I am a little wary.

Celtic: A few years ago we had them in the groups. Drew away, scored 2 late goals to win at home. Last year we needed extra time to beat them - We don't have that luxury this time round.

Benfica: We won't win in Portugal, we should win at home.

Shakhtar: Eastern European teams are historically good at home, I'd be happy with a draw away and a win at home.

We should all be happy with qualifying, it's a very tough group.

God, Seedorf, Ricky and Ricky... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

well done to Cech too! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


I agree. Celtic at Glascow will be the most difficult game for us in my view...

I think we won't go through easily because that's usually they way it is when we play low-profile teams but we will do it comfortably...

Let's go! Road to Moscow begins... Forza Ragazzi!!!!!!!!!! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think you are exaggerating a little. The other 3 will be fighting for the second spot.

Well. Interesting draw. Chelsea-Valencia and MU-Roma in the same respective groups this go round. I'd imagine that some folks (ROMA?) will be thinking about payback this go round.

At a quick glance, I'd say that Milan got a relatively easy draw. The away Shakhtar tie will be difficult (anyone know if they play on artificial turf?) as will the game at Parkhead. Much as I adore Benfica, they're playing like shite this year after having sold off so many players and fired their coach. I think a win at Luz is possible. (And given the $500 RT flights to Lisbon, I may try to get there for the game).

It's a harder group than last year, and I felt we struggled. I think we'll go through, don't get over-confident. You know what happens when we do!

Group A: Liverpool - Porto - Marseilla - Besiktas (Liverpool would breeze through here)

Group B: Chelsea - Valencia - Schalke - Rosenborg (Valencia and Chelsea (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) , but Schalke are no push overs either, so ..)

Group C: Real Madrid - Werder Bremen - Lazio - Olympiakos (Very tricky group ..)

Group D: AC Milan - Benfica - Celtic - Shakhtar Donetsk. (Milan wont have a problem with topping this group (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif) )

Group E: Barcelona - Lyon - Stuttgart - Rangers (Easily Barca and Lyon respectively, they are the most experienced of the bunch)

Group F: Manchester United - Roma - Sporting Lisbon - Dynamo Kiev. ( I know Roma are already grinning !!! They want their revenge (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) FORZA ROMA - I believe United and Roma will go through )

Group G: Inter Milan - PSV - CSKA Moscow - Fenerbahce. (Inter has the quality to see it's way through this group, followed by PSV or CSKA)

Group H: Arsenal - Sevilla/AEK - Steaua Bucharest - Slavia Prague. (Do I need to comment, first place is reserved for the French, ey Porty (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

It was normal turf when Olympiacos played there last season (I think)...

By the way, did Platini look stoned or is it just me? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

ahahah he did walk a bit slow (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

by the way can anyone get the video for the awards ?

Yes, it's harder than last year but last year Milan was in different situation too.

It is a normal turf.

I don't think it's tougher but whatever... everything will be proved on the green!

Holders Milan face former champions at uefa.com

Champions League starts again! Oh, how much I adore those CL nights... there's nothing better than eating your pizza and drinking your beer(s) watching your team on those starry nights! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
