Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City more likely to draw Atletico Madrid in Champions League than any other team… and it could be Barcelona for Spurs

CHELSEA, Liverpool and Manchester City are more likely to draw Atletico Madrid in the Champions League than any other team - and it could be Barcelona for Tottenham.

One super-fan - Mark Cilia Vincenti who runs the Twitter account BayernForum.com - has run 50million simulations for Thursday's draw and found who's most likely to meet who.

And it's bad news for Tottenham who have more than a one in five chance of landing Barcelona.

Spurs drew the La Liga champions 21.56 per cent of the 50m simulations - the highest percentage chance of any team to face anyone.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are the only Premier League team to sit in pot two, while Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City are all in pot one.

Those three therefore cannot meet Spurs - and vice versa.

But that means Tottenham have just five options for teams they can meet from pot one in their group - Barca, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Zenit St Petersburg.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid, Atletico, Borussia Dortmund, Napoli, Shakhtar Donetsk, Benfica and Ajax or Lyon join Spurs in pot two.

Reigning champions Liverpool's most likely partners are Atleti and Shakhtar Donetsk - with the Blues having a near-15 per cent chance to meet Real Madrid.

Man City face a similar fate too, but it's Tottenham who face the ugliest draw thanks to their pot two burden.

They have a 19 per cent chance to face Juve, Bayern or PSG - in what could become a "group of death".
