Best possible draw for PSG: Sporting – RB Salzburg – Sheriff Tiraspol
In hat 1, while Villarreal certainly does not have as many resources as the other top names but has proven its worth by winning the Europa League, it is Sporting, the reigning Portuguese champion, which appears to be the team the more affordable. Ruben Amorim’s troop, a formation that the general public knows less, can be a trap but for a team cut out for the final victory like Paris, there will be no possible excuse.

Then, see the finalist of the 2020 edition fall on RB Salzburg, Austrian champion placed in hat three, and especially Sheriff Tiraspol, small thumb of the competition and who has already achieved a feat by obtaining the first ticket of his story for the group stages of C1, should necessarily make Nasser al-Khelaïfi smile.
Worst possible draw for PSG: Chelsea v RB Leipzig v AC Milan
It is difficult to make a choice among all the big European teams that are Manchester City, Atlético de Madrid or Bayern Munich. But it is Chelsea, reigning European champion, still as solid defensively at the start of the season and who has also strengthened in attack, who will surely be the most formidable opponent in hat 1 for the vice-versa. reigning French champion.

The reunion with Thomas Tuchel and Thiago Silva is sure to add spice to this confrontation if it takes place. If they had crushed this opponent (3-0), in the semifinals of the 2020 edition, the Parisians will not want to fall in the group stages on RB Leipzig, a team placed in hat 3 and who does not deny hardly ever his playing principles. Add to that AC Milan, located in hat 4, and it would look a lot like the death squad for the capital club.
Best possible draw for LOSC: Dortmund v Benfica v Sheriff Tiraspol
For a team which took only 1 point during its last participation in the group stage, it is difficult to speak of a “best draw” against teams with much more consistent European experience and references. But in this game, it is perhaps Erling Haaland’s Dortmund that seems more affordable, with a newly arrived coach (Marco Rose), and a collective that could be more friable defensively than a Sevilla FC team. prowled and more robust behind.

Worst possible draw for LOSC: Liverpool v Ajax Amsterdam v AC Milan
With the return of the public, which would promise even more difficulties for the defending French champion at Anfield, Liverpool are clearly the team to avoid. Unlike other hat-2 teams like Real and Barca, which suffered significant losses defensively and offensively, respectively, the Reds have retained their backbone, which allowed them to be crowned European champions in 2019.
With the bonus of the return of Virgil van Dijk in central defense, able to stabilize an orphan team of the injured Dutchman last season, the Mersey club should regain scarecrow status. Lille will not have forgotten that, during their last C1 campaign, they suffered greatly against Ajax Amsterdam (3-0 then 2-0 for the Dutch), and they will want to avoid them all the more. Just like AC Milan, which remains the best armed team with a hat 4 where Wolfsburg and Besiktas will also be to be feared.
