In other words, Madrid is also not what you say City is. because the problem is, Madrid doesn't have a number 9 player. As for Joselu, he is not at the level capacity that Madrid needs. If I misinterpreted your post, I apologize for that. but for us, there are actually several candidates even though they haven't shown their true performance. At least, let's just see until the last 16 stage of this competition. some teams are quite strong, even though their mentality and performance have not gone well. It is possible that, along the way, some of the teams included in my category list will begin to display confidence and impressive and solid play. We'll see, because after all this group phase isn't over yet.

And speaking of City, Pep Guardiola's squad still has a high probability of retaining their title last season. for sure, they have a chance for that. although currently, Pep tends to prefer to experiment with systems, patterns, rotations, in several matches played by his squad. It would be very natural, considering that several of their players were injured. Now, only De Buryne still needs to recover. The rest have been confirmed to have returned to join their teammates. But whatever it is, we should just enjoy what this competition presents in the Group phase before heading to the round of 16.
