Manchester City, PSG and Bayern Munich are strong teams and they are always on the list of candidates to win the UCL. But we must not forget Real Madrid, the Spanish capital team are the defending champions in the most prestigious competition in Europe.
A strong team is always placed as a Champion candidate, but only a team that is able to maintain its quality of play will be the strongest candidate. Manchester City and PSG are still trying to get the UCL trophy, these two teams are also looking very good this season.
Real Madrid still has ambitions to defend the title, they are able to keep their performance on the winning track. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich must try even harder to compete with other teams, because their performance in the Bundesliga is not stable.
Almost on every season Manchester City, Bayern Munich and PSG are in the list strong team candidate to win UEFA Champion League trophies but the end Real Madrid the dominance and success become the winner. Still remember with the candidate list for UEFA Champion League trophy last season there are not have Real Madrid for becoming candidate to win Champion League, but Madrid success break out all predicting after defeating many bigger team from 16 round until final stage.
Drastically different in this season, I think team list above have changed performance actually with Manchester City and PSG dominance in last 2 Champion League match and domestic league, but I think can't remove for Real Madrid on their first named list become the winner in UEFA Champion league this season.
