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.
For Leipzig, beating Manchester City will be as important as winning UCL. Manchester City are currently the single favorites of the cup in my opinion. It is very difficult for Leipzig to stop them in these qualifiers. However, it is not right to speak early for an unplayed match. We will comment again after the first game. My favorite is Manchester City.
