It really is suspicious at this point, but at the end of the day, it's probably just luck. Liverpool have been unrealistically lucky for years now so why shouldn't City? Maybe incredible luck for our two main rivals is part of the Egyptian curse that this club has clearly been under for a decade.

What's Kane's goalscoring record against United? It wasn't great if I recall correctly, unless I'm mistaken.
All 4 will give each other a tough time, not sure when Newcastle became this super power in peoples minds
Not a bad draw. We can easily get through, but on a bad day we can probably lose away to everyone in the group
Group F the group of death.
I am right in saying the last time we got Bayern in the group stage was 99?
Juan Mata back at OT
He is a free I think currently
We should be finishing at least 3rd in this group.
This is a fun group. Excited for the Bayern ties. This is the whole purpose of being in the CL
Decnt draw.
Feck Newcastle, hope they lose every game.
City will walk that group, 18pts and will score about 40 goals.

feck we have to go to Turkey.
Never a nice place to go.

Would be packed even if we played the bobbins city have drawn - I wonder if the reigning champions of Europe will sell out against their group opponents, though?
Experience. The others are seasoned European contenders. Newcastle will have to manage the league and European competition for the first time. These things count. Newcastle are good, but they are not that good. I expect Dortmund to demolish them on both occasions.
At least 2nd. Honestly if I were to bet I would bet on United finishing first. Bayern Is a great team don't get me wrong but they aren't as good as they used to be.
He left in the summer
My bad. Missed the news.
Would have got an amazing reception.
Congratulations Serena, the impact on this England team is phenomenal.
Neither are United. Bayern are still a lot better than us. You're dreaming if you think United are finishing top.
United need to start playing well again and looking solid again for me to be comfortable. The way we've been playing, it is far from a guarantee that we finish in the top 2. Also think Bayern will get better and better as the season goes along. I expect them to contend for the trophy at the end.
Wasn’t in a great team though was he, be a bit different now.
Galatasary is a good throw back, remember some good tussles with them back in the day.
Love they Newcastle group. That’s hot one to watch.
Our group is alright, interesting games with Bayern and Galatasaray but one we should still be getting through.

I'm super excited for this. Can't take any of these games for granted but at least we'll have some exciting fixtures as opposed to Arsenal & City's Conference League groups.
I was trying to find Liverpool and then i realised....
Lots of underestimating Bayern in this thread, it seems. They brought Kane, Min-Jae, and Leimer this summer. And Tuchel has had time to work now - a coach who has actually won the competition.
They won't be the Bayern of last season. I have them pegged as third-likely to win it, after City and Real Madrid.
Can't really see us besting Bayern at all, so we need to be perfect at Gala.
Yeah I really have to chuckle when someone thinks we're guaranteed to top this group. But hey at least I'm happy they re not Spanish. We should be able to make it out this group without many excuses.
It's a decent draw tbh. If you can't at least finish 3rd in that group then you've got problems.
Looking forward to it. Need to get back onntrack this Sunday and finally arrive this season

Yeah we should at least get Europa from this group so happy days
Bayern will top the group as they never shit themselves against smaller teams like we do. But after them, we should finish 2nd, even if we lose away to Bayern and draw in Istanbul
Just no. Dortmund in their current state might somehow grind out a win, but I would rather bet on Union Berlin winning it's group then on Dortmund demolishining anyone in their group.
Agree I remember the time with welcome to hell banners at the airport. Stories of constant noise outside and inside Utd's hotel. The players being assaulted by police with batons leaving the pitch.
Battle for 2nd between us and Galatasaray. They got a lot of tricky players, Zaha/Ziyech/Mertens/Icardi. It can be a banana skin. But this is what the UCL is about. Big European nights, all 3 teams great cities.
Holy moly
I live in Copenhagen
How do I get a ticket?

Have you watched Dortmund recently? Demolish? Having a laugh there.
It's actually funny but we haven't had a properly exciting CL tie in ages. We got PSG a couple of times with Ole but that's not a fun team. We got Barcelona when we knew we had no hope in the quarters that one year. This season is the most I've looked forward to the CL since Sir Alex and how we test ourselves in it. Glad we got a big game.
We have fallen so far behind. What is all this talk about third? We need to be 2nd, at least. Copenhagen and Galatasaray should not be close to us.
Besides group F all the other ones are pretty set.
It's the reality. We are largely a joke away from home in Europe. There's no guarantee we'll beat either in Copenhagen or Istanbul.
2nd? We can get top spot!
