Champions League: Berbatov and Rivaldo's exclusive views on the draw

Dimitar Berbatov: Tottenham have experience now

Tottenham's group indeed looks very difficult one! But Spurs managed to take points from Real Madrid in last year's Champions League group stages, so they are familiar with the way spanish teams play in Europe. Barcelona, with Messi, is the obvious favorite here to win the group but lets not forget about Inter Milan.

Spurs have faced Inter before in 2010 and won their home fixture against them 3-1, so I hope they can manage to take points from them again. Although PSV shouldn't be underestimated but when you have those other three teams in the group, of that quality, I don't see them getting anything but fourth place!

CR7 returns once more

Everybody will be talking about Cristiano Ronaldo coming back to Old Trafford again. Juventus and Manchester United are favourites on paper in Group H, but if United want to get out of the group they need to up their game and they know that.

Juve have a great team, so it's going to be very interesting tie. However, if United don't raise their game, I see Valencia challenging them for second place in the group.

Rivaldo: Barcelona should come out on top

I think it is more difficult for the other three clubs (Inter, Tottenham and PSV) than for Barcelona, with the Spanish club as favourite in the group.
They are all good quality teams with history, but Barcelona - for all their achievements in the Champions League and the players that have - must show why they are highly respected by other clubs.

I consider Tottenham a tough opponent for Barca, let alone any team in Europe right now, but the group stages have six matches and Barcelona has all the talent to go win the group ahead of Spurs. This group (B) is one of the toughest alongside Group C with PSG, Napoli and Liverpool.

This is a group with four teams of great tradition, so we can expect good matches and qualifiying might come down to the wire. It's a group of death.

Real Madrid got lucky

Real Madrid had more luck than Barca in the draw, but as I always say the proper Champions League only starts at last-16 for the favourites. It's like the World Cup. All the big clubs are almost forced to qualify from their group or it will be a huge failure for them and a shame for their fans. In this case, I expect Real Madrid and AS Roma to go through.

Group C is very tough with three big teams fighting for just two places. Napoli, PSG and Liverpool will battle hard for qualifying, that's for sure. I also consider Bayern Munich's group interesting, with the Germans favourite for first and then Benfica and Ajax fighting for second. With all due respect to AEK Athens, I don't think they can compete in this one.

Group D is the easiest group - FC Porto has the most experience and they should qualify followed by Galatasaray, Schalke or Lokomotiv.

Juventus also seem to have a reasonable draw and I don't anticipate problems for them, even with Valencia and Manchester United in the group.
