Celtic only UK former winner in Champions League draw

360

Celtic are Britain’s only former winner in this afternoon’s Champions League group stage draw, joining four English clubs, attempting to secure the trophy for the first time. Both Spanish former winners, Barcelona and Real Madrid, are there, as are Portuguese winners, Benfica and Porto.

Like Britain, only one of Italy’s former champions – Juventus – are in this season’s tournament. Past champions from Germany, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund made it, while Netherlands’ Eindhoven complete the line-up of nine former European champions in this season’s group stage.

Best of luck to all former champions.

Enjoy the draw, and remember, game dates can be changed, so be careful if you’re booking flights.

  3. the glorious balance sheet on

    Some good shouts there, especially Alan Mcinally , jarosik and mahe!

     

     

    I’ve remembered daniel majstorivic, Basel, rabiu ibrahim (Psv and sporting Lisbon) and aliadiere, arsenal

  4. Not really too bothered who we get – just glad to be back in the big time.

     

     

    Western European teams rather than long travelling distances would be nice. And not Barce again please – we play them way too often!

  5. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    Anyone know when UEFA present us with our £30m war chest?

     

     

    Perhaps we could allow it to be on display at Kelvingrove Museum?

     

     

    So that Stickies could see what one really looks like :)

  7. So the only teams we haven’t got a player linking us so far are Porto, Besiktas and Ludogorets by my reckoning

  8. Gordy,

     

     

    I got Real Madrid, Man City and Sporting on my second go.

     

     

    I’d take that !

    Speaking of Ludogorets,they’ve got about ten Brazilians in their squad. Just thought I’d set them up for a wee pun competition…

    Apparently the blog is now inhabited by huns trolls and racists according to the pleasantries being flung around.

     

     

     

    Just remember racism is like cricket………………………. Invented in England but perfected in Australia.
