In the end I think that worked out quite well for BT. I now think City are more at risk of not getting out of the group rather than Arsenal, but good to have Spurs and Leicester on the other night.
I'd be stunned if Arsenal don't go through from their group. Man City on the other hand..........very tough group. Leicester have a great chance of qualifying, and Spurs will face a battle to get through but I reckon they'll do it.

As discussed in previous days”
Is this confirmed? So goals on sport one both nights?

Bt sport two and three.. But will they use espn for the Celtic games or keep champions league goals on the channel and push Celtic to the red button?”
I reckon they'll move the Champions League Goals Show to BT Sport 1 (as I'm pretty sure they did once or twice last season) or any games involving British clubs that are also featuring on BT Sport Showcase. They'd receive a load of criticism if they put Celtic or any of the English teams behind the Red Button.

Don't customers pay less just to have bt sport one though? If they put the goals on bt sport one people would just pay for bt sport one surely?

Like Sky Sports News is available outside of the sports pack and they show goals during the Soccer Specials in midweek.
It will have no baring at all plus, they had the goals show on BTS1 a number of times last season, so no!
BT could take the opportunity to "burn" their BT Sport Showcase opportunity to show Celtic, Arsenal and Man City on three of the occasions they all play, making it irrelevant if that game is on BTS1 and available to people who don't pay extra for the full BTS pack.

Because that is the reason teams are paired... to make sure that the highest-rating teams from each country aren't competing for viewers on the same night.
