Its not unrealistic tbh, but its not unrealistic that Barca would get the exact same.

Exciting group tbh.

Whoever gets Bayern for MD6 has a leg up because Bayern will likely have clinched by then and take their feet off the gas pedal. Bonus if MD6 is at home. That's your best chance at points off Bayern.

(That's if either of us get Bayern MD6, that is. We could end up head-to-head for all I know.)

Inter and Barcelona could each win head-to-head, but then it comes down to who has the better win, differential-wise. If we beat Barcelona 2-1 at San Siro and lose 3-0 at Camp Nou, then the tiebreaker does us no good.

Compared to past barca teams, it surely isnt.

Alot of players will need to gell to make this Barca a liga contender, let alone a CL contender. Meanwhile Inter have changed little apart from making a big improvement in Lukaku over Dzekosaurus.

Its 50/50.

NO EXCUSES, just go and play. Playing against Bayern <3 always a good thing. Barcelona just got revitalized and Bayern is bossing, but we can do some damage if we do our best.

Im more worried about the tight schedule… I believe we can play up head to head with them, but we don’t have the depth they have.
This will definitely hurt us in the league.

In this regard, at least the travel isn't terrible. All three teams are between 495-772 km of Milano. If we'd drawn Haifa instead of Plzen, we're traveling over 3000km for that away game, which definitely wouldn't be nice.

Mane was shit last year half the season. I think Barca's attack is a lot better with Lewa.

Looks like we started the cycle with Barca again. We had Barca twice, then Real Madrid twice and now we are back with Barca. Safe to say they will be in our group next season too.

Guess you forgot last season MD6 for Bayern.

Until we are able to get the fuck outta pot 3 we will always have this shit luck.
People want out of the pot 3 and at the same time they don't want to play in EL. That's not gonna happen unless you are Scudetto winner every year.

You must collect points,CL or EL.

Its going to be very hard, but we can do this, i think our main battle is against barca, if we can get at least 4 pts from them i think will be fine..

Admittedly, I just said "best chance", not "sure-fire chance" :D. But that's a good point still that, yes, I was forgetting a bit about; Bayern love fucking Barcelona no matter what. It's something I actually very much appreciate about that club.
In your defense, Bayern did take their feet off the gas pedal. They were playing on safe mode. The problem for Barcelona was the difference in quality was so fucking big that it didn't make a difference.

I’d feel more confident against Barca if they didn’t have Lewa. He’s a beast. And they added Kounde in defense. The one area where we might be able to hurt them is out wide. I’m not impressed by their fullbacks.

On the one hand, great European nights in Bavaria and Barca do get me, slightly but surely, erect. On the other, we're fucked.
