I find it strange that the bookmakers have never put Real Madrid as the favorite to win the title in recent years, while they have won the title 3 times in a row and last season they were also the best. That is mainly thanks to Benzema, but the team has enormous willpower.

Maybe the bookmakers have never favored Real Madrid because they have won the champions league many times but almost still use the same squad. On the other hand, even though Real Madrid is still filled with veterans such as Bernzema, Modric and Kross, the presence of these 3 senior players can increase the confidence and mentality of other young players. Meanwhile, Manchester City may have better and better quality squad depth, but they all don't have a winning mentality like that of Real Madrid, that's why Manchester City has always failed in the Champions League and have never won this competition.
