For Spanish giants Real Madrid - Ron's new club - are
ranked as second seeds in today's 5pm draw.
And that means they could be in the same group as
Manchester United or ANY of the other English clubs.
Liverpool, Chelsea, United and Arsenal are all top
eight rated teams with Barcelona, AC Milan, Seville and Bayern
Munich.
But Madrid have dropped into the second tier after
failing to go beyond the second-round for the past five years.
That makes them the side everyone wants to avoid after
spending a staggering £200million this summer on ex-United star
Ronaldo, Kaka, Xabi Alonso and Karim Benzema.
Lyon, Inter, Juventus and Porto are also among the
second seeds.
