So an extremely challenging round for many teams here. We have the huge underdogs of last season Leipzig going up against one of Europes biggest - FC Barcelona.

Liverpool feature in what looks like on paper the 'group of death' facing up to Dortmund and the most successful team in the competition - Real Madrid.

Roma and chelsea too feature in what looks like a very exciting group and we see two of the biggest and baddest, Bayern Munich and PSG face off in the first game week.

It's going to be an exciting year full of ups and downs, we can't wait for June to come around for the final conclusion.

Some tough groups there and it'll be special for Leipzig going up against a team such as Barcelona I look forward to it and seeing how you progress

Hey guys, I was dreading this My RBL Save has unfortunately corrupted so although i was halfway through the season in game there is no point in continuing. I'm gutted!

Thank you to those that supported this for the short time it was up, I will be back as soon as I find a club that interests me to write about which I hope will not be long.

Would have been a group you could have gotten out of! Gutted that this story won't be continuing though, hopefully you're back sooner rather than later!

I actually qualified from top spot, drew and beat barcelona in the two games. Gutted! But I will be back as soon as I find an enjoyable save I can write about, thanks for the support griffin
