Yeah hopefully :lol:

. Well in fact , at the moment the toughest team we could get is Zenit followed by lyon-Fenerbahçe and Psv . Now Lyon and valencia arent sure to make it , if they dont , then the hardest draw we could get is Fenerbahçe and Psv .

Cant we face Tottenhann? Also we wont play against Lyon, Totteham or Valencia, becuase we and the 3 teams are setted(?) sry I dont know he exatly word, but we can just play against teams like PSV, Shalke, Fener,... easy teams to say it so

Kingmilan · May 21, 2013

nope , tottenham finished 5th in the premier league . Since we and 4 other teams are going to be seeded , yeah we will face smaller teams (even if zenit and lyon are not small teams ). Thats why if sociedad and saint-etienne pass instead of lyon and valencia, we will avoid zenit and lyon .

Christian · May 21, 2013

The wiki page is pretty decent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%9314_UEFA_Champions_League

As far as I can tell the 5 best seeded non-Champions will play the 5 worst seeded non-Champions. Arsenal (113.592), Us (93.829), Schalke (84.923), Paços de Ferreira (12.833) and the fourth placed Spanish team which is either Valencia (102.605) or Real Sociadad (Who I can't find the Coefs for, did they play in Europe in the last 5 years?) are already qualified for the playoff stage.

The teams which will compete for playing in the playoff stage are;
Zenit Saint Petersburg (70.766), PSV (64.945), Metalist Kharkiv (62.451), Fenerbahçe (46.400), 3rd placed team in Ligue 1 (Most likely Lyon (95.800)), FC Nordsjælland (12.640), Zulte-Waregem (6.880), Winners of the Greek Superleague Play-Offs, Runners-up of Swiss Super League, Runners-up of the Austrian Bundesliga.

So we'll be seeded in the first pot no matter what meaning we won't play Arsenal, Lyon, Valencia or Schalke as they'll be in the first pot as well, and if Lyon or Valencia don't qualify for the playoff round, then we won't play Zenit. If both Lyon and Valencia don't qualify then we won't be playing PSV either.

Neenyg · May 21, 2013

can we just steal Hulk of Zenit to replace Robinho so that they are no threat if we face them

Neenyg · May 21, 2013

I would LOVE to see this team next season after selling Prince and Robinho:

---El Sharaawy --- Balotelli --- Hulk---
------Montolivo--------Verratti---------
-------------------De Jong---------------
DS------Zapata---Ogbonna-----Abate-----

Swap Prince and 10mil for Hulk
Sell Robinho for 8-10 mil and buy Verratti for 15 mil

Kingmilan · May 26, 2013

Lyon progressed , we will know next week if valencia follows them or not .

Mario · May 26, 2013

^ is that good or bad for us?

well it dosent really matter but yeah its bad . with lyon in , and with valencia almost in we have a chance of getting zenit or psv . if valencia dosent pass , then we wont get zenit for sure and the best we could get is psv for example

Yeah thats actually very good . We should have a very favorable draw (even if fenerbahce are decent) . But if/when we make it to the group stages , i think we will be pot 2 .

Kingmilan · Jun 1, 2013

Cant believe sociedad finished 4th in la liga ahead of sevilla-valencia-malaga(who had a very good run in this year's cl) and Bilbao. But anyways its good news for us since we will be avoiding Zenit .

Here's another article on milan's possible opponents .

Patri · Jun 2, 2013

Had Valencia made it, Zenit could've been an opponent. Now that Sociedad have made it, they themselves can be an opponent for Milan in the playoffs.

Milan's opponents will be one of:

Real Sociedad (Q)
PSV Eindhoven (Q)
Metalist Kharkiv (Q)
Fenerbahçe (Q)
Nordsjælland (Q)
Zulte-Waregem (Q)
Red Bull Salzburg (Q)
PAS Giannina/Tripoli/PAOK/Altromitos (playoffs in progress to decide which of these teams goes through)
Pacos (Q)

If Lyon don't make it out of the third round of CL qualifiers, we won't face PSV either.

Azzurrii-08 · Jun 2, 2013

When is the draw or something?

Pipa · Jun 2, 2013

I want Sociedad

If they manage to keep their key players then I wouldn't even consider us the favorites. Definitely the strongest of the bunch we can face.

You're overestimating them.

Tho they are one of the stronger teams from that bunch.

I think so, but Sociedad has exceeded there expectations this season in La Liga, they might be a surprise...

Nah, I just don't find our big game results impressive.

Sant_Ambroggio · Jun 2, 2013

Please Nordsjælland, i would take holiday and buy tickets for the Away-Game in a heartbeat :proud:
