A bit hard for Liverpool to draw itself right?Liverpool are in the 3 weakest teams. Man City would get the hardest semi-final matchup.

3 EPL teams drew the 3 weakest teams.
I don't intend to repeat Juve's error in underestimating Porto, but both at the QF and SF levels this looks great to me
Why go through the mental gymnastics of comparing Porto to the European opposition of their domestic opposition when we can just say Porto won four games in the CL group stage, beat Juve in the round of 16 and shouldn’t be underestimated?You are almost already guaranteed a Semi Final spot. On a pure footballing level, Porto are Burnley level side. Sporting Lisbon are 10 points clear of Porto at the top. Sporting got smashed 4-1 by LASK in their Europa League qualifier during a 22 game league unbeaten run. LASK couldn't qualify from their Europa League group.
However, their style of play might catch Chelsea off guard. They play a very traditional English shithouse 442, mostly hitting it long to big target men, way more direct than even Burnley. They average like 68% pass completion in the UCL because they are so direct. It's hilarious.

Never doubt UEFA when it comes to Real. At least they didn't get Porto.Yet, we will beat Liverpool rather easily, I think. So I'd say that Real Madrid drew one of the 3 weakest teams

Didn’t Madrid draw Man City in the previous edition?Never doubt UEFA when it comes to Real. At least they didn't get Porto.
Go back 10 years and half the time they drew the easiest team or one of the easiest.Didn’t Madrid draw Man City in the previous edition?
PSG's draw is both absurdly bad and very very good.
My reasonning is that with the way they're playing, they have zero chance against Bayern.
BUT, it's also very much why they could finally play up to their standards and be a terrible threat with that speed up front. They have nothing to lose.
Frankly, last year was the only year PSG could say they DIDN'T have a very very tough draw.And then they'll get trounced by City. They REALLY have a tough path to the finals.
They are also beatable if Pep decides to wacky in another big game, here comes KDB goalieMan City is beatable if you score first/maybe keep game at 0-0 for a while if you are really lucky, and can get them out of their shape. If they take the lead it is going to be a long long day. Man City I am glad are on the other side of the bracket because that’s the team you would least want to play over two legs.
It’ll be weird for sure.They are also beatable if Pep decides to wacky in another big game, here comes KDB goalie
Terrible argumentGo back 10 years and half the time they drew the easiest team or one of the easiest.
I mean this isn't Pep's BarcaBarca is somehow an easy draw? Compared to teams that were qualified in the KO stage? Seriously?
And not terrible argument. Obvious argument.
Remember when they had a draw where they got the home leg as second leg in EVERY single round and still drew the easiest opponent possible all the way to the final?
Because I do.
Frankly, ever since the Roma/ Liverpool game was announced a day before the draw by Roma's official website, never again will I doubt conspiracy theories when it comes to UEFA draws.
I mean if this isn’t their year, I don’t know when it is.Seems like I say this every year but I think city will win. One day I’ll be right... right?
