I wonder where is the hell group that usually happens every season, and can group B be called the hell group this season? I don't know, because I think now every group gets a competing team that has the same level in each group. I mean, this season it looks like every group has at least three favorites and one team as dark horses and I see that in every group at the moment.
Group A should be really fun for Manchester City and PSG. Actually, I was hoping to see them clashing this season again but this was not what I wanted. 
I hoped to see them in the final stage or right before it. Leipzig shouldn't be underestimated of course. If I'm not wrong, PSG and them were in the same group in the last season also. But this time, PSG are even more powerful with Lionel Messi. Poor Club Brugge. They have near zero chance for even qualifying for the Europa League.
The match between PSG vs Man City will be star match when both star-studded team play each other, That match will live up to its billing, it's a match every soccer fan wouldn't like to miss, there might be a possible meeting between Messi and Ronaldo, if the latter eventually move to Man City, however it's obvious both team will qualify from that group at the expense of RB Leipzig and Club Bruges whose chances of qualification is very slim.

F group - repeat of last Europa league final, plus Atalanta. But I think it's not bad group for MU.

it is not an easy group for my beloved Atalanta
but surely there will be some very fun games, and that's what counts
Juventus and Chelsea will be a very boring group, I foresee
in general it will be a blast of fun
Atalanta has a solid group they could have gotten worst honestly. But Atalanta has an amazing team this season so i think they can even make surprise and pass this group and go to the knockout faze. But still it will be a really intresting group to watch
An amazing group to get as a Liverpool supporter. I'm really confident in our team and don't look for the easiest route out of the group stages anymore, so to get Atletico and Milan was really great. We have some unfinished business with both of them so kicking one out of the CL will be fun.
I'm kinda annoyed with Porto though, I have a feeling we get them every year.
There are some really weak groups again, especially United's and Sevilla's. They look more like EL than CL but I guess that happens every year.

I think so too. I do wish we don't keep getting Porto (my brain tells me we seem to have met them too many times in recent seasons haha) but I'm happy to get Milan back in too, we have much history together. Like you, I don't want an "easy" group as I much prefer getting the tougher teams early, it sort of gives you a launchpad later on in KO and finals. And it's perfect to get the chance for revenge. I still also want to meet Real later on, really not happy they took us out and when we last met, we didn't have VVD... no offense to our boys but Ozan and Nat Phillips were just so, so poor.
Chelsea and Juventus look like they should very easily progress... I worry Lille, top seed in their group, might even crash out. United also look like they should easily go through.
Deja vu tells me another LIV-CHE Last 16 or QF on the cards, ugh.
Cannot say they did not deserve it though because at this highest level if you cannot big Sheriff, you do not deserve to be in group stages.
For a club like Sheriff, even reaching the group stage is already a big victory. For reaching the group stage, decent prize money is already relying, which definitely motivates the teams very strongly. The sheriff is definitely the opening of the season for me, let's see what they will be capable of next, but I think that it will be much more difficult to play in the group.Young Boys were more fortunate with their rivals, there weren't enough strong rivals in their way, such as Monaco. By the way, Shakhtar coped with Monaco, although the beginning of the match looked very difficult for them. Unambiguously Monaco looked stronger, attacked more, but this was not enough to win at Shakhtar. I told, that Shakhtar is a strong team and they always play to the end.
I bet you the prize money already they will get for Champions League group stage is already more than worth the entire squad (or maybe minus their first two most expensive players).
I never heard of them but happy to welcome a new player to the biggest stage of them all!
while the draw will also announcement who the best UEFA player of this year, the following players is De Bruyne, Jorginho, Kante
2 players from Chelsea and 1 from Manchester city. ( I will bet for Kante), no doubt he is a player who creates Chelsea as Lion of this year

@blue Snow this will be a tough call because De Bruyne helped city win the league title, and Kante helped Chelsea win the champions league. However if it were to me then I would give the award to Kante, because he’s one of the best player in modern football and deserves this award.

I agree!!! 
Of the Portuguese teams in the competition, it was the one that was in the worst group!
If you manage to finish third it will be great! But even that place will be hard to reach, you have to play really well. We'll see.

I don't think Benfica has a chance and we won't see any success this year. They are in a very difficult group, it will be difficult for them to beat Dynamo Kiev. If they draw against other teams, maybe they can advance to the next round.
I'm wondering which teams will go to the next round in Group F the most at the moment. Manchester United will go to the next round comfortably, but we'll see how the other teams do
It was the draw for the group stage of the Champions League.
I think group A and group E are two groups that will probably be very competitive.
What do you think?

