The whole draw is invalid and will be repeated. Some embarrassing things happened to UEFA during the draw, for example Manchester United was wrongly excluded as a possible opponent after Atletico Madrid was drawn.
Here a article for the fail and timeline for the new draw. Actually also a very embarrassing mistake that should not happen, or UEFA should notice.

who do you think it's going to advance to the next round? my picks are in bold
Benfica vs Real Madrid
Villareal vs Manchester City
Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich
Salzburg vs Liverpool
Inter vs Ajax
Sporting vs Juventus
Chelsea - Lille
PSG vs Manchester United
All the English teams got an easy draw except Man Utd whose hope of qualifying to the next round against PSG is very uncertain, your picks looks feasible and accurate, it is going to be Ramos+ Messi playing against Ronaldo, quite unlucky Man Utd top their group table unfortunately paired with PSG who are a runner up in their group, Pochetino who had managed Tottenham before knows how to handle EPL club, so I don't think Man Utd will pose any serious challenge to PSG aspiration of winning this year UCL. Benfica vs Real Madrid
Villareal vs Manchester City
Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich
Salzburg vs Liverpool
Inter vs Ajax
Sporting vs Juventus
Chelsea - Lille
PSG vs Manchester United
My favourite teams for these draws are: Real Madrid (vs Benfica), Manchester City (vs Villarreal), Bayern Munich (vs Atletico Madrid), Liverpool (vs Salzburg), Inter (vs Ajax), Juventus (vs Sporting), Chelsea (vs Lille) and PSG (vs Manchester United). And most probably, majority of people have the same pedictions as mine. This round isn't going to be too exciting except few games. But as of the quarter final round, things will start getting really interesting undoubtedly.
Except Juventus, I'm pretty sure about the rest of the teams to advance.
Same here but for other reasons than the ones you mentioned in the rest of your post. I know that Juventus have a better performance in the Champions League comparing to the Serie A. But Sporting are not a team to be underestimated as they defeated a strong team like Dortmund in their group matches. As Juventus have an inconsistent form in general, Sporting might have a chance.
The reason that Dortmund performed below their expectations during the group stages is because they were missing many injured players. At times, 6-7 and more players were on the injury list at the same time. The biggest handicap was that they had to manage without their best player Haaland. I am also unsure about Juventus because they basically have no build-up play from their midfielders. None of them can go head-to-head against teams with strong midfield players. The positive news is that Dybala was just examined at the Juve medical center and his injury doesn't seem serious. So unless he gets injured again, he will be available for the knockout stage. There is plenty of time though. Even though he is an attacker, he is often forced to go back and help the incompetent midfielders.

I agree with all you choices. They are good based on the current form and performances of the clubs. Where I have little doubt is Inter vs Ajax.Benfica vs Real Madrid
Villareal vs Manchester City
Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich
Salzburg vs Liverpool
Inter vs Ajax
Sporting vs Juventus
Chelsea - Lille
PSG vs Manchester United
That is certainly not clear to me as I am very sure that Inter cannot have 3points when they visit Ajax, no matter how good they may be.
Again, at this stage, Manchester United always put a good fight against PSG, the last time they made a world record come back. But that quality is lost in United team.
Maybe we are hoping for Ronaldo-Messi miracles.
PSG vs Manchester United - in this pair, a lot will depend on Manchester United and how the team will approach the match and I'm more interested in the confrontation between Messi - Ronaldo
I always wonder about the credibility of these draws, how come Ronaldo and Messi's team are both drawn up against each other. There's a lot of corruption in Football and the champions league draw seems very rigged to me. This encounter may be the last time both GOAT's play against eachother in their career. who do you think it's going to advance to the next round? my picks are in bold

It does not matter whether or not the draw was influenced, but what a coincidence that this match took place. I wasn't disappointed by the Champions League draw, I'm looking forward to the most thrilling match of all time! Once again, the greatest goal scorers in UCL history are on the same field. I can't wait for this match, the best match of the season?Benfica vs Real Madrid

I have to agree with that guess. The teams in bold are really the most likely to move forward.
Perhaps the game Benfica vs Real Madrid is the one that can be more balanced and Benfica surprise.

