Champions League Group Stage

Filed in archive Champions League on August 24, 2006

The men in suits have drawn the Champions League groups. Using the very latest technology (balls in plastic pots). Here's what they came up with...

Group A: Barcelona, Chelsea, Werder Bremen, Levski Sofia.

Group B: Internazionale, Bayern Munich, Sporting Lisbon, Spartak Moscow.

Group C: Liverpool, PSV Eindhoven, Bordeaux, Galatasaray.

Group D: Valencia, Roma, Olympiakos, Shakhtar Donetsk.

Group E: Real Madrid, Lyon, Steaua Bucharest, Dynamo Kiev.

Group F: Manchester United, Celtic, Benfica, FC Copenhagen.

Group G: Arsenal, Porto, CSKA Moscow, FC Hamburg.

Group H: AC Milan, Lille, AEK Athens, Anderlecht.

So, AC Milan's luck holds, the Chelsea vs Barcelona soap opera continues, at least one newspaper will use the headline "Battle Of Britain" for the Manchester United and Celtic game and default Italian champions Inter will face Bayern Munich.

First games to be played 12th/13th September.
