Arsenal got a decent draw. Not easy, but manageable. Group E appears to be the infamous "group of death". City, Bayern, and Roma (Moscow has the potential to jump up and bit you too). Groups C and H appear to be the lightest of the bunch.

Did they mention where Shaktar Donetsk will play their home games?

Yea, I agree with E as the proverbial Group of Death. City, Bayern and Roma. Then all of them having to travel to Moscow. Tough.

What's the skinny on Ludogorets Razgrad?

What's the skinny on Ludogorets Razgrad?

Have no idea. Never heard of them.

Actually pretty cool story (bro). They beat Steaua Bucharest on penalties to get to the Group stage. Their goalie was sent off in final minutes of the game. A defender, Cosmin Moti, moved back to keeper. He made one of the PKs in the shootout and blocked 2 shots to win it for them.

They are from Bulgaria. ???

The word on the street is that Roma is way better than they are rated.

The Juventus group is no treat either. They have the Italian champ, Spanish champ, and Greek champ in the same group. Wow...

Fair drawn for Arsenal considering thay had to play ther way in. Dormund has been good lately; but, I know nothing about them this year. Galatasaray has always been a pain in the neck. Very surprised Bayern got put in a pod with City and Roma. Ouch. They got someone mad. F could be interesting, too, between Barca and PSG. Group C, G and H look weaker.
