UEFA Champions League 2024/2025

Then you see what Bayern got and they can win all 8 of their games lol

 

[DiegoMilito22]

So, only the first 2 will go directly to the next round?

That's not how it works. All 36 teams play in the same league with different fixtures. Each team plays 8 games and at the end 24 teams will advance to the knockout stage based on their points.

 

[.h.]

1-8 directly to r16
9-16 knock off 1v1 to see which 8 make up the r16 round
17-32 go out

It's fairly generous in some ways, some of our recent years we would have had the second shot at making knock out

 

[Cittadino]

Not ideal, but we've had worse draws.

 

[junior55]

I am not understanding this draw at all.
So after Pot1 is drawn there is no point to see the draw anymore if you are a fan of pot1 teams

They really need to rethink it

 

[DiegoMilito22]

PSG got the worst draw in pot 1

 

[brehme1989]

as long as the City or Leverkusen game isn't in the first two matchdays, I'm confident of having a great campaign at this stage.

Give me Sparta Prague or Young Boys away first, then Monaco or Arsenal at home.

9-16 knock off 1v1 to see which 8 make up the r16 round
17-32 go out

9-24
25-32 go out

It pushes do or die in every matches, creating dopamine to finish 1-8 for resting in extra round

 

[brehme1989]

Arsenal has two trips in Italy, against us and Atalanta. Let's hope we both give them a spanking.


What I do like about this setup is that you're invested in pretty much all fixtures the same.

So I can say fuck PL teams and it'll have an impact as they're rivaling us for a qualification spot

 

[eminter25391]

Not too bad draw actually, with this new format 2 matches vs Pot 1 teams are always tough, and matches against Pot 2 teams are tricky as well.

 

[brehme1989]

Club Brugge fans must be really excited here

 

[brakbrak]

Do we know when the schedule is out? I'd rather we play Arsenal and City last

So, even if we lose to City and Arsenal for instance, but win everything else, we'll have a good chance to be amongst the first teams, especially if some of the other favorites fuck up somewhere.

 

[brehme1989]

Milan on paper has an easier fixture line than us

 

[pupivn]

Milan has relatively easy path

 

[Jnr]

Ok now Ive seen Milan draw. That looks more promising than ours.

 

[Pravesh]

I think our opponents are not that bad, as opposed to what worse we could have got with our luck - on paper.

We already got Man City, so I dont mind that game to be an Away one. It meant that the other Pot 1 team Leipzig game would be at Home.

 

[SiamoNoi]

Milan! Perfect. Dinamo is going to beat them in Zagreb.

 

[SiamoNoi]

Nah, the grouping is not that bad.
Depends a lot on timing of games.

Manchester City away
Leipzig at home
Arsenal at home
Leverkusen away (they're Pot 2 despite being champions... didn't see that part)
Red Star at home
Young Boys away
Monaco at home
Sparta Prague away

You need ~12 points to reach the top 24 and probably something close to 19-20 points to secure a top 8 spot.

Win all home games (4x3), win at least the two "easy" games away and get 1 point vs Leverkusen or City and you're most likely a top 8 squad.

This is awesome group. In every possible way. We must go for top 8.

Saturday.
