Good draw for Wolves. Espanyol having terrible season in La Liga.
Nice trip to Barca tooWolves got lucky there
No prizes for guessing who that will be.Dortmund-PSG (too much quality)
Real Madrid-Man City (unless city can fix that defence and get Aguero back in form)
Atalanta-Valencia (on current form but can go either way)
Atletico-Liverpool (Scousers peaked too early and club championship likely ruins their rhythm)
Chelsea-Bayern (inexperience will be costly)
Lyon-Juventus (old lady should find it easy)
Tottenham-Leipzig (no pressure means good spurs performance)
Napoli-Barca (any chance was kicked out along with Ancelotti)
Lucky team that gets Atalanta/Valencia next round, most likely gets to semi.
I'd say there's a good chance they're bad in the league (relatively) because of motivation, while in the CL they look as motivated as ever.Bayern have been bad this season. Chelsea on the other hand will play fearlessly and on the counter, which will trouble Bayern's slow defense.
Mount, Pulisic and Abraham will cause a lot of trouble. If this were Bayern of two years ago or before then I would be confident of them winning, but not at this time.

Unfortunately for us English teams are entering a period of dominance with all the money and talent in the league. We need to catch back up to the pack asap.English teams are pretty much the strongest teams in the competition. The familiarity breeds a sense of mediocrity.
Indeed.They can't be too fond of us considering we lifted the Champions League at their expense on their patch.
Didnt they knock Arsenal out the CL a few years back?Olympiacos - Arsenal
Liverpool ? Come on now.No prizes for guessing who that will be.
Think that'll be close to impossible, plus you'd need to have a ST or something similar as from before a certain date. I remember a few mates of me wanted to get tickets to the CL group stage and even that didn't work (while it did last season).Brugge, by far the best team in Belgium, doesn't say too much. Will try to get tickets.
No. They won 3-2 at the Emirates and had to avoid a defeat by 2 or more goals at home to go through, but they lost 3-0 so Arsenal went through.Didnt they knock Arsenal out the CL a few years back?
No, they won at Emirates but lost in their home stadium in Athens. I think that was the last time the played, 4 years ago, in a group including either Juve or Atletico Madrid.Didnt they knock Arsenal out the CL a few years back?
