The UEFA Champions League group stage draw came through with the high-profile matchups that fans wanted to see. Group B is simply jaw-dropping, with four continental powers — Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Porto and AC Milan — while tournament favorites Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain were drawn together in Group A. Now all that's left is for Cristiano Ronaldo to actually transfer to Manchester City as rumors suggest. If he does, it would set up a tasty showdown against PSG's Lionel Messi and Neymar. It's Champions League trophy or bust for both of those clubs. Bayern Munich (Germany) will face Barcelona (Spain) and Chelsea (England) will lock horns with Juventus (Italy) in the other eye-catching matchups from the draw. Manchester United and Spain's Villarreal will also meet again in a rematch of the 2021 Europa League final. Lastly, in a highly improbable scenario, Inter Milan (Italy), Real Madrid (Spain) and Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine) were drawn into the same group for the second straight edition. All group-stage matches will be played in the six prescheduled windows: Sept. 14-15, Sept. 28-29, Oct. 19-20, Nov. 2-3, Nov. 23-24 and Dec. 7-8.
