Steaua joins CFR Cluj in the Champions League

Romania’s major football club Steaua joined current national champion CFR Cluj in the Champions League following its qualification victory against Galatasaray on Wednesday ,but players are by far relieved since groups were not settled yet and thus the two teams could have the surprise to face important European teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona or Chelsea.

Both countries will know tonight exactly who they will face as teams will be drawn in Monaco at the Grimaldi Forum. Steaua is classed in the third group and might face one of these teams:

17 Olympique Marseille 63.380

18 Zenit St. Petersburg 60.437

19 Steaua Bucuresti 59.398

20 Panathinaikos 52.525

21 Bordeaux 52.380

22 Celtic Glasgow 52.013

23 FC Basel 51.993

24 Fenerbahce 51.469

At its turn, CFR Cluj is part of the fourth group and might face one of these teams:

25 Sahtior 49.932

26 Fiorentina 40.934

27 Atletico Madrid 36.837

28 Dinamo Kiev 34.932

29 CFR Cluj 13.398

30 Aalborg 12.748

31 Anorthosis Famagusta 4.327

32 BATE Borisov 1.760.

Nonetheless, UEFA’s official website congratulates the evolution of Steaua against Galatasaray on Wednesday night and reads that what made the difference was the organization and discipline. This is the third time in a row now that Romania qualifies in Champions League.
