Manchester city are the first favourite, they are playing on another dimension ever since Erling Haaland was signed,then there is real Madrid who has history, experience and luck in this competition then we have Bayern Munich.
The supporters of Manchester city have high hopes for Haaland hoping that he will be the one to help break pep's champions League curse. I think it is possible as well judging from how well he has settled into the team. Manchester city going against any other team have a high chance to win because they have always been a goal scoring chance creating team and with the addition of Haaland, who can convert like 8 in 10 chances created, i don't see any team being able to stop them, except their own over confidence.
Yes, so far no one has really been able to break Haaland movement or all of Man City front lines. This time Pep Guardiola has a very ideal formation and it is always the most effective formation with any opponent. Haaland glory is starting and this season can be a hope that can be realized if Pep and his main squad can be consistent with each other. The Champions League has always been open to Man City. Maybe this season, Man City fans believe that the current achievements can give extraordinary results.
Haaland is one of the most shining players this season maybe even for the big European leagues he is one of the most shining players in terms of performance.
It's really difficult when players of Haaland's caliber are added to City's current condition, it is indeed for the opposing players to stop their movements and almost can't.
With Haaland's Brace against Copenhagen, he is level with Lewandowski and Mbappe at the top of the Champions League top scorers with 3 goals.
