Yup, Ajax can't seem to get a break in the group stages: Champion of Spain, Champion of England and Champion of Germany. *sigh* Broadcast schedules really screw up the seeding in favor of the big league teams.

Not too mention Real Madrid third year in a row. Would have preferred Barca, Ajax have never played against them in a European Cup match before.

At least it will be a good learning experience for the squad, the oldest player is like 26. Same really for Dordmund, which makes it an interesting match up: two of the worlds top youth academies versus the best football money can buy.

For the rest:

Group A: Porto, Dynamo Kiev, Paris St Germain, Dinamo Zagreb

Group B: Arsenal, Schalke, Olympiakos, Montpellier

Group C: AC Milan, Zenit St Petersburg, Anderlecht, Malaga

Group D: Real Madrid, Manchester City, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund

Group E: Chelsea, Shakhtar Donetsk, Juventus, FC Nordsjaelland

Group F: Bayern Munich, Valencia, Lille, BATE Borisov

Group G: Barcelona, Benfica, Spartak Moscow, Celtic

Group H: Manchester United, Braga, Galatasaray, CFR Cluj

Man U getting their usual easy group, Porto can't complain either.
