What does everyone think about the draw? How blatantly obvious was it that Chelsea and Barca would be drawn together again? And guess who did the draw? Carlos Puyol, Barca captain. This is now the thirs successive year we've played Barca. In fact, in our four champions league campaigns, including 1999/2000, we've played Barcelona every time. 2-1 to them so far. This is also the third successive year we've played the reigning european champions in the group stage (Porto '04, Liverpool '05 and now Barca '06). cough fix cough. Werder bremen could be tough as well but Levski Sofia should be straight forward enough (please note: SHOULD be).
As for the other Brits, could have predicted Man Utd would draw Celtic as they drew Rangers at same stage a couple of years ago in what was also billed Battle of Britain. Should get thru but of course Benfica were the team that knocked out last year. Liverpool will face tough competition from PSV Eindhoven and they won't fancy a trip to Istanbul (having said that look what happened last time they went there). Arsenal's group looks straight forward enough.
Come on the Blues!!!
