With the dust barely settled on Chelsea's historic win in Munich, the pots for the Champions League seeding are nearly confirmed:

Pot 1
Chelsea, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, FC Porto, AC Milan

Pot 2
Valencia, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St. Petersburg, Schalke 04, Manchester City, Braga*, Dinamo Kiev*

Pot 3
Olympiakos, Ajax, Basel*, Panathinikos*, Anderlecht*, Juventus, Spartak Msc*, Copenhagen*,

Pot 4
Paris SG, Galatasaray, Celtic*, Dortmund, BATE*, Salzburg*, Montpellier, Nordsjælland,

Teams with * have to go through qualification. Any teams not shown above (Fenerbahce, Udinese, Lille, Malaga, Gladbach, Din. Zagreb, Partizan) still have to qualify and will almost certainly be in pot 4 if they make it, there is a slim chance Fener could make pot 3 but it would require a lot of upsets in the playoff round. If a * team is eliminated, one from the pot below will take it's place - e.g. Braga dont make it, Olympiakos go to pot 2.

Potential group of death:

Real Madrid
Man City
Juventus
Dortmund

Potential group of "life"

Porto
Olympiacos (assuming Braga or Kiev are eliminated so they get up to pot 2)
Basel
Nordsjælland
 
I just wish Juve and Arsenal don't draw eachother. :P
 
Hope this group for Montpellier and I hope they'll finish at least at the 3rd place so they play Europa League :)

Montpellier
Juventus
Manchester City
Real Madrid

And also teams from same Pot can't be in the same group (BATE - Montpellier - Nordsjaelland) :p

I hope we go to the Pot 2 and get this group:
FC Porto
Olympiakos
Basel
Nordsjaelland or Dortmund (we owe them for last year) or BATE or Salzburg (if they make it)

If we end up in the Pot 3 then:
FC Porto
Dynamo Kiev
Olympiakos
Same as above
 
I would like;

Arsenal
Benfica
Ajax
Celtic

That would be a good group to have not the easiest and should have some good games, but ultimately Arsenal get through....hopefully :DD
 
I'd rather we had a hard group so we don't end up playing like we did last year and getting knocked out.

Fergie underestimated the teams we played.
 
How did Manchester City make it into pot 2 so quick?

And some scary groups can happen. Juve is pot 3 and Dortmund in 4. PSG with Ancelotti and some big signings this summer.

I am also was very surprised. But you can look at it another way, today, these guys gave their country such holiday, which she has never happened before. Well done guys! The next Dudelange's opponent is the Slovenian Maribor, who defeated in two matches Bosnian club Željezničar. Chances against the Slovenes they have little, but if they play as well as against Salzburg, we will can see the first Luxembourg's club for at least the group stage of the Europa League. I hope that so it will happen. :D

Indeed, but they will can directly get into the group stage of Europa League, if they will lose in the playoff of qualifying round of the Champions League. It is smaller, but at least something.
