On paper, Manchester City can be seen as the biggest favourite for the Champions League title. In the end, they have a more completed squad at the moment. Haaland's arrival will help them become closer to the title compared to the previous season. But we need to see their performance against the other big favourites as well.
This is all just a theory because in the end the result of the match will be the best decision to judge who deserves it. I support Manchester City and also believe in the ability of the players, but in the last few seasons I have been really disappointed about the result. Haaland is expected to be the difference, but anything can still go wrong.
Guardiola needs to focus on getting his players well-prepared for this kind of matches this time.
The draw will be tomorrow, I'd be happy Manchester City didn't have a strong opponent but it's always possible to come up with a challenge early on. The next problem is, Guardila has to give up some of his players to compete in the world cup, this will make some different feelings for the team coach because every player is always injured while defending his national team. But since the last 16 will take place next year, there is a lot of time and preparation to look forward to.
