I feel like Man City always gets easy groups, wtf? the one this year is europa league tier   tough group for Man Utd. Group E is laughable. Atalanta vs Liverpool will be Over 7.5 goals in each game LOL And Cristiano vs Messi again!

Lol, I'm not sure about Man City always have a let of group, but Man Utd indeed are in the group of death 😑 other than Instabul Basaksehir which I don't keep any tabs on their league, the remaining two teams Leipzig and PSG are arguably in a better shape than Man Utd, However, a lot could change before tournament gets underway and I have a feeling that Man Utd might make it out of that group.

Great draw for Ajax. Liverpool is always great to play against. Become number two in this pool is doable.

Playing vs Atalanta in the same group couldn't guarantee the second place assuming Liverpool will fit against Atalanta too. Atalanta is a decent team, it is rocking lately and it can fight for the first position.
Group D then H are the hardest to pick the first 2 teams on it!

[coinlocket$]

Juventus vs Barca, CR7 vs Messi is the best thing we can have for the sport  

Groups H and B are the hardest IMHO with 3 teams for 2 spots.

My thoughts about every group
A - No questions about Bayern, then it goes Atletico, Salzburg and Krasnodar.
B - Real vs Inter will be interesting, while Shakhtar and Borussia will have to fight for 3rd place.
C - Easy for Man City, while 3 remaining teams probably is in similar level.
D - Liverpool - Atalanta should be great game, I don't see Ajax going going further.
E - Sevilla probably won't have chance to defend Europa league trophy this year, they will go further with Chelsea. Rennes and Krasnodar will fight for Europa league spot.
F - Dortmund is heavy favorites here, while remaining teams is more or less similar level.
G - No questions about Barca and Juve, while Dynamo Kyiv is 3rd best team here.
H - Best group IMO. I feel sorry for Başakşehir, but I think they won't end without points in this group.

Juventus vs Barca, CR7 vs Messi is the best thing we can have for the sport  

Who knows, maybe it will be one of the last chances to see them playing against each other.

BVB and City drew the easiest groups imho.  And it's nice to see Marseille in the CL.  I'm looking forward to seeing an AVB managed side again.  I hope he goes thru group C.

Well I didn't said it was guaranteed. Just saying that they have a good draw and have a chance to goes a round further. The draw  could been worst for Ajax.

Now it are four attacking  teams so it would be great matches in advance.

Ajax will surely have a point proof in that group with the other two clubs, Liverpool will top that group no doubt about it based on their experience and their pedigree in UCL, Atalanta will slug it out with Ajax to book for a place for the runner up in that group I don't see any chances of FC Midtjylland qualifying in that group.
Ajax will always parade talented and youthful team who plays with zeal and are very energetic so we shouldn't under rate the their team they will give  Liverpool a tough time and run of their money.

I think this year Uefa Champions League will even more beautiful to watch than it usually is in the group stages because of the awesome draw that has put many strong teams in the same group like Real Madrid and Inter in one group,Juventus and Barcelona in one group and so on.Lastly I am impressed with Ferencvaros making it to the group stage.

UEFA wants at least 12k people at the stadium for the game between Juventus and Barca

But they want don't mean they will have since the final decision will take place from National Governments.

It is very possible with more than 3? meters between each spectators at least! People in real life and in closed spaces are way closer to each others..

finally we start with the most important competition in Europe, good or bad draws have created homogeneous groups, but I believe that group B and group H are the most difficult and unpredictable ones! inter and Real Madrid play first place in group B and PSG and MAN UTD play first place in group H, both groups have a fairly strong third contender

[3meek]

All groups look very interesting, and I am sure that we will have a nice matches!
Everybody expects that the favorites will definitely go further, but I would like the newcomers to show surprises too!

[cryptofrka]

A great group for Liverpool. I've been wanting Ajax for a while, thought I'd be getting them in that final 2 years ago.

Atalanta is basically the strongest team from the 3rd pot but overall it's a group in which Liverpool will probably get the 1st spot and will qualify with relative ease. If the corona situation lets me, I'll probably go to the Atalanta game.

[babo]

My preferred groups are
- group A
- group B
- group G
- group H

I think that in these groups (indeed we can say I hope) there is the show the real one, the one you enjoy watching matches with many goals and many actions

Are you Italian, are they letting fans into games in Italy? Atalanta are a good team but your team Liverpool will be too strong for all the teams in that group. Ajax are not the team they were two seasons ago, bigger clubs have taken their best players.

I agree with you, all the groups are quite homogeneous, but as an Inter fan I don't think he will finish first in his group, Real Madrid are very strong and it will not be easy to win the double clash against them. but we will see and I hope that Inter arrive as far as possible

[bct_ail]

I like the composition. This is partly a really interesting draw. Fortuna wanted to have some drama right from the start. 

I'm looking forward to the German clubs in Group B and H. That will be difficult for Gladbach and Leipzig.

i dont like inter..
not so much the players or the coach, it's a club with a wrong mentality .. a mentality I buy everything and it doesn't work like that in my opinion
the best thing to do is to build (starting from the Primavera team)
