PSG and Real Madrid would compete to top Group A. PSG look more settled than Real and with Di Maria now part of that team, I see them finishing ahead of Real. I tip PSG to finish 1st of Group A with
Madrid coming 2nd. Man Utd to top Group B is a no-brainer. The
experience of CSKA Moscow and a coordinated Wolfsburg side would give Man Utd a run for their money. If De Bruyne depart Wolfsburg, then
CSKA Moscow will nick the 2nd position.
Atletico Madrid should find Group C easy considering the kind of edge
they have over the rest of the teams in the group. I would lean
towards Benfica to finish 2nd ahead of Galatasaray. Group D is the
group of death, but my take on this one might surprise many. This is
the opportunity for Man City to step up for once. I feel City should
finish 1st and Sevilla 2nd. Juventus have sold some key players
without like-for-like replacement.
Barcelona to top Group E easily and Roma to finish 2nd with Leverkusen
giving them a scare. Bayern Munich should do enough to top Group F
with Arsenal coming 2nd. Chelsea has a relatively easy team to compete with,making them the run away winner in Group G, and Porto coming a distant 2nd. Group H is a balance group, which is there for the taking by anyone. Valencia 1st and Lyon 2nd. Congratulations to Messi for winning the best player in Europe.

  1. I can't wait for the games to begin - to laugh at your wrong predictions.
