Very interesting draw, here are my thought and prediction on the groups.
Group A: A very balanced and interesting group. Atletico should come on top and I think BVB will propably be the runner-up. However, Monaco and Brugge both got quality and can upset thing on a good day.
Winner: Atletico
Runner-up: BVB
Group B: A tough group, Barca and Tottenham will be favorite but PSV and Inter are two good team who could take advantage of a bad results.
Winner: Barca
Runner-up: Tottenham
Group C: Very tough group, PSG will be favorite but Napoli and Liverpool are both quality club who could make them problem and will fight hard to make it to the knockout round. Don't expect much from red star.
Winner: PSG
Runner-up: Liverpool
Group D: Pretty open group, with no real favorite for me. The saddest part about this group is that whoever finish top or second will have very little chance of winning in knockout phase...
Winner: Porto
Runner-up: Schalke
Group E: I don't expect anything to stop Bayern from topping their group. Ajax and Benfica will then fight for second place.
Winner: Bayern
Runner-up: Ajax
Group F: City and Shakhtar cannot get enough of each other it seem. City should win relatively easily and it will be between Shakhtar and Lyon for the second spot.
Winner: City
Runner-up: Shakhtar
Group G: Similar to group E and F, Real should top their group relatively easily. However, unlike the previous group, the second team is obvious to me.
Winner: Real Madrid
Runner-up: Roma
Group H: Juventus will be favorite of the group and United will have to be wary of Valencia. Also, come on, Ronaldo vs Man United? This have to have been made on purpose.
Winner: Juventus
Runner-up: Manchester United

group b: spurs vs barca, the catalans love meeting teams from london. almost every ucl, its either chelsea, arsenal and spurs this time.
group c: tuchel vs klopp, assistant vs teacher :))) I think klopp is more heavy metal tho :P
group h: ronaldo back again to OT, so much change in utd, his career is so long that the utd's no 7 has changed many times lol (valencia->dimaria->depay->alexis). expect fergie to be watching this one somewhere in the stands.

Group A:
I think Atleti has to much experience to not win this, and perhaps Monaco can top Dortmund but I'll give the edge to the latest
Group B:
Bad luck for Inter put I can't see them beating Barca and Tottenham. Not easy first place for Barca either but they should manage.
Group C:
Group of death perhaps. Always difficult to judge your team without being biased but anyways. I see Naples as a very good team with an excellent manager but PSG and Liverpool are excellent teams with perhaps the 2 best front lines in football right now. As for first place, though call but i'll give it to PSG because of experience (player wise, not historically obviously)
Group D:
For me, the weakest group but the toughest to predict... I believe the Germans can top it off and Galatasaray be runner up. But i wouldn't be surprised if any of these clubs comes out of the group :)
Group E:
Bayern seem the big favorits here and Benfica's experience should be enough for second place. Ajax could surprise Benfica though.
Group F:
Again, clear favorite in City. Second place I give to Lyon although all three team can go through.
Group G:
Pretty straight forward here in my opinion.
Group H:
Juventus should top this group, but I believe Valencia can take out United on away goals or something.

@tuan Yep, lots of them are hard to predict and I wouldn't be suprised to see big offset in those. So many quality team that have gone far or played against each other in recent year as well.

LOL, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't make it out of group stage. This is gonna be a another boring season for us.

UEFA changed rules for the top 4 leagues so theres no qualifiers if you finish 4th. Either in EPL, Spain, Germany and Italy (Infantino) in an effort to have more stronger teams and make the group stages less boring.
This also changes the seeding of the groups so that the stronger teams can be in different pots.
Stronger teams will just get richer and group stages a walk in the park. I don't see any surprises anymore in the UCL with this current format.

PSG never gets an easier draw, not the in group stage and especially not in the playoffs where we always get Barca, real madrid or bayern munich. Nonetheless, you have to beat the best to be the best.

