Finally, all the groups have been drawn and we know who's playing whom in the Champions League. We go group-by-group to pick the favorites and more.

[Kylian Mbappe](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231388/Kylian-Mbappé) or [Erling Haaland](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/253989/Erling-Haaland), and [Casemiro](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/173666/Casemiro) joined [Manchester United](/soccer/team?id=360), but they are still a formidable team that knows how to win this competition. [Ukraine](/soccer/team?id=457) while the country is at war with [Russia](/soccer/team?id=454), a situation that means Shakhtar will have to play their home games at Stadion Wojska Polskiego in Warsaw. The rest of the group is up for grabs, and Celtic, RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk will all have an opportunity to qualify. Both games will be emotional night given what is happening in Ukraine, but Shakhtar, which reached the last 16 in 2018, are not here to make up the numbers and will give Ancelotti's team a tough examination. FC Salzburg will embark upon their fourth consecutive group stage campaign and boast a forward line led by [Benjamin Sesko](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/289155/Benjamin-Sesko). [Real Madrid](/soccer/team?id=86) last time out, who have since signed defender [Antonio Rudiger](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/169438/Antonio-Rüdiger) on a free transfer. [Harry Kane](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/142200/Harry-Kane) and Son Heung-min -- who know what it takes to thrive in this competition. You can expect Liverpool to be back to their best once their injured ( [Diogo Jota](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/208133/Diogo-Jota), [Thiago](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/195354/Thiago), [Naby Keita](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/196567/Naby-Keita), [Joel Matip](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/134659/Joël-Matip) to name just four) and suspended players ( [Darwin Nunez](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/271788/Darwin-Núñez)) are back and once their defenders are willing to defend again. They've had a shocking start to the season, with three defeats in three Bundesliga games and a loss in the German Cup against a third-division side. Porto will play with intensity and with confidence and will be difficult to play against, basically the complete opposite of Bayer Leverkusen. They seem to still be searching for their identity, and as a result, their attacking game is still a work in progress. It won't be easy for Klopp's and Spalletti's teams, but I expect them to go through with Ajax in third, while Rangers will get points on the board but not enough to make it to the Europa League.
