The draw is done ...

Group A: Liverpool, Porto, Marseille, Besiktas
Group B: Chelsea, Valencia, Schalke, Rosenborg
Group C: Real Madrid, Werder Bremen, Lazio, Olympiakos
Group D: AC Milan, Benfica, Celtic, Shakhtar Donetsk

Group E: Barcelona, Lyon, Stuttgart, Rangers
Group F: Scums, Roma, Sporting Lisbon, Dynamo Kiev
Group G: Inter Milan, PSV Eindhoven, CSKA Moscow, Fenerbahce
Group H: Arsenal, Sevilla or AEK Athens, Steaua Bucharest, Slavia Prague

Personally, I think things could be worst:
under pot 2, getting Porto is still better than ending up with Valencia, Lyon, Roma or Sevilla
under pot 3, getting Marseille is still better than ending up with Lazio, Stuttgart ... or having to travel all the way to Moscow or Bucharest
under pot 4, the best draw could only be Rosenborg or Rangers

I have no qualms about LFC making it past the group stages ... I'm looking at how the three CL away games could affect performances of BPL games the following weekends.

In that sense, I think only Chelsea is void of the excessive travelling ... while Arsenal has it worst, especially if it's AEK Athens & not Sevilla making it past the qualifier.
