KDB looks ecstatic at winning the award.
It's a TV thing, we are a bigger commercial attraction than Man City still. It's why Barcelona and Real Madrid can't be in the same side of the draw, and Bayern/Dortmund etc.
It's going to go against us more often than not as we will always have to be on a different day to Liverpool and City, so unless we were drawn in the same side as Chelsea (or whichever other English team first) we have a high chance of being fecked.

We haven't played Ajax competitively since 1956.
Thats crazy unfair... I can understand a national split but putting viewers above teams chances in the competition is horrid. You guys got screwed.
Anyone know why we could not get Porto and City got them?
I think that's it but it's so stupid. Do they really think a single United fan will choose to watch Liverpool's game after/before ours? and frankly, given COVID, they could play on the same night: one earlly, one later
so basically we are way bigger than City hence we need the tougher draw?
fair enough I guess, price to buy of being a european giant...

Interview with Kevin was so cringy
First time I heard about tv pairings. Thats beyond stupid.
I am sick of this draw. City with a super easy draw and us with the nightmare.
Just because a stupid law.

It's about the neutrals though. Obviously Liverpool and United get the most viewers (whether or not they support either team). Having both teams on the same night means you'll split that viewership.
In fairness the first 2 pairings are always in there every season, how often in the last 10 years have either United or Liverpool missed out. You guys got screwed.
Olympiacos or Krasnodar please.
Borat is trending on twitter. Thought maybe it was because they were comparing the host's voice to Borat but apparently it's another movie
wow that's a crazy stat.
I can't think of any other European giant United hasn't played in the past decade. Milan might be the one we last played in 2007.
TV is where the big money is coming from, especially with no crowds. It stinks, but it is what happens.
Shouldn't both clubs (Liverpool and United) be better financially compensated since this is the case?
The positive with this draw is that we can at least win the EL 
.
.How is that not rigging the draw then?
Chelsea’s group is disgusting
So basically, after all the rules that teams can't play other teams from the same country to keep things fair, they totally throw it out the window due to money.
Never change UEFA, never change.Don't care really. We'll do them cnuts again.
Please not Leipzig
They always are in this ceremony, as they are so forced and pointless. All people want is to see the draw.
Not Leipzig please.
Surely Sevilla should manage to avoid the EL this year.
Fair enough I guess... but then this is also then invalidates the idea that the main purpose of this draw is for it to be "random"
Another easy draw for Chelsea.
I just read this..........
Liverpool recorded their biggest loss in any European match against Ajax, 5-1 on 7 December 1966.
We should, but not sure it is the case. In PL you get more money the more popular you are though.
Not sure about tv money from CL.
Think you lot might struggle with that.
Ffs
Freaking hell
Fcuk. So no chance of an easy leg.
Woody go buy some extra fcuking players!

Maybe it's 1966 then ha!
obviously