This is the first time in 7 seasons that PSG don't get a group that is a walk in the park. Would have been strange if they didn't get a difficult group by now. I agree with the knock out stages, even though it's mainly due to PSG finishing 2nd in the group stages. (except for last season)
Speaking of lucky group draws:
18/19: Lokomotiv, Porto, Schalke, Galatasaray
17/18: Besiktas, Porto, Monaco, Lepzig
16/17: Leicester, Porto, Koebenhavn, Club Brugge
15/16: Chelsea, Kyiv, Porto, Tel-Aviv
14/15: Porto, Shakhtar, Athletic, BATE

I actually think PSG might be a good dark horse to bet on this year, last year I said they were overhyped but now that hype is all gone. Juventus is being fully hyped now because of Ronaldo. Personally, Ronaldo didn't exactly his 2 balon'dor performance wise, and I think Bonucci is quite overrated. Don't think they will do it this year.
Valencia and Inter are both interesting, but experience is key. Spurs 2 years had 0 experience but they should get there ahead of Inter. United are crap at the moment, but I'm thinking they can nod it over Valencia. Valencia seem like a good team that you can't get cocky about though. They will come to your place and get a result. Only need to ask Atletico and Real Madrid.

Here's my predictions:
Group A:
It would be a surprise for Atletico not to top this group but Dortmund and Monaco should put a good fight for the 2nd spot
Group B:
Will be happy to see Inter in Europa League. Expect a great two games between Barça and Tottenham
Group C:
Very unfortunate draw for the Serbian side. I wish they'd end up in a group where at least they'd get a Europa League spot. No more than 2 points for Crvena Zvezda. Whoever finishes 3rd in this group will be a Europa League contender. Hopefully they'll not draw Beşiktaş at Round of 32. Because 3rd team in this group will probably be unseeded.
Group D:
What a lucky draw for Galatasaray. Porto once again gets the Turkish team and they are a consistent qualifier as 2nd.
Will this be the first time a pot 4 team winning a group if Galatasaray wins it, while the pot 1 team is at bottom?
Schalke of course will fight for the Round of 16 spot.
Group E:
Expecting a perfect record for Bayern in this group. Maybe at least 16 points. Considering Benfica's last year performance, I give them a less chance than Ajax but still they're a Portuguse side so possible 2nd place is in the air
Group F:
Tough one.
Group G:
Yes, this one is easier to predict. The clash between CSKA and Plzen will decide who's going to Europa League.
Group H:
Manchester should put up a good fight for the qualification. They have the quality but expecting Juventus to finish at top. Valencia has more chance in Europa League than being eliminated in Round of 16. I have no idea how the Swiss side's gonna react during the games

PSG never gets an easier draw... Nonetheless, you have to beat the best to be the best.
It was the same with Man City for a few years as they had to lift their coefficient. Gotta have a consistent run over 2-3 years and get to pots 1 & 2.
Also Other English teams like LiverPool, having missed the CL for a long time doesn’t help the top seeds also.
Speaking of lucky group draws:
18/19: Lokomotiv, Porto, Schalke, Galatasaray
17/18: Besiktas, Porto, Monaco, Lepzig
16/17: Leicester, Porto, Koebenhavn, Club Brugge
15/16: Chelsea, Kyiv, Porto, Tel-Aviv
14/15: Porto, Shakhtar, Athletic, BATE
loll 😆
Come on!

PSG never gets an easier draw
Well, this year at least you got 2 teams that might be challenging, but PSG should get 1st. Previously it was 1 team that was big and the question was more about, who will get 1st, PSG or the other team, like Arsenal/Bayern/Real. Now it's likely PSG will get 1st. Napoli are overrated and Liverpool aren't super good in the group phase.
I honestly think this is PSG's biggest chance in the CL. All the big teams this year are in pot 1, unlike last year, so I guess you might be safe this year until the Quarter Final. And yes, to be the best you must beat the best. I wish your team luck.

That's the exact same prediction as mine except Group D lol. Well they do say great minds think alike :)

Liverpool is definitely not going to be easy. Their spot in the final last year is a proof of it.
But I am still relatively confident we will reach the playoffs. Even if Napoli shouldn't be underestimated.
