Barça get tough Champions group

Barcelona have been handed arguably the toughest group in this seasons Champions League.

Group E will see Barça, French champions Olymique Lyon, German champions VfB Stuttgart and Scottish side Rangers FC all vying for a place in a place in the first knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League.

The top two sides in the group progress to the knockout stage whilst the team who finish in 3rd drop out of the competition and into the UEFA Cup. The team who come last in the group are knocked out and will see their European season come to an early end.

Barça will be bidding to win their 2nd ever Champions League title (and their 3rd European Champion Clubs' Cup) and have been installed by the bookies as the favourites to win the competition come May next year in Moscow.

But before Barça can think of that final in Moscow, they will have to get through the group they have been given today.
