[1]Chelsea were drawn into Group ‘E’ with last years beaten Europa semi finalists FC Basel from Switzerland, along with Shalke 04 from Germany and Steaua Bucharest from Romania.
A good draw for us but the same cant be said for some of the other British clubs ……
…… Man Utd have a fairly decent group and should progress without too much problem, Man City will face a tough task and Arsenal have the group of death!, good luck with that.
Celtic probably wished they stayed at home with the toughest looking group of all.
