My Opinion – Teams to qualify:
Group A : Paris Saint-Germain and FC Porto
Group B : Arsenal FC and FC Schalke 04
Group C : AC Milan and Malaga
Group D : Real Madrid and Manchester City
Group E : Juventus FC and Chelsea FC
Group F : Bayern Munich and Valencia
Group G : FC Barcelona and SL Benfica

P.S Y’all say that Utd got put in the easy group but they couldn’t even qualify to the Round of 16 and they were put in the easy group last season, having lose to FC Basel.
Am hapi with dis draw nd with d grup my team fal 2 barcelone more tanx 2 fifa
I am a fan of the Red Devils and I pray we lift the champions league this season. For group D, 4get if it is Spain and and Germany! Good luck to man city!
I will always remain a fan of Red Devils but I enjoy good football! Cr7 can still win the world if he humbles himself like Lionel Andres Messi. I wish Iniesta luck and pray he conquer The World this time cos He is an utility!!!
hello noisy neighbours, let’s see how hard you can blow thru your a***. both german and dutch teams have almost the fastest team play in Europe. that’s the only way to out-score man city. Morinho, the special one, is used to holding pad, it’ll be easy for madrid. I’m interested in GROUP D. man utd may also be so unlucky this time at round of four. I wish chelsea play madrid this season in any knock-out stage.
From my end, best of luck to the italian and russian representatives and other participating teams.
F c barcelona wil qualify and win the CL

I’m a Bayern munchen fan even if we loosed last year but this year is ours, just watch the uefa is ours i know.IN GOD WE TRUST. In big & small teams we will win.
Bayern Munich and Barcelona are the best teams in 2012/2013. Greets from Spain
Just hope my beloved Arsenal sail through, as i expect. Podolski and Cazorla, will be key players.
Also expect United to through..Now for the miracle, City to end up in the Europa League..Madrid to win group, with Dortmund second, having the better result against City. Win at home and draw in that toilet in Manchester..Arsenal are a cert for the semi’s this year.
Whew huhu, the battle is soon 2 bgin, lets see who’s gonna b the winner
Juventus are the sleeper team to win. Everyones hating on the Italian League but just remember how Napoli beat Man City, Milan beat arsenal, and Napoli only got knocked out by eventual winners Chelsea (the same team that beat Barcelona haha).
I think Manchester United have a easy group and i think man.utd qualified without any problem
Glory Glory Manchester United??
Man U 4lyf!!!!!!!!!! Still proud of my team till da day I bounce 6ft below. Go Man U go!!!! Van persie will surely lay a firm foundation this season.
BARCA………..BARCA……….BARCA………… BEST OF LUCK……..oping 2 c ma team winng diz time…….

I think these teams will qualify:
Group:
A: Paris st Germain & Porto
B: Arsenal & Schalke
C: AC Milan & Malaga
D: Real Madrid & Man City
