Ha ha ha. Chelsea draw Barcelona!

But that guarantees that Chelsea and Barcelona can't meet until the Quarterfinals (at least).

But I can't imagine that either Chelsea or Barcelona are happy about the draw.

And the big loser for this year: Levski Sofia

Good luck trying to get through against Barca, Chelsea, and Werder Bremen.

Wow! Milan go from being banned in Europe to getting a bye to the next round.

And Ronaldinho a deserving footballer of the year.

I don't know jack about most of these teams, how is Arsenal's draw?

[Ortho]

Arsenal have a good draw imo. They'll have tough away games in Moscow and at Porto, but I think their draw is as good as they could've possibly expected. Liverpool have an excellent draw, as do AC Milan, as already pointed out.

[theTourne]

Yeah. I think Arsenal's draw is second best behind AC Milan.

It depends, drawing CSKA and Porto looks pretty good but both teams can pull off surprises (CSKA won the UEFA cup a couple of years ago and Porto won the Champions League, although with Mourinho and few world class players who have been transfered).

Thoughts on whether it's better to get three weak teams or two weak and one strong team in the group?
