Champions League 25/26: Dortmund, PSG, Villarreal, Frankfurt, Slavia, Bodø/Glimt, Copenhagen, Monaco

[Glenda's Legs]

So in terms of away travel, we know the Frankfurt and Bodo cut-offs last season were 271 and 512 respectively (GA ST allocations in the region of 2,330 and 323 (assuming the same 80/20 split GA v Corporate/Player/Sponsors as the PL)).
Monaco allocation should be around 2,397 (@80% for GA STs = 1,917) and Monaco 926 (740 for GA STs).

That's quite a tough run of fixtures. Some good names and teams in there. We are going to have to really play at our best to get a good points return.

That's a good draw on balance though.
Check out the goons opponents etc

That's why the notion of the Super League killing football and that the beauty of the CL is that Aldershot Town could win it was all cobblers.

The SL was just more up front about what it was doing.

It’s always the Spanish pushing this.

Any ideas when the actual match days will be announced?

I'll do Paris away, not fussed with the others (done Bodo last season)

Would have preferred the home matches as away fixtures tbh

 

[tw12yid]

Not a bad draw imo. Missed the two long journeys in Qarabag and Kairat. PSG away is tough but means we get the more winnable Dortmund game at home. Arguable two of the weaker pot 2 teams as well. Can’t grumble.

 

[parklane1]

Pretty decent draw imo.

 

[Baleforce]

will be nice to smash Bodo again

and Dortmund

and PSG

The champs league draw is actually quite intriguing. Your head is saying that we need the easiest 8 games so we can proceed into the next phase. You heart is hoping for the Nou Camp or San Siro and a chance to play against Europe's elite teams.

I think this is the season where we need to play our best team at the weekend in the league. We need to enjoy the CL but not make it the priority.

only thing that matters is to qualify for it next season too

Frankfurt and Bodø -- at least we're facing two Conference League level teams.

...that was the reason we beat them last season, right?

Although it's a bit boring to play the same teams, I guess there's an advantage in having the muscle memory and knowledge of what to expect when traveling to Bodo and Frankfurt.

Don't care about boring , we just need to get in the top 8 of the league phase so we get 2nd leg at home in last 16, sod giving exotic trips for away fans to places they haven't been to before.
