher than last year's draw. Not terrible but would have preferred to avoid the Spanish clubs. Toughest clubs we could have drawn from their respective pots.

USArsenal

Don Pacifico

Only slightly tougher perhaps. Thankfully we have Bayern and Atletico at home.

RocktheCasbah

Don Pacifico if we can beat Champions League Real Madrid in the Bernabeu, much as I have enduring affection for Athletic Club, I'm not sure I'd be too worried about them.

Atletico at home will be interesting, as much as to see how proficient in our so called "dark arts" we actually are when compared to the absolute, black belt, masters of the form. I still wonder at the injury time substitution they made against us in the Europa semi final. They absolutely killed the game without the referee even noticing. Amazing work. 👏

Inter Milan away again in the group stage is pretty boring, it was always the risk with you format that some of the big fixture just become too routine.

It will be nice to beat Bayern for once though.

flobaba

Eh I wanted glamour ties. These are all sorta grindy ties. Whatevs. On to the 2nd round.

USArsenal

flobaba

Im ok waiting for the real glam ties until the knockouts. I'd rather just qualify in the top 8 so we don't have extra games.

QuincyAbeyie

flobaba last time we faced Bayern we were knocked out and, if we're being honest, the second tie was pretty hopeless. Come to think of it, every time we face Bayern were knocked out. Let's show Harry Kane where he belongs.

RocktheCasbah

USArsenal I guess at least we have the squad for it now - although you obviously run the risk of running into an underperforming big hitter.

USArsenal

RocktheCasbah

Honestly, this season i feel like we are one of the big hitters. I dont think teams will want to face us.
