Manchester city is trying so hard with all their current performance at the UCL and Premier league, discussion hey have caught people's attention so much that they are gradually becoming the favourite for most people both in the UCL and premier league but then until after the knock out stage then I could possibly say for sure if they do have a chance at the UCL again this season or not.
It's true that it's been rea history to find a team getting the UCL title back to back, but it doesn't mean it's not possible, it's very possible and Manchester city may really want to do such but then this UCL is very competitive at this time with the likes of Arsenal who won them in the premier league if they should meet again at the UCL they are to encounter another difficult moment, there are so much to fave this season of which if they can get through, they could possibly make history with the UCL. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and other bigger teams have to exit before Manchester city can be sure again with the UCL.
If City could win the Champions League again this season it would be a great achievement and I'm sure Guardiola would really like to achieve this goal. But it’s not so easy to do, I see how strong Real is now, I think that if the lot allows this to happen, then Real can meet City in the final and it would be a great final. As for Bayern, Arsenal, Barcelona and other teams, they all have weaknesses that I think will not allow them to reach the final, although the example of Inter in the last final shows that sometimes a luck can allow not the strongest team to reach the final (but Inter were good).
For the time being, the only candidates for the clubs that will get Champions League trophy again are Manchester City and Real madrid, but I also not ignore Barcelona and Bayern Munich who are currently just trying to be consistent to get additional scores in the group table.
However, this does not mean that other club will not get opportunity to become candidates for Champions League title, such as Arsenal, who are currently very enthusiastic about continuing to win and Arteta club has the advantage in every match even though they have been defeated once.
Maybe we will never know who will succeed in this Champions League, but what is certain is that we still have confidence that Manchester city and Real madrid will likely continue to chase the title.
