Official Champions League draws, Arsenal faces Bayern Munich, Manchester City in group of death

'Arsenal are in the same group as Olympiacos , the Greek club who are mired in serious match-fixing allegations which UEFA have ignored as far as their participation in Europe’s elite club competition is concerned.

'Champions Chelsea will be confident of progressing through a group stage containing Porto, whom manager Jose Mourinho led to an unlikely Champions League triumph, along with Dynamo Kiev and Maccabi Tel Aviv.

'Manchester United also have a relatively easy passage into the knock-out stages.'



Manchester City, cursed with bad luck in the Champions League, suffered another horror draw in Monaco.

'City have to face last season’s runner’s up Juventus as well as Spanish club Seville who won the Europa League and tough German competitors Borussia Monchengladbach.

'Arsenal also have a problematic group, facing Bayern Munich who have beaten them twice in the last three seasons of European football.'


The biggest story of the draw has to be Arsenal and Bayern Munich clashing
Well you know what they say, to be the best you have to beat the best, and Bayern Munich are certainly up there as one of the finest teams on the planet.
