The Champions League groups were drawn earlier today and all in all, it could've worse for all the British clubs involved.

Last Season's runner's up Manchester Utd were drawn with CSKA Moscow, Besiktas and Wolfsburg in Group B.

Chelsea will face Porto, Athletico Madrid and APOEL Nicosia in Group D.

Liverpool drew Lyon, Fiorentina and Debrecen in Group E.

Rangers were drawn with Sevilla, Stuggart and Unirea Urziceni in Group G.

And Arsenal are set to battle it out with AZ Alkmaar, Olympiakos and Standard Liege.

Champions League group stage draw:

Group A

Bayern Munich
Juventus
Bordeaux
Maccabi Haifa

Group B

MANCHESTER UNITED
CSKA Moscow
Besiktas
Wolfsburg

Group C

AC Milan
Real Madrid
Marseille
FC Zurich

Group D

CHELSEA
Porto
Atletico Madrid
APOEL Nicosia

Group E

LIVERPOOL
Lyon
Fiorentina
Debrecen

Group F

Barcelona
Inter Milan
Dinamo Kiev
Rubin Kazan

Group G

Sevilla
RANGERS
Stuttgart
Unirea Urziceni

Group H

ARSENAL
AZ Alkmaar
Olympiakos
Standard Liege

From the list it seems Liverpool might have the tougher time of it, with very accomplished teams in Lyon and Fiorentina to fight it out with, but Group A and Group B look equally stacked. I almost feel sorry for the fourth seed teams in those groups, but this is what the Champions League is all about, right?

Which group do you think should be officially labelled 'The group of death'?
