Champions League Draw

The UEFA Champions League group stage draw takes place from Monaco on Thursday at 18:00 CET and as usual will be streamed live.

Pick your group, the easier the better to see us through to the next stages would be helpful, with not too much travelling involved. 

Benfica or CSKA Moscow, Bayer Leverkusen or Porto, Brugge or Sporting and Legia Warsaw or Copenhagen.

That'll do. CSKA are arguably the weakest team in Pot 1 and we can't draw Leicester, who are in Pot 1 as League Champions.
