Champions League: Draw in the live ticker - FC Bayern threatens hammer group
Update from October 1st, 10:12 am:
The day of truth has come!
Today the groups for the upcoming Champions League season will be drawn.
The
Bayern
* could make it pretty hard - for example, a group would be
Manchester City
,
Inter Milan
and Erdogan Club
Basaksehir Istanbul
possible.
It could also be uncomfortable
for
Borussia Dortmund
(Pot 2),
RB Leipzig
(Pot 3) and
Borussia Mönchengladbach
(Pot 4).
With a little luck, however, there can also be feasible tasks - in pot 1, for example, you will also find teams like
Zenit St. Petersburg
or
FC Porto
.
