Champions League 2016/17

Leicester City won the league...
I Can see Borossia and Roma knocking out Porto and Shaktar, but not Anderlecht beating Emirates Marketing Project over 2 games.

Am I missing something? Have the pairs already been drawn for the 4th qual round? Are City definitely playing Anderlecht

Young Boys keeper saves a pen, then a YB player rolls his effort wide.

Next Shaktar pen hits the bar, the keeper's bum and then the bar again.

Young Boys go through.
 
So the only way we can be in Pot 2 is if City, Porto and Shakhtar all go out in qualifying?
One out, two more to go. (But still - very unlikely).

Defeat for Olympiakos and Shakhtar moves PSV Eindhoven and Sporting Lisbon up from Pot 4 to Pot 3.
 
Champions' route:

Pot 1: Viktoria Plzen, FC Salzburg, Celtic, APOEL Nicosia, Legia Warzawa

Pot 2: Dinamo Zagreb, Ludogorets Razgrad, FC København, Hapoel-Be'er Sheva, Dundalk

Non-champions' route:

Pot 1: Emirates Marketing Project, Porto, Villarreal, Ajax, Borussia Mönchengladbach

Pot 2: Roma, Steaua Bucuresti, Monaco, Young Boys, FK Rostov

What are the odds that Celtic get Dundalk?
 
Emirates Marketing Project will comfortably beat any of those second placed teams. The only hope is that they draw Young Boys, with the first leg away, and suffer an away loss. Am I right in thinking that their pitch has been sorted now though? It has been 6 years since we played them.

Roma could be tough too. I think city will make it regardless though. Seems like young boys are back on a different kind of astro turf.
