Liverpool gets to go with Spartak and Sevilla. Usually that would be a blessing, but then again it's Liverpool...

Let's see if Man United has improved since 2011-2012. They were in group with Benfica and Basel that season too - but ended up third.

So a pretty boring first set of games, no?

They just alternate A-B-A-B and so if Barca had been drawn first it would have been other way around.

Hmm okay, that makes (a bit) more sense. Too many rules just to satisfy the TVs though. They were also saying that they'll determine the order of the games based on if a club is able to host during winter? Would be funnier to have a yolo draw, no rules. Especially seeing the level discrepancies between groups right now x)

The winter teams thing just means that they try to have the far eastern teams try to play two home games before summer time ends, less early kickoffs that way. THat part ends next year anyway when there is a 2nd kickoff time.

e: Pande will not be happy with this draw at all xD

Not the greatest group, it could've been worse I guess.

not really any teams likely to embarrass you, but also a pretty tough group to get 3rd in.

No obvious group of death. Maybe A,E and G a bit weaker than the others.

@sneirac your groups are wrong. In group D it should be Olympiakos Pireus instead of Roma

Tottenham is going to have rough time. PL schedule is already tough and now they have to worry about the group stage too. I wouldn't be too surprised if they experience early defeat on the league cup at least.

Liverpool ridiculously lucky. From my limited knowledge it looks like pretty much the worst teams from bracket 1 2 and 4. Sevilla is good of course, but bracket 2 didn't have any weak teams. Group G looks like the most evenly matched one.

This is also the first time in forever that City doesn't have an outrageously difficult group right?
