After the draws have been completed, my favourite teams to advance to the quarter final round are like this:
PSG - Real Madrid
Sporting - Manchester City
Inter - Liverpool
Salzburg - Bayern Munich
Chelsea - Lille
Villarreal - Juventus
Atletico Madrid - Manchester United
Benfica - Ajax
And I'm already pretty sure that majority of the people who have made their predictions think the same as me. And people who are thinking differently are favouring Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid most probably. I accept that they are both tough draws. But I don't see a big chance for Real Madrid to eliminate PSG. This can be PSG's biggest opportunity to win the CL title. And they will push until the end surely. And I see Manchester United as one step ahead of Atletico. Because Atletico seem a little more inconsistent than them. And I see Manchester United as a more capable team in offense.

JollyGood, I think update the OP and post the KO stage match ups? 
Done with the image you added in your previous post. Thank you 
Among these matchups, the one that I will especially be waiting for is PSG - Real Madrid. These teams are both having a solid season in the Champions League and in their domestic leagues. My prediction for this matchup is like this:
In the first leg of this draw, PSG would destroy Real Madrid using the home-team advantage by one or two goals. In the second leg, maybe Real Madrid would win by one goal but I think we would see a tie at the end of the game. And this would determine PSG as the advancing team.

Even I see PSG have a great chance to win in Legs 1 and 2, because I see even though Real Madrid are now starting to improve, but their defense still has some weaknesses and PSG who have a pretty dangerous front line will easily destroy the madrid defense, the stability that Madrid has in The league, of course, cannot be a reference if they can beat PSG easily in the first leg, because compared to the league competition, the Champions League has a different atmosphere in my opinion and it will be very difficult to beat a team in the champions league especially PSG, if Madrid still has weakness in several positions.

The KO stage fixtures were redrawn. Hilarious... UEFA is depriving the fans of Messi vs Ronaldo and see who’s really the best. Lol.
Anyway, here are the results of the redraw. They actually gave Man United a favor. Atletico Madrid should be an easier match up imho. And the other English clubs drew soft opposition too.

It is really sad to see Barcelona in such a bad condition now. They were not even able to qualify for the next stage of the Champions League. Normally, they should have defeated Benfica in both games and ended the group stage at the 2nd place. I don't say "1st place" because Bayern Munich would still be more powerful than them. They are worse without Messi but Messi also won't be playing football forever in the end. I'm hopeful about Xavi's new system to make the team much better in time.
Barcelona are going to take years to recover from the debacle they find themselves in. Will they win La Liga within the next 4-5 years - I think they will not be able to. They currently sit in 8th position in La Liga with just 23 points but Real Madrid top the table with 39 points.They have just been knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage for the first time in over 20 years and it is clear on current form they do not deserve to finish in the top 4 therefore the only way they can definitely find themselves in the Champions League next season is by winning the Europa League this season and that will not be easy either.
@JollyGood thanks for reviving this thread, and I’m excited for Manchester United winning the champions league a wild fantasy but yea hoping they do the unbelievable. Furthermore Liverpool who won all their group games are being hyped to win it, and while they’re good I feel this hype will make them over confident and that may effect their game, but I could be wrong too just my personal opinion.
Thank you. I know my English Premier League EPL thread is going strong whether I post there or not because it has a lot of interest but this one was left behind. Hopefully I will update it tomorrow when the knockout stages draw is made.As for Liverpool, yes they did great by winning all 6 group games but Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are also there. It is a strong performance and show of strength by them all to be there and send a warning to the other teams.
Considering the performances in the group stage, my favourite clubs to win the title are Liverpool, Manchester City, PSG, Bayern Munich and Chelsea now. I added Chelsea too because they are the last champions. And their general form this season has been really good also. But this time, one of the first four teams that I said is closer to winning the title I think.
I have not been posting as much as usual and have not updated this thread for some time but I will post back here when the draw for the Champions League last 16 teams is made on Monday 13th December.
Current holders Chelsea along with Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool have all made it past the group stages so that is good news for the English teams as it is for the Premier League on the world stage
All clubs from England made it to the round of 16, 3 of them became Grub champions, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, only Chelsea were raner-ups, because last night they played in a draw, only one more game left because of the game between atlanta and sevilla postponed, we can only wait for which team will meet, I hope my favorite team, Liferpol, will meet with Inter Milan..Current holders Chelsea along with Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool have all made it past the group stages so that is good news for the English teams as it is for the Premier League on the world stage

Here are the Champions League results from the games that took place on the 19th and 20th October 2021. I think Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea look formidable in Europe but Manchester United look in trouble.
That man Ronaldo did it again scoring the winning goal with just minutes to spare to come back from 0-2 down to win the game 3-2 but Manchester United will face stronger teams and they look as though they will struggle against them.

Manchester United had to come back from 0-1 to make it 2-1 when Ronaldo scored in time added-on (90+5)

No bets but I feel like City vs PSG would end up low scoring. Probably under 2.5 goals, maybe even both teams to score. 1 - 1? I haven’t checked the lines but 1 - 1 correct score, draw and the BTTS under 2.5 goals combo could be in play here. Dunno... What do you guys think?
These are the two scores that stand out in your list:
FC Porto- Liverpool 1-1
Paris SG- Manchester City 2-2
I have down as:
FC Porto 1-1 Liverpool
Paris Saint-Germain 0-0 Manchester City
The games will kick-off soon, it is good to have Champions League football back
Ajax- Besiktas 4-1
Shakhtar- Inter 0-2
AC Milan- Atletico Madrid 2-2
Borussia Dortmund- Sporting 2-0
FC Porto- Liverpool 1-1
Paris SG- Manchester City 2-2
RB Leipzig- Club Brugge 1-1

Well done to Chelsea for being the unexpected 2021 European Champions League winners. What a turn of events after Chelsea sacked Lampard and brought Tuchel as his replacement to manage the team.
Manchester City probably were favourites to win the final but Chelsea won it.

RESULT:
Chelsea 2-0 Real Madrid
I did not see the game but well done to Chelsea. Tuchel has made back to back Champions League finals and will face Manchester City in the final on 29th May 2021.
Chelsea 2-0 Real Madrid
Chelsea deserves the win. They played very well like the champions.
The return leg of the match was very easy for Chelsea to penetrate their defense. I thought Ramos would have made a huge impact in their defense since he didn't play the first leg.
Zidane did nothing to change the dynamics. Madrid was playing fine and scaling without Hazard until he decided to be fit. I guess by now Hazard will be regretting his move to Real Madrid cos he thought the championship league is far away for Chelsea to actualize.
Hazard championship league ambition and world best play won't get to him ever again
