AWFUL first half from Ajax. Need a goal to keep CL hopes alive but look completely lifeless.
They completely dominated the first leg and look like absolute shit tonight... still without a good chance despite 65/35 possession lead.Fucking hell Ajax
Could get a group of CSKA, Porto, Brugge, and any insert pot 4 team outside of Besiktas or Monaco. That would be an awful group.
Monchengladbach in with Man City and Barcelona? Ouch. German teams not looking so hot in this right now.
Add Celtic. Damn it UEFA these groups suck.
Add Celtic. Damn it UEFA these groups suck.
Group A: Paris, Arsenal, Basel, Ludogorets
Group B: Benfica, Napoli, Dynamo Kyiv, Besiktas
Group C: Barcelona, Manchester City, Moenchengladbach, Celtic
Group D: Bayern, Atletico, PSV, Rostov
Group E: CSKA Moskva, Leverkusen, Tottenham, Monaco
Group F: Real Madrid, Dortmund, Sporting CP, Legia
Group G: Leicester, Porto, Brugge, Kobenhavn
Group H: Juventus, Sevilla, Lyon, Dinamo Zagreb
I really doubt Monchengladbach advances over City. Unless City somehow manage to fuck it up against Celtic. Monchengladbach really aren't great shakes.
Could have four Americans in the competition this year, though only FabJo is likely to make a significant impact. CCV, Pulisic, and Julian Green probably make some match day rosters but will only start if their clubs fate is already sealed.
Only other time I think this happened was 2012 - Gooch, Yones, Sacha, and... trivia answer, Michael Parkhurst on some Danish club @DanishDonut0

Dats some underrated shade being thrown right there.I would guess FC Nordsjælland since I think that's around they were in Chelsea and Juve's group. They played well in a few games but they might be the shittiest team to reach the group stages. And I can't really remember the last times FCK has been in. And even though they're not european superstars they usually have solid CBs so I would guess Parkhurst wasn't in the mix.
Group F could either be really easy for Rapid or really hard. You never know which Athletic is going to show up and Sassuolo is a pretty good team.
Ajax could easily miss out on the group stages- Celta were good last season, but I don't know much about Standard or Pana.
