UEFA Champions League Group Phase Draw

Arsenal have been drawn with Panathanaikos (Greece), PSV Eindhoven (Holland) and Rosenborg (Norway) for the first round of the 2004-05 European Champions League.

First impression is that this is a pretty good draw for the Gunners. Two long trips to Greece and Norway, but having the non-flying Dutchman available for the away match in Eindhoven is a bonus.
