We had a chance to finish first so we played him then. Now there's no chance for that so I expect more rotation.
Just avoid humiliating defeat, suspensions, and injuries is fine by me.

10 years of FIFI’d bet hard earned money on a Conte-led side bottling it on the last match day. Marseille away is a fiery atmosphere and they need to win too.

It looks like we need to hope Liverpool annihilates Napoli by at least 4 goals at Anfield to secure the group win as that will push odds for getting City as R16 opponent several percetage-points lower. The downside is Liverpool becomes an option for us then. They've had a poor season but they could be deadly in CL encounters.
Of course there are so many variables still but this is funny little game at this point. I consider Sporting the favourite to win the insane group D where every club has a chance to win it and 3/4 can end up dead last (Tottenham can end up 1-3). PSG-Benfica is pretty 50-50, maybe? Brugge-Porto is pretty open also.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFThat's from last year. Lille aren't even in it and Atletico and Juventus are out. We can't draw Bayern, and so forth.

10 years of FIFIt is but you can change the names and countries of the clubs so it's generally usable.

Most Diverse Posterto be totally honest, I don't care who we get, because I kinda expect our team to fuck it up anyway
I'm just glad we got out of the Group of Death, that's enough right now
any additional promotions through this seasons CL campaign is just an added bonus

I really hope Tottenham not to finish second in that group as it decreases the number of teams City can face.
On the other side, I prefer Porto to win the group than Club Brugge. Club Brugge have no limitations except their other group qualifier so they can match 7 teams. I don't think we're that lucky to be one of them. On the other hand, Porto can't be drawn against Benfica and Sporting (if they finish second, which likely will) so they're limited to 5 teams.

10 years of FIFI'm not even surprised at all. They are far from what they have been before a few years ago... now it's a complete different story, and I feel like Cholo has to move on and they need to try something else.

Marseille scored. Tottenham are in the Europa League with the current result.

Is this the first time Conte wins a CL group?
