Group D
Even we were scratching the bottom of the barrel to find something here but we were way out of luck. This is the group where the teams qualifying for the Knockout stages would be the most sought after once the draw for the RO16 takes place.
Lokomotiv Moskva are out of contention because they simply do not have the resources to fight it out in the big leagues while Schalke and Galatasaray are making a return to the Champions League after a three year absence and they will be quietly confident of making the knockout stages in a group which is as wide open as any.
Porto look comfortable at the top but things in this group could change in one Gameweek.
For everyone who denounces the small teams like those in Group D are the ones that make the UEFA Champions League what it should be, a carnival of football for everyone and teams of all abilities.
