Champions League 2016/17 - Group E: CSKA Moscow, Bayer Leverkusen, Monaco

[Spurmac1974]

i'd love to get celtic, it would be a "cricket score"

Same old same old dismissing Celtic, how have the previous English teams got on against them?

 

[tommysvr]

PSG, Leverkusen, FC Salzburg.

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Definitely. I've been to Glasgow, nice place, but Celtic will be kicking us off the pitch and I would have to suffer Brendan Rodgers.

If we couldn't beat Celtic we should withdraw and ask to play in the Championship as that would be our level.

I'm sure Nott'm Forest and Leeds would have been difficult to play against in their day, but the current Celtic team are a poor shadow of their past european glory nights.

 

[Kandi1977]

What's the chances of us being at home for the first match?

Just look at our PL fixtures. Whenever we have a really though game in the PL, you can be sure the closest CL game will then be away.

Hopefully the manager and players see every game as a big one that we must win, that's how winners think. It doesn't matter who you play or in what order if your mentally strong.

Every game, must win.

PSG, Atletico Madrid, Spurs, Borussia Monchengladbach.

COYS

 

[Robbo]

When's the draw anyway?

 

[Pandy]

How come Leicester have a coefficient at all?

Some (or in this case, all) of a team's coefficient is derived from the ranking of their domestic league.

Surely NO ONE is disagreeing that Celtic are brick???!?

Celtic are brick, but they have a decent home record against bigger teams.
Don't underestimate the atmosphere at Celtic park either.

25% of Celtic's away points in the CL have come against Barcelona.

They went a long team without any away points if I remember right.
They are brick but they will runs their lungs out against a bigger side, even more so if it's an English one.

 

[Rorschach]

The CL money will help them a lot, domestically especially.
