Champions league group stage play off

[N5 1BH]

Draw tonight for the play off for Champions League group stage qualification.

Seeded clubs are Arsenal, Porto, Bayer Leverkusen, Napoli or Zenit St Petersburg.

So Arsenals opponent to come from one of these: Athletic Bilbao, FC Copenhagen, Lille, Besiktas & Standard Liege

Couple of tricky ones in there, not least Bilbao.

Arsenal should do it in a canter or they don't deserve to be there IMO.

Yep. you guys got the short straw I reckon. Phew

Most of the teams would have provided some degree of difficulty but certainly Bilbao were the ones I wanted to avoid.

San Mames is one of the hardest away games in La Liga, much like going to the San Paolo, a lot of parallels between the club, politically , socially and from a football perspective.

Can't wait
