Talking about favorites, we already know the team that will reach the important stages in UEFA Champions League this new season. You're absolutely right about picking Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. The Seria A clubs putting up stunning performance this season in UEFA CL, and other elite competitions. Last season, we had three clubs from Seria A that made it to three finals, and they all got defeated and went home without a single trophy. I guessed this season will be different one, expecting Inter, Juventus and Napoli to pulled a competitive race for UEFA Champions League this season.
I totally agree with your insightful thinking my friend.
Also for me these strong teams you mentioned are the best candidates to win or at least reach the final stages of the UEFA Champions League. We will see, but i think yes.
Hmm, I think at least half of the teams listed are nowhere near favourites. I don't think Barcelona are strong enough to even reach the semi-finals, just like Bayern, who are not in the best shape at the moment. Real Madrid are the kings of this tournament, there is no point in arguing against them. As far as I'm concerned, Manchester City are the favourites.
