UEFA Champions League 2007-08: Group A Preview

Group A Teams:

Liverpool

Porto

Marseille

Besiktas

UEFA Champions League 2007-08 season draw has been over. Thirty two teams will be playing in eight groups of four teams each. Group A teams are Liverpool, Porto, Marseille and Besiktas. Liverpool is the most successful club in Champions League history among these four teams. They have won UEFA Champions League for five times and the most recent was in 2005 season. Last season Liverpool was the runner up of Champions League as in the final they lost to AC Milan. Liverpool is one of the most successful English clubs in English Premier League. Liverpool is the top seed team in Group A.

FC Porto is one of them most successful Portuguese club in Portugal domestic league. Porto has won Champions league title two times. Porto is one of those teams who appear regularly in Champions league. Olympique de Marseille is a major club in France who won 1993 UEFA Champions League and was runner up two years back in 1991. They could appear in the champions league final these two times. The other club of Group A is Turkish club Besiktas. They have not any notable record in Champions League history.

I think, Liverpool is most favorite in the group to enter into the knock out stage. For the second place there will be a hard fight between FC Porto and Olympique de Marseille because both clubs are in same level. Now, let us see who are going to be the two lucky teams to qualify for the quarter final stage from Group A.
