only candidate from La Liga that looks more convincing is Real Madrid because in terms of performance Madrid players are better prepared to take on every match in UCL. on one hand, there are other goals in january Ancelotti will improve any existing weaknesses and replace players with new, more talented players. on the one hand, we have admitted that Barcelona does not have visible readiness for UCL match, so it is certain that the only viable candidate is Real Madrid.
but if we talk about candidates from other leagues, Man City is still the favorite as long they still have Haaland City opportunity is still wide open to win the title and regarding De Bruyne, Guardiola already has a way to find the right player to replace De Bruyne.
Seeing how Real Madrid can overcome its toughest opponents in Laliga increases the confidence of the Real Madrid squad to also perform well in this competition and indeed between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Real Madrid looks more convincing in the Champions League, and together with them I also see Bayern Munich is one of the teams that can go further and even reach the final, and Manchester City will still be the favorite here too, and of the three teams Inter Milan will probably also be able to go quite far, but who will be the champion is yet to be predicted because many things can happen, such as what happened to City who had to face difficulties because their mainstay player was injured for a long time whereas Kevin de Bruyne has been a reliable attack organizer in several successful seasons for Manchester City.
