hamburg are a very dangerous side who pushed bayern munich for a while last season, with the likes of van der vaart, kompany and de jong. the cska moscow team have proven they are a very good side by winning the russian league and uefa cup last season, and with players such as daniel carvalho and vagnor love, as well as the advantage of being able to play cold weather of moscow, should also be a real threat. porto of course are also a strong side, being the current champions of portugal, and having a good squad consisting various portugese internationals, as well as others such as lucho gonzalez who had a decent world cup with argentina. it is a very difficult group, but to be fair, it could have been worse but i believe that our 3rd and 4th teams (cska and hamburg) were the most difficult teams available in their pots. however, these teams shouldn't really stand in our way, but that may depend on how well we can quickly adapt to the new stadium.
