lol@SPL, Rangers eliminated.
Third round of qualifying has come to an end with the champions playoff and league playoff teams finalised
FC Barcelona
Real Madrid
Valencia
Manchester United
Chelsea
Manchester City
AC Milan
Inter Milan
SSC Napoli
Borussia Dortmund
Bayer Leverkusen
OSC Lille
Olympique Marseille
Zenit St Petersburg
CSKA Moscow
Shakhtar Donetsk
Otelul Galati
FC Porto
Ajax Amsterdam
Fenerbahçe SK
Olympiacos
FC Basel
The draw for the group stage is schedule for August 25, 6pm CEST. The final is schedule for May 19, 2012 at the Allianz Arena in München.
I believe if both FC Bayern and Arsenal qualify they will both be seeded in pot 1 which will push AC Milan and Shakhtar in to pot 2, Zenit St Petersburg in to pot 3 and Manchester City in to pot 4, so tough groups ahead for one or two unlucky teams.
Any predictions? Early on it looks like Barca will be favourites to be the first team in the CL era to go back-to-back but that'll be extremely difficult. I'll tip Real Madrid to get their shit in order and win it all, unfortunately.
