Not sure about Barcelona and PSG will be there until the final stage, especially about Barcelona which seems like Barcelona's performance will still not be much different from the results they got in the previous season too. But for Manchester City, of course I personally still believe Pep Guardiola still has a very good ability to make Manchester City go further. Also about Manchester United, although the chance to get the title is very low but at least Manchester United has a good chance to get to the quarter-finals, maybe.

Aren't we talking about possibilities, so what's wrong with having Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG and a few other teams as teams that will reach the final? Every Champion League participant has the opportunity to win a ticket to the final even though in fact they will have different opportunities. Barcelona have grown better since being coached by Xavi, so they shouldn't be underestimated even though in the last 2 seasons they couldn't qualify for the quarter-finals or higher.

Manchester City also have a possibility, but I believe they are a good team to be called the favorites next season. There are still several other teams worth considering, like Bayern Munich, Napoli, Inter and others.

I can say currently Manchester City is the only team we know they can have hope for the next Champions League title with Pep Guardiola because they are still in good form and they could stay stable and keep the main players they need for the next season. Also, Guardiola is improving the team and we can see even stronger Manchester City in the next Champions League season.

In fact, PSG last season had star players in all positions and not just in the attacking position. But yes, it looks like PSG management might think that if they have a squad full of star players it can make it easier for them to win the Champion League title. But unfortunately, it seems like it is a wrong assumption because after all, even though they have a lot of star players but they also need time to build chemistry between players to get better. Moreover, when PSG has many star players but their coach is not used to leading a star squad, so PSG efforts still fail in the Champions League.

You may be right about PSG, I also see that as one of the reasons why PSG failed in the Champions League. PSG obviously have a good chance because they have a lot of star players, but the relationship between the players is not as expected. Messi is very uncomfortable at PSG, that's because he doesn't get as good support as he did when he was with Barcelona.

After all, PSG is not very good at several positions such as midfielder and also defense. PSG need creative midfielders who never give up and are highly experienced in the Champions League competition. While they have some midfielders like Marco Verratti, Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz, Carlos Soler, Danilo Pereira and Renato Sanches, but none of them have ever won the Champions League title in their career. So of course these midfielders don't have the good mentality to win the Champions League title.

We can't talk about PSG yet unless we see a few games from this team in the French league and we pass some weeks because Enrique just started working there and he didn't even buy all the players he needs, that's why the teams in not complete yet and it's too soon to talk about PSG's performance in the next champions league.

Current performance from Barcelona is not impressive in UEFA Champion League after failure in group stage last two season, I don't think with promising performance from Xavi Hernandez teams next season due will get bigger or competitive teams in group stage drawing. Still has possibility for Barcelona in the same group with Bayern Munich, its difficult for Barcelona qualifying in group stage after last season loss in home and away match against Bayern.

Although have been confidence performance as La Liga winner last season, seems not enough thing how diffiucult faced by Barcelona qualifying from group stage. PSG is not in my favorite teams list for winning UEFA Champion League next season, losing Lionel Messi and not clear yet with Mbappe future is strong reason PSG is the weakness teams in for winning UCL tittle.

Compared to teams like Real Madrid and Machester City, Barcelona got fewer investments and we can't expect to see them spending huge amounts of money and buying superstar players for the Champions League, but still, they have Xavi coaching the team and this can be an advantage for them. I think Barcelona can still have a chance to win the title in the next Champions League.

Barcelona has a good team for the upcoming season and a good one. I think they will go far in the champions league but i dont think they will be able to win it next to teams like Real Madrid and Man City. Barcelona cannot buy a lot of players due to their big debt and can only sign players for free.

Even in the last season because of the financial problems Barcelona had and they couldn't buy many expensive players, some people were thinking they won't be able to race for the title with Real Madrid in La Liga and they don't have a good coach like Ancelotti in their team while time after time they got better results and win the La Liga title I think if they improve themselves in the transfer window they can even race for the champions league title and they have high chance for it.
