Although I'm still celebrating last season's success, I have been reliably informed that the First Qualifying Round matches for this season's competition are upon us. Linfield's road to Wembley begins tomorrow.



Many of the usual suspects are involved again, but there is an interesting mix of new teams participating.

Juventus will be involved once again for the first time since 2009.

Paris St Germain and Montpelier go straight into the group stages.

Malaga, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Udinese will be aiming to qualify through the play offs.

Both Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund will be hoping to improve on their recent performances in European Competition.

frist

wow that was quick

With a decent draw a 2nd place in the group shouldn't be out of reach for Ajax, especially if we get luckier than last year

UTD @ 16
JUVE @ 17.5

agreed

Juvy odds look great assuming they're going to buy a stud striker this summer

F91 Dudelange (Luxembourg) vs. S.P. Tre Penne (San Marino) , winner playing RB Salzburg
Linfield F.C. (Northern Ireland) vs. B36 Torshavn (Faroe Islands), winner playing AEL Limassol
FC Valletta (Malta) vs. FC Lusitanos (Moldova), winner playing Partizan Belgrade

FC Lusitanos is a club in Andorra, not in Moldova.

Valletta, Dudelange and Linfield are the great favourites.

History says Barca has to win this year and Spain has to win 2014 World Cup.

Malaga/PSG and the new Juve make this a pretty scary looking set up. Gonna be some epic groups.

oops, should have looked at those flags a little closer

Meh don't think so. CL is sick strong this year. Not a lot of weak spots this time

Dortmund will also be in the 4th pot again or maybe 3rd.

PSG pot 4 we're guaranteed a sick group
