    Never been to Germany and always wanted to.

    Club with a proud European history like us. Plus we'd have more chance of beating them than BVB.

    They are a class side! Think it would be a cracking atmosphere though, both sets of fans should get on pretty well.

    Pretty amusing to see them act like the 'big boys' because they're in pot 1.

    Enjoy it lads.. You'll never be in the Champions League again :bbpd:

    They still have that manager they appointed last season? He really has done a magnificent job.

    The same way they're likely about to implement automatic CL qualification to the top 4 finishers in each of the top 4 leagues.

    Give it a few years. They'll just award the CL trophy to whoever wins the EPL.

    Wrong, it is actually because they changed the system so that the champions from the 7 highest rated leagues are all pot 1 seeds, it is why psv were top seed last season, if anything it is more of a nod to it being a CHAMPIONS league if all top seeds are champions and the holders

    Wouldn't be so sure. Not to say we couldn't beat them, but they were tearing apart Young Boys today in their final playoff match. Were already 3-1 up after beating them away from home comfortably. They can really move the ball with pace and their attackers would give our backline all they could handle. Great looking stadium tho, would be a great atmosphere for sure.

    Not wrong. Suggested it was preferential treatment for the top leagues, which it is. The restructuring for top 4 teams from each of the top 4 leagues getting automatic qualification is an example of it, and Leicester being a pot 1 team is another. Personally, I have a big issue with the former, not as much with the latter.

    We'd still have more chance than against Dortmund, though.:smiley-laughing002:

    They are definitely the better side. I'd rather face Raffael, Hermann and whoever else they have up top than Reus, Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele.
