Arsenal are in the top seeded group of 8 going into tomorrow's Champions League group stage draw.
As usual, the 32 teams are divided into 4 sets of 8, one from each of those sets being drawn into each of the 8 groups.
The other 7 top seeds are AC Milan, Juve and Lazio from Italy, Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna from Spain, Bayern Munich from Germany, Man United from England. Actually, Lazio still have to avoid a 2 goal loss away to Benfica tonight. If they don't make it, I imagine Inter Milan (or maybe UEFA Cup holders Porto) will be the 8th.
So Arsenal will avoid those 7 clubs in the draw, as well as the other English club(s) Chelsea (who qualified last night) and Newcastle (assuming they can hold onto their 1-0 lead in the home leg against Partizan Belgrade tonight).
Don't forget, there's no second group stage this year. We'll update on the full team list and seedings after tonight's qualifiers, and bring you the draw soon after it happens tomorrow (it's scheduled for 3pm). |
