UEFA Champions League Group Stage Draw
The Full Groups list
Uefe revealed that Fenerbahce has ben replaced by the team that finished 2nd in the Turkish league, Trabzonspor.
The draw for the UEFA Champions league group stage has just been concluded.
Manchester City were in pot 3 and were almost certain to be in the toughest group.
And they were; Group A for me is the group of death with Bayern, Villareal, Man city and Napoli.
Manchester United were handed the easiest group with themselves, Benfica, Basel and Otelul.
Barcelona were also drawn with Milan which should be a great encounter but those 2 should qualify easily.
The full groups can be viewed in the picture above.

La Liga delayed for another week- تأجيل بداية الليجا الإسبانية لأسبوع آخر
La Liga strike
وصلت المفاوضات بين رابطة الدوري للمحترفين و جمعية اللاعبين الإسبان إلى الباب المسدود بعد اجتماعهما الأخير اليوم الإثنين
خلصت المحادثات بين الطرفين إلى تأكيد جمعية اللاعبين الإسبان على استئناف الإضراب بدءً من يوم الجمعة القادم (26) حتى يوم الإثنين (29) من شهر أغسطس الحالي ما يعني تأجيل الجولة الثانية من الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم إلى موعد لاحق.
هذا و كان من المفترض أن تنطلق منافسات الليجا الإسبانية يوم السبت الماضي لولا عدم توصل الطرفان إلى إتفاق بشأن حصول اللاعبين الإسبان على ضمانات من الأندية التي يلعبون لها لتقاضي رواتبهم في التواريخ المحددة لذلك.
The players’ strike in La Liga is still on after a new meeting between the Spanish football League (LFP) and the footballers’ union (AFE) failed to produce any results.
The two parties will convene again on Tuesday hoping to edge closer to an understanding, so that matchday two of the Primera and Segunda Divisions is not postponed
The first weekend of the 2011-12 campaign has already been deferred, and Luis Gil, spokesperson for AFE, stated he is not too hopeful an agreement will be reached anytime soon
“The problem is not fixed, I understand that people want to see football, but they have to think about the players who are in a bad situation,” Gil said. He continued: “I would like to be more optimistic, but I cannot. Now, I can only talk about a strike in the second matchday. He added: “The strike will remain on if there is no agreement for all issues. We have made a new proposal and now we have to see if we can get closer.”
LFP president Jose Luis Astiazaran added: “It is not up to us that the strike is called off, we can only continue negotiations and submit proposals. We have shown we want to reach an agreement.”

The Spain winger has been linked with a move to the Premier League for much of the summer, with Arsenal
believed to be closing in on a deal at one point and Liverpool also reported to be interested.
But Valencia have announced that an agreement has been reached with Chelsea to take Juan Mata to Stamford Bridge.
The deal is subject to Mata successfully passing a medical, which could take place on Monday as Mata prepares to fly to London.
No further details were released, but Spanish media reports suggest the transfer fee will be in the region of €30million (£26m).
