So, now we know who we need to get past in order to get the Champions League back in our possession for a 7th time.
Well, for the first few games anyway, we need to get out of the group stage first, and after that itโs a completely different story because you never know who is going to make it through from the other groups. Ajax, Atalanta and FC Midtjylland will be our opponents, with the exact order and dates of the fixtures to be announced shortly.
And if you have friends who are neutral and want to tell them which group to follow during the proceedings, then youโre in luck because according to journalist Joe Prince-Wright, ours is set to be the most entertaining of all the ones on offer:

Are you happy with that Champions League draw?
Yes
No
I have to say that I personally think that this is a relatively decent draw all things considered, and hopefully we can get business done early so we can rest players in later games in order to counteract the hectic fixture schedule that English teams have this season.
What about you? What do you make of the draw?