I agree with all of your picks. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Inter and Chelsea have a quite easy job ahead of them to do. Atletico Madrid are the strongest opponent considering the opponents of those teams I mentioned. But I don't think that they have much chance against Bayern Munich. Juventus and PSG might have a little hard time but I still don't expect them to make any mistake. Juventus might eliminate Sporting by a close gap but PSG might do better than that against Manchester United.

Bro, I agree with most of the picks, but I disagree with only one. Inter - Ajax, I think Ajax is a much better team than Inter this year.
Inter vs Ajax
My favorite team for the final is Real Madrid.

Same as you, except for Inter game. If Ajax keeps all their players in winter transfer window I am giving them the advantage against Inter. Ajax has been playing in incredible form and they can outgun Inter in Netherlands for sure.Benfica vs Real Madrid

Psg - United is the one everyone is talking about with Messi - Ronaldo clash but I think PSG will get this one easy, unless United seriously improve their defense in the meantime. They already started to improve under Ragnick so maybe this clash will not be that one sided by the time the game actually happens, if they were playing now I would bet a house on PSG

Hard for me to predict the matches of Inter vs Ajax and PSG vs Man United. These 2 games seems 50:50 for me, the other matches are mostly to be easy win for the teams in bold. PSG vs United is the most interesting one as we will see the duel of Messi vs Ronaldo. I cant remember when was the last duel between these 2 players but I'm sure it will be a great match as the condition of both team is not in their best, that's why it is a 50:50 for me.

Except Juventus, I'm pretty sure about the rest of the teams to advance. I'm keeping Juventus outside because maybe Sporting can surprise us. I know that Juventus have a better performance in the Champions League comparing to the Serie A. But Sporting are not a team to be underestimated as they defeated a strong team like Dortmund in their group matches. As Juventus have an inconsistent form in general, Sporting might have a chance.

By and large, I agree with you. I expect the fight will only be in matches PSG vs Manchester United, Inter vs Ajax.
PSG vs Manchester United - in this pair, a lot will depend on Manchester United and how the team will approach the match and I'm more interested in the confrontation between Messi - Ronaldo
I'm calling it now - quick, put Liverpool, man city and Bayern all to advance to the quarterfinals before the odds sink!

Manchester United can win the Champions League, they are getting back to winning ways,game after game,I hope the coach geta suitable formation and tactics that suits the set of players present in Manchester United.
It's embarrassing going without a major trophy year after year.
It's embarrassing going without a major trophy year after year.
Manchester United can win which Champions League. Is it same Champions league that Bayern, Manchester City, Liverpool, PSG, Real Madrid is battling for? Or do you have another Champions league elsewhere for Manchester United.
Did you watch Manchester United vs Norwich City?
Manchester United cannot succeed round 8, anything that makes Manchester United near round 4 is not football again, it should be called a miracle.
I believe that there is no way that Manchester United would be the winner of the Champions League title this season. I mean how are they going to make it by this performance level? I accept that Chelsea's winning the title last season was absolutely surprising but they were performing very good already. The reason why it was surprising was that PSG, Manchester City and Bayern Munich were seen as closer to the title.

There are two hours left to the draw to take place. And let's have another look at the clubs in the draw:

I would like to share my prediction about the draw:
Manchester City - Benfica
Liverpool - Villarreal
Ajax - Chelsea
Real Madrid - Salzburg
Bayern Munich - Sporting
Manchester United - Atletico Madrid
Lille - Inter
Juventus - PSG
I don't expect many draws like a finale and I hope that it would be the case. Because it would be more exciting to have that kind of draws as of the quarter final games in my opinion.

I just can't wait to see the draws tomorrow. I wonder one thing the most whether we will see one draw or maybe more than one like an early final match. I would like to see that kind of draws when we are closing in to the final stage. And I wonder what Bayern Munich will do if they have a draw vs PSG again like the last season. They have an unfinished business with PSG. They would like to take revenge on them in that case.
The draw for the champions league will be held today in lyon, fifa will form 2 pots, a superior pot and a non-seeded pot, hopefully my favorite liferpol team will reunite with representatives from italy, inter milan, but even if it is a draw later liferpol meet together PSG, I'm optimistic that Liferpol can play well and win.
