Most of the groups are a foregone conclusion but I've gone for a couple of changes, can't see Arsenal going through considering the turmoil at the club at the moment, which could spell the end of Wenger's reign there.

A: Bayern Munich, Man City

B: Inter Milan, Lille

C: Man Utd, Benfica

D: Real Madrid, Ajax

E: Chelsea, Bayern Leverkusen

F: Marseille, Borussia Dortmund

G: Porto, Shakhtar Donesk

H: Barcelona, AC Milan

I like the Champions League to see which under dog shines.

Wish they wouldn't seed teams and just put everyone in the draw like the FA cup but hey ho TV rules

If they didn't seed the teams you'd see a final so unbalanced it wouldn't be worth watching unless you happen to follow one of the two teams playing in it. Who'd want to see Barcelona thump someone like Viktoria Plzen 7-0 in a Champion's League Final. There's no sport in that. The way it is structured now allows lesser teams who have done well domestically to get some experience in Europe, add the added finances being in the CL brings to each club will enable the lesser teams to build upon the previous year and make a Champion's League appearance a regular occurence.

I get your point and understand the logic, but it still means those lesser teams will only ever get to the first group stage and not beyond.

As a supporter of a league 2 team I would love them to get to an FA Cup final just once even if they got trounced in the end. They would have knocked out a few good teams on their way there.
