We have had a bit of good fortune with the pot 3 side we drew. They were easily, by an absolute country mile, the weakest side in pot 3. I'd have expected us to won the h2h against all pot 4 sides with the exception of Galatasary however so Brondby being the bottom ranked team is a most point.
We have also been fortunate that Lyon have won every game as it effectively made it a mini league between us and the other 2 for 2nd place. However, if we didn't get the good fortune from pot 3, the n maybe we could be going into the final game with a chance to win the group as maybe one of the stronger pot 3 sides could have taken points from Lyon and the group be a bit more open. So it's swings and roundabouts in that regard.
The way the fixtures have fell has also been favourable, given we had Lyon in matchday 1 and 6. Its kind of made games against them irrelevant.
Its a great achievement though. The coefficient points and financial rewards don't care who are in the group. Can only beat what is put in front of you.
