Short travel distance and opponents we haven't played too often before are priority for me. Don't want to be going to Russia, and I am bored of beating the likes of Porto (thankfully they are not in the equation this time). Not really interested in playing Napoli and Dortmund again, but would love a chance to get revenge on Real. Napoli it is then

Chelsea seem to have the worst of the English teams draw so far, but City have some travelling to hostile places. Spuds and us getting off lightly

Man City travel:
Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine) - 8 hour flight - 2,154 miles
GNK Dynamo (Croatia) - 4 hour flight - 1,245 miles
Atalanta (Italy) - 2 hour 15 minutes flight - 984 miles
Liverpool travel:
Napoli (Italy) - 3 hour flight - 1,450 miles
Salzburg (Austria) - 2 hour 30 minutes flight - 1,025 miles
Genk (Belguim) - 1 hour flight - 515 miles
Then you look at howinhospitable Zagreb & Donetsk are and we have a little advantage here to aid our PL cause. However we've got to get this group over early with no nightmare scenarios like we did in Belgrade, Paris and Napoli last season.

I'd like to see who they have before and after that trip to Donetsk, hopefully it's straight after they play us!
