I don't think Milan, Lyon, Schalke, Valencia or Arsenal could play against each other because the draw is seeded...or isn't it?

Was that the first time ever that Robben dribbled to his right?

For next season it might be better to avoid teams that will be in pot 3 (teams like Dortmund, Man City, Tottenham, Ajax, Zenit) that to avoid teams from pot 2 (which will probably consist of Shaktar, Benfica, Milan, Schalke, Lyon, CSKA, PSG and Marseille). Of course, if Juve advances to pot 2 we...

I was using the fake Balotelli qoute that emerged after the match on San Siro.....

I know Balotelli is cup tied, but why other Milan players aren't allowed to play?

Ambrosini can't even run anymore.

But does it really benefit Juve to qualify to pot 2? It's likely that there will be Manchester City, PSG, Tottenham and maybe even Dortmund in pot 3, while pot 2 would host Atletico Madrid, Lyon, Shaktar, Benfica, Schalke, Marseille, Milan and Juventus. I would rather draw any of the 6 possible...

Are you sure about that? UEFA website says win and draw bonuses are awarded only for wins or draws in group stage. http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2013/finance/index.html Btw, Juventus have leapfrogged Manchester City in club coefficient ranking. Next teams ahead of us...

For season 2010-11 it was more than 50 million euros. Also, money is not distributed equally, but depending on last seasons rank in league. So given that we finished first and Milan second, we should get more than them. Maybe something like 60-40.

Speaking of prize money, qualifying to CL group stage this year brings 8.6 million €, compared to 7.2 million € from last year. Rewards for a win and a draw in group stage are also increased by 25 % from 800 000 € to 1 million € and from 400 000 € to 500 000 € respectively.
