Barcelona comes to the Bosuil. The Spanish national champion is the most glorious opponent that Antwerp will soon face in the Champions League. The Portuguese Porto and the Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk are the two other (feasible) group mates for the Great Old.
Antwerp will not complain about its draw in the Champions League.
With FC Barcelona, the Belgian national champion will face an opponent with name and fame, who has already triumphed five times at the champions ball. For trainer Mark van Bommel it will immediately be a reunion with his former club.
The only “downer”: due to renovation works, Barça will not play its home games in Camp Nou this season, but in a smaller stadium where the youth teams normally play.
Due to the presence of FC Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk, the Great Old can also dream of a European spring sportingly.
Club Brugge already proved last season that the Portuguese – second behind Benfica last season – can be caught.
And Shakhtar Donetsk is a team that has lost quality due to the war in its home country and is moving abroad for its home games.
The Polish sniper Lewandowski will soon visit the Bosuil.
Easy draw for City, PSG in group of death
We also see a lot of interesting posters in the other groups.
Dries Mertens’ Galatasaray will soon meet Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Copenhagen.
Group F may receive the traditional group of death stamp. With PSG, Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle, spectacle seems guaranteed.
Defending champion Manchester City, with De Bruyne and Doku, then ends up in a relatively simple group. With Openda’s RB Leipzig as the toughest opponent and RS Belgrade and Young Boys as absolute outsiders.
