Barça's possible 'group of death' in the Champions League draw

The next edition of the League of Champions is for defining the liguillas in which it will contest his first phase in the draw that will make in Istanbul the Thursday 25 August. To the have not won LaLiga or a continental tournament like the Europe League, the FC Barcelona will have to split from the bass drum 2, in accordance with his coefficient, by what will measure to one of the heads of group in his search of the pass to eighth of final.

In the bass drum 1 appear the names of the champions of the five domestic tournaments more important of the continent: Real Madrid (LaLiga/Champions), Manchester City (Premier League), Bayern of Munich (Bundesliga), Paris Saint-Germain (Tie 1) and the Milan (Series To). To them they will accompany them the Ajax of Ámsterdam and the Port wine, victorious of the past edition of Eredivisie and the Primeira League, respectively, in addition to the Eintracht of Frankfurt like monarch of the Europe League.

Of this way, can be distinct the combinations that would carry to the Barça to an affordable zone or to a 'group of the death', as in the previous edition in which the culés could not advance to the round of direct elimination. In that then, the hardest rivals were the Bayern and the Benfica, eventualmente classified between the 16 better, whereas the Barcelona would play the Europe League and the Dynamo of Kiev remained without options.

The options of the Barça in the bass drums 3 and 4

In theory, the culés would have to litigate by the leadership of the group beside one of the heads of series (except the Madrid, for belonging to the same League). However, also there are difficult clubs to win in the bass drum 3, of the that will go out another of the rivals, like the Borussia Dortmund, or the Inter of Milan (descartados if the Bayern or the Milan finish in the same group) that have added important reinforcements in the market of summer.

The others options, in the paper no so complicated, are the RB Salzburgo, the Shakhtar Donetsk, the Napoli, the Bayer Leverkusen, the Sporting of Lisbon and a rival with the one who there would be are of revancha: the Benfica. The group of the Barça would be completed by a team of the bass drum 4, that in a principle would not suppose problems, save in the case of the Olympique of Marseilles (to the that would avoid if it coincides with the PSG), to the that accompany him the Celtic of Glasgow, Witches, Victoria Plzen and Maccabi Haifa, waiting for other three clubs that will go out of the keys PSV-Rangers, Trabzonspor-Copenhagen and Dinamo Zagreb-Bodo Glimt.
