AGENCIES: Every tournament needs a ‘group of death’ and this year’s Champions League has offered up a particularly mouthwatering draw.
Group F earns that tag this season, featuring Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and a new-look Inter Milan side, which has been boosted by the arrival of new manager Antonio Conte, star striker Romelu Lukaku — and the expected signing of Alexis Sanchez.
The unfortunate team from pot four to be drawn with these European giants is Czech side Slavia Prague whose representatives in the audience could only smile after seeing its name added to the group.
Jurgen Klopp will likely go home this evening a happy manager, as defending champion Liverpool was grouped with Napoli — as it was last season — Austrian side Salzburg and Belgium’s Genk.
