Sometimes in the Champions League the determination of the team to be played against is also quite influential I think because sometimes there are some strong teams that must be faced even in the early stages. For example, when Madrid met PSG in the last 16 and indeed this would be like a big match which would indeed be a pity if one of the two big teams was thrown out early.
As for Chelsea at this time they still benefit from the opponent they have to fight because even though they are a strong team but in UCL they are not very superior.
Anything is possible in the champions league, but Bayern and City are the favourites. Initially I also had PSG on my list, but they are gone. I also think that Ajax also has a claim to the title, they are underestimated and they also have an ideal opponent in Benfica, they played 1-1 away and are now finishing it at home. Real Madrid is a dangerous outsider.
Obviously now City and Bayern still idolize them a lot but I am a Madrid fan and now their chances are quite big especially the confidence after eliminating PSG now.
Ajax is currently still in a positive trend in the UCL, even though they have never lost until now.
Benfica are still a good team but now I think they should be ready to take their suitcases and come back early from the Champions League hunt because I'm sure Ajax will win this game
