Some random thoughts on the draw:

Both Group B and Group E lack any of the traditional powers and also picked up some of the stronger pot three and four teams, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see any of the teams in those groups advance

Group C is both a brutal group—Borussia Mönchengladbach is is very good—and will feature the Pep Guardiola versus Barcelona match-up everybody wanted

Nice, Arsenal is set-up to make and then lose in the Round of 16 for the millionth straight year

I have absolutely no idea what will happen in Group G

What do you think?
