Yes, but you cannot be drawn in the same group with a team from the same country. So for example if Munich are drawn then Schalke's and Dortmund's balls would be removed from the bowls.

I'd Switch PSG with Milan. Seeing Super Mario against City would be nice. Or even Juve and Tevez.

UEFA will want to help Man U since they have such a "tough start" to the EPL season.

Man U, CSKA Moscow, Olympiakos, Austria Vienna seems about right.
