Champions League 2010-2011 Groups

Today was the draw for the Group stage of the 2010-11 Champions League which will start in a couple of weeks, and look like this:

Group A:

• Inter Milan
  
• Tottenham Hotspur
  
• Werder Bremen
• FC Twente

Group B:

• Olympique Lyon
• Hapoel Tel Aviv
• Schalke 04
• Benfica

Group C:

• Manchester United
• Valencia CF
  
• Glasgow Rangers
• Bursaspor

Group D:

• FC Barcelona
• Panathinaikos
• FC Copenhagen
• Rubin Kazan

Group E:

• Bayern Munich
• AS Roma
• FC Basel
• CFR Cluj

Group F:

• Olympique Marseille
• Chelsea
• Spartak Moscow
• Zilina

Group G:

• Real Madrid
• AC Milan
• Auxerre
• Ajax Amsterdam

Group H:

• Arsenal
• SC Braga
• Partizan Belgrade
• Shakhtar Donetsk

Group G is looking very interesting, with a repeat of last year's encounters between Real Madrid and AC Milan (where Milan won in Madrid and tied in Milan), but also Drogba's return to Marseille in a Chelsea shirt will be interesting, as well as Bayern Munich's visit to Roma. On a personal basis I am delighted to see Valencia back against some teams they have had previous experience with, including Manchester United and Glasgow Rangers.
Some of the smaller teams and newcomers will be looking to set their mark: Braga is in a group where they should have chances, while Zilina is set to make another mark for Slovak football this season. For Danes, seeing mighty Barcelona come to Copenhagen will be interesting - but be sure that in spite of all my FCK friends, I will be cheering for the Catalans!
Exciting days coming up!
