Why would you want a EL route like Real Madrid last year? It feels so much better to win the whole thing when you have beaten the best out there and doesent get the easy way. That said i know its way easier to win the competition if you the same amount as luck as Real Madrid in last years drawings.
Remember Italy in 2006? Australia and Ukraine en route to the semis. Madrid last year? Roma and Wolfsburg en route to the semis. I'd rather we win the the trophy after so many years, and then we can worry about facing the top teams next year :D

Champions League: BT extends TV rights until 2021 in deal worth £1.2bn

BT Sport has extended its TV rights for the Champions League and Europa League until 2021 in a deal worth £1.2bn.

The company has been broadcasting Europe's elite club competitions since 2015 under the terms of an £897m deal agreed in 2013.

BT Sport, owned by Britain's biggest broadband and mobile operator BT, is a paid subscription service.

But it said it would make clips, weekly highlights, and both finals available to watch for free on social media.

The new deal gives BT Sport exclusivity across all live games and highlights for the first time - meaning there will be no weekly highlights shown on free-to-air broadcaster ITV.

Europe's top four domestic leagues are to be guaranteed four places each in the group stages of the Champions League from the 2018-19 season.

Other changes to the competition will see 'double-header' nights in the group stage, with matches kicking off at both 18:00 and 20:00 UK time.

The current top four leagues according to European governing body Uefa's rankings are Spain, Germany, England and Italy.

Under the present system, England, Germany and Spain have three places each while their fourth-placed teams must win a play-off to qualify.

Nipples will push forward create lots of chances and grab early goal team will lose focus and madrid will crush them and score a goal on each counter. Nipples lose 1-3 again de laurentis breaks his media silence and trashes sarri, ref or players in non sensical rant
