Click here to see Champions League Group Stage Draw for 2014/15
The Champions League group stage draw for 2013/14 has been made and on first glance, Group F and H look like the most difficult groups. Group F sees Arsenal with Marseille, Dortmund and Napoli and H sees Celtic drawn with Barcelona, AC Milan and Ajax Amsterdam.
Chelsea seem to have the easiest group of all English teams on paper, drawing Steaua, Basel and Schalke in Group E. Man Utd are with Shakhtar, Leverkusen and Real Sociedad in Group A, while Man City are in Group D with Bayern, CSKA Moscow and Viktoria Plzen. After failing to qualify from the group stages for two seasons in a row, City will certainly be more confident this time around

it good group stages , i am happy and it balancing foot ball.
i t is a probability it equal chances
it gives us portantial
i think pellegrini will show his experience of the champions league this year, man city gotta go far this time
I think that Chelsea should return with rafael Benitez because Torres use to shine since Benitez had arrived I also think that hazard is our key player and mourinho has no idea what he is doing despite of buying cavani or falcao it’s Kevin de Bruyne and Andre schurrle
