I absolutely love the arrogant dismissal of Bayern from the Spurs writer in the Athletic. I'm sure he's not the only one who thinks that.

Proof posititve the narrative that if you don't watch the EPL, or root for an EPL side than you ain't shit is alive and well.

Bayern has a tricky group. Those road games could be tough. Remember Bellgrade beat Liverpool last year. Still them and Spurs to clear the group. Poor Dortmund. Got screwed.

Did Spurs writer watch Tottenham versus that shit show that is Newcastle last week? Spurs could still lose Eriksen still.

F is harder to me but must admit I don't know much about Leverkusen

Kai Havertz potentially one of those generationally type players at Leverkusen. He'll go for 9 figures to someone next year...hopefully Bayern. Good for the future of the German National Team.

Almost perfect draw for Lyon. With Ajax winning today that put us in Pot 3 instead of Pot 2, and I was worried we'd get a Liverpool and RM kind of group.

Instead we get the worst Pot 1 team (Zenit), one of the weaker Pot 2 teams (Benfica), and the RB. Probably the most evenly matched group at a whole, and I could see Lyon absolutely winning this group.

It will be a pretty big disappointment if all 4 EPL teams are not in the round of 16.

Favorable draw for all

That was my thought too. Any two could come out of that group.

I'd have to go back and re-read the article, but I don't recall him mentioning that.

Selective memory, it would seem.

In their domestic league or the CL playoffs?

CL Playoffs. If they had lost, Lyon would have been in Pot 2, but since they won the CL Playoff, they were in Pot 2, moving Lyon to Pot 3.
