The match between Liverpool and Inter Milan will be competitive. However, the chances of Liverpool winning are high. They have been playing well since the beginning of the season. The main striker Salah is in form. At the same time, every player of the team is showing remarkable performance in his place. They have played well in both the Premier League and the Champions League. Liverpool will be looking to win both the Premier League and Champions League titles this season.
The team players are well organized from the beginning of this premier league and champion league till now. Liverpool coach is well ready to do everything possible to make sure the team achieve their goals by winning this tournament.

Some really strong games after the draw,I would say the strongest of all of them to be PSG vs Real Madrid as both teams are in top form in their respective league.The second strongest game is without a doubt Inter Milan vs Liverpool,again the same here,both teams are in wonderful performances in their respective leagues.The other games I don't find them that interesting although they are still beautiful to watch as every direct elimination game.Betting since right now who is gonna be the winner of Champions this year should have some really high odds,worth having a look.

The draw between Atletico Madrid and Manchester United is going to be very competitive in my opinion. They both are inconsistent teams these days. Manchester United ended the group stage as the leader but their game is still not very satisfying. And as for Atletico Madrid, they are not doing too good in the CL and La Liga both. But in this clash, I'm closer to Manchester United's victory at the end. They seem more credible than Atletico Madrid already now.

I can't remember anything similar with Champions league draw when they had temake it again Cheesy. It's early to talk about games, it will be played after 2.5 months, so, many things may change until it. My thoughts about draw:
PSG - Real. It should be good. Currently Real looks as favorites there.
Inter - Liverpool. 2nd best pair. I think LFC is slightly favorites.
Atletico - MU. Both teams isn't very consistent, but I would back MU just because of Ronaldo - he likes to score against Atletico.
Benfica - Ajax. Should be very fun to watch. If Ajax will remain so hot until February, they are favorites.
Zalcburg - Bayern and Chelsea - Lille, I think everything is more than obvious there.
Villarrea - Juventus. Both teams don't look very good this season. Juve is better on paper, but I think it's not worth to understimate Villarreal.

I think pretty much the same about this draw... Bayern and Chelsea have easy opponents, I guess both will have easy games for the next stage! Real and Liverpool are favorites, but both games will be hard, and maybe we can see some surprises, I would like to see PSG in the next stage. Ajax is hot, you said it, if they continue to play like this they have a big chance to get to the finals, personally, I would like to see them there! Juve and United have a little advantage, but I guess Villarreal and Atletico can surprise, all of them are in pretty much similar form. As you said, games will be played in February and March, so things can change by that time, we will see... anyway nice pairs!

I was really excited to see a draw like PSG - Manchester United first today. But because of the big mistake of some UEFA official, the draw had to be repeated. It would have been really great to watch another Messi - Ronaldo duel here. But maybe we can see this in the next stage who knows. They both have tough draws like PSG - Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid - Manchester United. But I believe that PSG and Manchester United both can advance.
well anything can happen in this champions league maybe later Messi will face Cristiano in the next round

I hope to see this exciting duel for the first time when they are in their respective new teams

although there was a technical error at the start, but after all the draw for the last 16 of UCL this season is really full of good matches and really worth watching

I think both these games are gonna be competitive and all these teams has an equal chance on getting to the next round both man united and atletico are struggling in their respective championships and both real madrid and psg are dominating their respective leagues.

I don't see them as so favorite. I understand why Ajax is said to have some favouritism. But, in turn, Benfica has a strong midfield and is also very good in the counterattack. If they play like they did against Barcelona, Ajax will have more difficulty.

I guess you watched Benfica matches but didn't watch Ajax matches. Ajax played very dominant and won all of their games. Their stats are ridiculous. Haller is the top goalscorer in the tournament. Ajax is heavy favorite against Benfica in this draw. I believe they can go way farther than quarter finals this year.
PSG - Real must be the most difficult draw here. Too bad one of them will be eliminated early.
@LGD2Business agree with your thoughts. The way Ajax is playing is very impressive. They completely destroyed Dortmund and Sporting, which is more or less similar level teams like Benfica. Maybe I wouldn't say that Ajax is heay favorite, Benfica is a good team too. And there is plenty of time until February, so, lot of things may change. Maybe Ajax performance will go down in upcoming months, nobody knows.

