Hello Rank Squad!
Welcome back to Champions League Takeaway, the first one of the new season, where we're reacting not to the games that have just taken place, but to the draw for the Group Stages, which threw up all manner of questions and answers.
Jack watched the draw live to have a think about things, but Dean gets the draw for the first time on air - so it's the best of both worlds!
We talk through each of Groups A-G, including Group F's deathly dangers, some finely balanced second spot races, and how the big guns will fare against their less well-known rivals.
It's Ranks!
