people are still sleeping on the quality of the group. Lyon are a much more dangerous side IMO this year than last. I felt like the team that had won 7 titles in a row had become complacent and slowly picked off for talent. They have since reloaded and are much hungrier. I am not sure how good the Hungarians will be in Hungary, but if both Lyon and Fiorentina take 6 points off them, we could be in a bit of trouble.
I think this is the hardest group we have had since I started following the club. I would say Atletico has been the toughest team, but they are on par with Lyon, and then Fiorentina as a 3rd seed, as they showed tonight, can be dangerous.
The three best teams we have played this season have all beaten us, VERY WORRYING. And we looked outplayed in those games as well (not as much in the Villa match, but we did lose by 2) Further, in our lead up friendly that we took pretty seriously to get ready for the season, we got outplayed by Atletico
