Nice pairings. I think that 1,2 and 8 are relatively easy, 5 and 7 are harder, and 3, 6 and 4 are the toughest. Te strongest group in my opinion is group 4.

At my group 3, RNK Spalato will have a hard time I guess. Lost Keys United is favourite (I will not deny that), but LKS Granit Koczała® is amost as strong and Petrolul Fortuna is also close, so no guaranties to get to next round at all.

We will see what happens.

hmm its interesting indeed and it will be interesting to see how well all the teams still in it will improve over the season those with more youth will have a edge in this area:)

Hi, just one question you might already know (I didn't qualify for any international competition this season): is the third ranked team of the group going to qualify for the Europa League final rounds?

Thanks in advance :)

@Archibaldo: yes, the teams ending 3rd in the champions league groups will move to the europa league.

Great first round for Sporting Lisbon. We beat Split United with a fabulous 4-0.

How was your first round of the group stage?

Well, I started with two clear victories. That's a pleasant start. To early to draw conclusions from, besides the simple statistical ones: my changes to pass this round have improved. :)

there is only 1 group all teams has 3 points after 2 rounds.

First team in Round of 16 :)

Congratulations Maragator

Yes, congrats for Maragator, the plenty of "sleepy" friendlies worth it. :-)

jajaja thanks

Group 2 still very tight.. any team can make it to the next round or finish bottom!

Thankfully I have a home game and just need a draw against Pionier to make it through.

Ive found the Champions League very challenging & exciting this season so far!

Group 2 and group 3 are really close! It is gonna be some intense last games!

EDIT: group 2 and 6! not 2 and 3

I don't think group 3 is that intense. One ticket for the top 16 is already taken and for the other one Koczala is a clear favorite (although there might be a surprise). Group 2 is definitely intense. The most interesting game in my opinion will be in group 4. Two teams with maybe the best squads on the champions league in a direct battle for the top 16. One of them will be out of the competition.

Also the game between our two teams might be intense at least for my team.

Our game will be insanely intense!! And i am playing as the away team, not fun at all in the last deciding game

And group 4 is really intense! Hadn't seen that FC United Of Manchester should play ofer10!
