Barcelona won three of the six encounters and drew two of them. "You never get easy groups in the Champions League," Barcelona forward Lionel Messi said. "Of course we know Milan well and we also played Celtic last season, while Ajax have a lot of European history. So were looking forward to some very tough, very exciting, very beautiful games." Celtic claimed a shock 2-1 victory over Barcelona in last years group stage. "I think its the best and the worst draw we could have got," Celtic manager Neil Lennon said. "In terms of glamor, it doesnt come any better but its the most difficult we could have got." Bayern, which beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in last years final at Wembley Stadium, is in Group D along with City, CSKA and Viktoria Plzen. "CSKA Moscow and Manchester City, in particular, should not be underestimated," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said. "It wont be a stroll for any (German) club, not for Bayern Munich either."
