I don't think Chelsea will make it out the group. I can't see them going to any of the 3 teams away from home and winning which they have to do now.

They don't necessarily have to, of course it always depends on if there's a whipping boy in the group but we went through last season with 2-2-2 and 8 points.

But a home defeat like that is a grim start for them.

True but we got lucky thanks to the Inter result as well. So if they had scored, that draw wouldn't have been enough for us. I think Ajax can easily go to Chelsea and take something as well.

I don't disagree with that, but you said they have to win an away game to go through and I gave an example where that wasn't the case. Luck doesn't come into it. :)

Well yeah, I think they have to, due to the fact Valencia are probably the team they will be fighting for 2nd with and having just lost to them at home, they need to go and get a big away result for me. Even 2 draws would be a tough task...

Luck arguement ??

Inter got lucky that our disallowed goal against PSV for absolutely no reason wasn't given...etc

Maybe luck wasn't the right term but the way everything fell into place last season I just don't see it repeating for another team the way it did for us.

Which is why I BELIEVE Chelsea have to go to one of the away games and get the 3 points.

PSG blowing Real away.

Will be fantastic to face PSG in the knockout if we make it.

Oh wow, Bale

You know that phrase "came back to bite you on the ass"?

2 goals for Di Maria against his old club, Madrid. second one was a cracker.

And as I type, Bale appears to have scored a worldy but VAR questions being asked...

Real Madrid 0-2 down away to PSG. Surely the question on everyone’s mind is why are PSG in their away kit?

PSG is so enjoyable to watch on the attack. And it's not even with Mbappe and Neymar.

Tuchel is really a great coach.