Ajax were in the weakest group of this year's edition. It's true that Sporting lost twice with them, but in the first game it was due to their inexperience, and in the second they were already qualified and took the second team. Either way, Ajax are a great team. And it will be a lot of work for Benfica.

It was one of the toughest groups this year, are you kidding me? Netherlands champion, Portugal champion, Turkiye champion and Germany's best team after Bayern were in the same group. You can see how hard this group is, Dortmund couldn't even advance to next round.
Ajax will destroy Benfica and they are possible contender this season. If we see them in semi final it won't be surprising at all.

After seeing Ajax finishing Dortmund off in one of their group matches, I see that Ajax can do a similar thing to Benfica also. It would never be surprising for me to see them reaching the quarter finals easily. But after that, it is doubtful if they can achieve more than that. It will be depending on the quality of their opponent. Ajax are really strong this season and they are not like this just in the Eredivisie.

Liverpool has been very consistent in UCL this season and previous seasons, thus I don't think Inter can pose any serious threat to their qualification, though they are more tougher than Salzburg who where initially paired  Liverpool, Salah and other African players will be back in the squad after African Nation Cup in January, there is no doubt will Liverpool would scale through that stage going by their pedigree in the UCL and past records.

I think that's what won't happen.
The squads of both teams are very balanced and similar. It will all depend on the game strategy. Therefore, I believe it will be two very well balanced and depot matches.

I was too excited to see Ronaldo and Messi play face to face, but UEFA made another scandal. The current match of Manu team is Atletico Madrid and I think that Manchester United can beat this match. With the current all-star mix, PSG team should be able to beat Real Madrid easily. In the past, all the star players were in Real Madrid, now things have changed Smiley

Matches look good I'm excited to bet already. The first legs will be played on February 15-16.

PSG was strong on paper in the beginning of the season especially after signing Messi and Ramos but honestly right now, I doubt they could make it to the finals. Maybe in the upcoming weeks their gameplay might improve and prove me wrong but until then I think two teams between Bayern, City, Liverpool and Chelsea will play finals.
Although I don't really like your way of paraphrasing clippings from articles ... nevertheless, I probably disagree with you or with si.com. It's all about priorities, and the Champions League is not among Messi's priorities, but perhaps the club's management and such young players as Mbappe want this, but definitely not the one who wants to take the first line in the history of world football.

Who is Messi's closest competitor for this title? Ronaldo? Now compare his trophies with the trophies of everyone's favorite Portuguese and you will understand what I mean. If I knew where I can now bet on the fact that Messi will play in the Premier League in two years, I would have done it without hesitation, since having won the Premier League championship, Messi would have been able to catch up with Ronaldo in terms of the number of cups he owns.

Quote from: www.si.com
The French outfit have one of the best teams in the world. On paper. Unfortunately for them 'on paper' doesn't win you the major honours. With Lionel Messi finally in the scoring books [...]
You are wrong. The site you came up with might have the same way of writing? but I am not used to do this and won't. I read many articles in different languages during the day so I might be influenced with some.

Nice draw for real, it is quite embarrassing but we ended up having PSG playing vs Real Madrid, Liverpool and Inter, ManU and Villarreal. I believe those 3 games are the hardest and the most unpredictable since the others are quite easier with a clear favourite in each. I expect ManU, Liverpool and Real Madrid to pass to the next stage but I couldn't endorse them in any bet. Better to wait for the result of the first leg to have an idea.

The draws were repeated in Champions League matches. It was a moment that will be remembered for a long time. Interestingly, Lille-Chelsea pairing was the same in both pairings. Ajax-Benfica match will also cause us to watch a good match.

Only this time I heard the draw was cancelled. It's like a music concert. LOL. It illustrates how bad the UEFA system is, they made small mistakes that put credibility into question. I hope problems like this will not be repeated because as well as I know UCL only this time I experienced it.
Rescheduling the match is certainly an interesting match is Madrid vs PSG. The 2019 match ended in a draw. It's hard to guess who qualified but I'm looking forward to Madrid. In addition, I am also looking for all four English teams that will qualify for the next round.

a draw with a lot of interesting games ... i have marked my favorites in bold. bayern and chelsea should have no problems to enter the 1/4-finals - in the other games, as so often, the daily form of winning or losing will be very decisive
in any case, it is first of all an advantage to have an away game
