Don't be surprised if they pass the group, the last time three years ago they were seconds away from passing the group. I don't think they will be the last in the group, unless they fall into some group of death. They are strong! :up:

They probably already burned all that money in salaries of "celebrities" like Pjanic, Alex Teixeira, Batshuayi, etc., and are now poorer than one year ago. :fingal:
just consider there is high inflation in Turkey that means you rather spend all your money today - tomorrow it might be worthless :)

Rangers surprised, I thought PSV would get away with it. Congratulations to the Scots, it's not easy to eliminate PSV! :applause:

Bad game PSV, deserved loss. Painful
Playing CL is more important than coefficient, but for coefficient EL is better.

Probably the weakest pot 4 in last 10 years.

It was bound to happen, with more and more teams from the big leagues getting a high ranking.
The pots used to be more mixed when some big league teams were in pot 4 and some "smaller" league teams in pot 3.

Pot 4 is not weaker, but pots 1, 2 and 3 are getting stronger. The only weaker club in the first 3 pots is Shakhtar and that is solely because of the situation in Ukraine. And pot 4 is super strong, maybe only Macabbi and Copenhagen are a bit weaker, they will take a lot of points from the favorites. :banana:

From whom will Plzen take a lot of points? Or Marseille who have 15 consecutive losses in the Champions League?

Celtic, Plzen, Haifa, Copenhagen and Dinamo won't have more than 3-4 points.

Only if they get group like Frankfurt-Sevilla-Shakhtar-Celtic, than I can see Celtic (or any other mentioned team) to win 5+ points.

Ignore the qualifications, Dinamo is regularly bad in the summer and gets in the right form later. He has had a lot of great victories in recent years and there is no reason why Dinamo shouldn't do it again this season in the CL.. I wouldn't say that the champion of the Czech Republic is bad, it's a strong league! :applause:

3 or 4 points can be quite enough to win third place and continue the season in EL. That's a good success in the elite CL! :banana:
