Champions League's 05-06 Groupings

As it was in the World Cup*, 32 teams constitute the group stages of this year's Champions League.

Chelski face Barca for the third successive season. The first time the two teams met in 04-05 CL, Chelsea ended as victors. But Barca took revenge the year after. This time, who's game is it? The two teams are joined by German team Werder Bremen and Bulgaria's Levski Sofia.

Liverpudlians find their team drawn in Group C while ManYoo and Arsenal respectively are located in Groups F and G. Other distinguished teams are scattered all over: Italia's Inter and the Bundesliga's Bayern belong to Group B while Spain's Valencia and Real Madrid wait in Groups D and E. Finally, AC Milan, which almost didn't make it to the Champions League caused by the match-fixing scandal back in their hometown now are ready to compete against 3 others teams in Group H in the group stages.



There's just so much to follow, as if following the EPL isn't hard enough.
