But their performance has improved a bit after being in the UCL, they played well against their opponents. Manchester City will try to achieve success this season, I know it's not easy for Guardiola, the player material currently owned makes Manchester City still in the ranks of the favorite team.
Manchester City's next match is against Leipzig. Leipzig is a relatively weaker team compared to Manchester City. So the possibility of Leipzig being eliminated in the round of 16 is very low. Moreover, Manchester City is in very good form right now. I would say Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid will be the favorites to win this season's Champions League.
These 3 teams are indeed the favorites to win the Champions League title this season, but we'll see if they can continue their impressive performance in the Champions League or not. Because in the Champions League, opponents who are considered weak can actually surprise them. Leipzig is indeed weaker than Manchester City, but that doesn't mean they can beat Leipzig easily in their meeting this time. Leipzig could be the team that will give them defeat.