Group A looks so juicy and those matches between Manchester city and PSG will be like 2 finals already at start of the champions league. Plus if Cristiano Ronaldo joins City it will be again a great battle between Messi and Ronaldo
. Paris Saint German will be looking to take revenge on Man city while Athletico de Madrid will also want to revenge on Liverpool and Manchester United too, on Villarreal. 
Clearly Group A was the joy to hold, we will watch great games there. Club Brugge must be devastated after this draw. Group E was also pretty good, Bayern and Barca is on the same group. I think the weakest groups were F and G, they are more like Europe League level teams. The last of all Group C will be the most competitive group and we will watch the toughest games there. All teams have similar level and everything can happen. Borussia Dortmund is the favorite but their place is not secure. Sporting became champion in Portugal after 18 years, Ajax is like a factory, they have promising young talents. Beşiktaş is the best and only Turkish side and can beat all odds here. I'm patiently waiting for first matchday.
Indeed Group A games will be very tight ones and those 3 teams should not lose a single point against unlucky Brugge.Group B is also interesting since teams level are pretty close: ATM, LFC, Milan +/- Porto.
Group C matches will be very Unpredictable except maybe for Dortmund but we all know how laggy they are.
Group D, E and H winners shouldn't be hard to tell tho.
Group F and G teams are close enough to know precisely the favorite teams to pass.
Group E
Benfica was very unlucky
Benfica was very unlucky

Benfica got lucky to even pass PSV to the group stage. I dont think Portuguese teams can do something big this year in the champions league. Maybe in the europe league or confrence league they can go far

For Groupe E the top dog it must be Bayern despte that they are not same with Flick and its level fluctuates like Barcelona, as it also did not enter the market strongly, but the favorite remains for Bayern Munich because of its attack, which got Lewandowski and him alone equal to Griezmann, Brathwaite and Aguero together,
I did not say Depay because Depay is the best in the attack Barcelona. As for the defense, Bayern will walk between the defensive streets of Barcelona, and finally the center of Barcelona is good with the presence of Pedri and De Jong, but with the disaster Busquets, the midfield remains fragile, so Bayern is the leader in the group and Barcelona is the second in the group

last season real madrid was in the same group with inter this time again real madrid is in the same group with inter, Is a lot of coincidence
talking about other groups:
the group A
frankly City is in a very bad situation, I say this by leaving aside PSG who are strong, the other two teams are teams that for some strange reason have done well in the champions league at least in the group stage they can win City, I think City won't be able to move to another stage
In group B
What the hell was liverpool unlucky? most of the time that some team that is my favorite team plays against Porto and Atletico tends to my favorite team to lose the game
Group C
Sporting will have to show how strong they are to be able to pass in this group
Group E
Benfica was very unlucky
Group F
Manchester united definitely got lucky to be in that group with these teams
Group G
no comments, these are teams that I haven't watched many of their games
Group H
Chelsea and Juventus are guaranteed

Group A should be really fun for Manchester City and PSG. Actually, I was hoping to see them clashing this season again but this was not what I wanted. I hoped to see them in the final stage or right before it. Leipzig shouldn't be underestimated of course. If I'm not wrong, PSG and them were in the same group in the last season also. But this time, PSG are even more powerful with Lionel Messi. Poor Club Brugge. They have near zero chance for even qualifying for the Europa League.

I think that the toughest group is group B. Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Porto and Milan all are powerful teams. Atletico Madrid and Liverpool are the toughest ones of course And I'm expecting Liverpool to end the group stage at the 1st place. And Atletico Madrid shouldn't have much problem to end as the 2nd. It will be hard to decide the 3rd one. Milan are really strong and I think they can finish above Porto.
That is very strong group and there will be plenty of good games in it. I am thinking Porto will take couple of important points here.I am also very interested in PSG & City group. Two biggest favorites to win Champions League both in the same group. That will be mouthwatering clash to chow us actual strength of these two giants. Can't wait for the first game between them.
Group B has really become a hell of a group this season, because the clubs in the group are almost all big teams from different competitions, in my opinion Group B will also be very hot and also worth waiting for because it brings together the champions of the champions league season 2018/19 Liverpool, who won the Spanish League in the season2020/21 Atletico Madrid, and the runners-up in the Portuguese League for the season 2020/21 Porto and therunner-up italian league last season AC Milan.
A group - City - PSG will be hot, but Leipzig is also capable to fight.
B group - Probably most ballanced group. Liverpool and Atletico are favorites probably, but Miland and Porto is also powerful.
C group - 3 similar level teams and obvious underdog Besiktas
D group - almost same group like last year, just Gladbach replaced by Sheriff. I hope it will be same interesting like last season
E group - as Barca fan I fear of Bayern, but I think we are capable to beat Benfica and Dynamo at least.
F group - repeat of last Europa league final, plus Atalanta. But I think it's not bad group for MU.
G group - is it Europa league or what? This group looks most difficult to predict.
H group - easy life for Chelsea and Juventus.
B group - Probably most ballanced group. Liverpool and Atletico are favorites probably, but Miland and Porto is also powerful.

FALSE.I think group A and group E are two groups that will probably be very competitive.
What do you think?
group D would be really interesting to watch ..
the underdog shaktar that always makes big teams like real madrid struggled could make another year another surprises...
moreover everyone seems would taking a chance to bet on the unexpected sheriff a Moldovan side to feature in the #UCL Group Stage for the first ever time in history and get through of this quite predictable group.
i would also taking my chance
I don't see any of the groups stand out more even i see every team is in a fair place with major competitors and underdogs, also don't forget some teams from La Liga and Serie A are not as strong as last season that's why I said the team's position seems fair enough. If we talk about the chance of winning I predict they will come from group A, E or H the team in this group has a lot of potential.
