3 ESP teams, 2 ENG teams, 2 GER teams
{NO ESP civil rivalry} and {NO Man City-Arsenal} and {NO Bayern-Dortmund}, what is the probability?

All possible combinations: 7*5*3=105
NO ESP civil rivalry: 5*4*3=60
NO ESP civil rivalry and NO Man City-Arsenal and NO Bayern-Dortmund: 60-6-6=48

the probability is 48/105≈46%

this time should be correct

Let's do this:

Bayern-Dortmund
Barcelona-Madrid
City-Arsenal
Atletico-PSG

Leverkusen-Benfica
LFC-Westham
Roma-Milan
Marseille-Atalanta

That's a lot of same country pairs. The maximum.

I want:

Arsenal v Manchester City
Atletico Madrid v PSG
Real Madrid v Barcelona
Bayern v Dortmund

My ranking for Bayern and BVB:

Atletico
Barca
Bayern/BVB (German tie)
Real
Arsenal
PSG
City

I expect the "German draw magnet" City. If we avoid them and maybe PSG (too often, and tricky) I would be satisfied.

Atletico
Barca
Bayern/BVB (German tie)
Real
Arsenal
PSG
City

You think PSG are the 2nd best team? And Arsenal over Real Madrid?

[BurningStorm]

Can not complain!

Arsenal a tough nut to crack, unlike in the last ties many years ago, but hopefully London is a good destination for Bayern again. Dortmund against Atletico, best draw, because others are even more difficult. Bookies should give Atletico a small advantage in the odds, I expect a close tie.

Real - City, also very nice.

[Dniprovec]

So just like last year: "strong" bracket vs "weak" bracket.

[Firnen]

This is a dream draw for Atletico Madrid, I think they will be in the final.

[BurningStorm]

Oh no, Bayern would face probably City in the semi final if they eliminate Arsenal. But with Real you never know... Dortmund against PSG or Barca if they eliminate Atletico.

My ranking for Bayern and BVB:

Atletico
Barca
Bayern/BVB (German tie)
Real
Arsenal
PSG
City

I expect the "German draw magnet" City. If we avoid them and maybe PSG (too often, and tricky) I would be satisfied.

You think PSG are the 2nd best team? And Arsenal over Real Madrid?

No, but Dortmund lost there in the group (and lost the H2H), the other two would fit them better, especially after watching Real's performances against Leipzig. And Arsenal needed the PSO against Porto.

Regrets can only grow for Inter after this draw: the final was absolutely reachable for them with such a bracket!

So just like last year: "strong" bracket vs "weak" bracket.
