At the moment, is becoming clear that Manchester City will still take the trophy in that season and the reason being that, the club have been on a run up in all measure matches since the last 9games and that to a large extent is going to tell have the club performance is going to be in the next few matches to come, this is what we have to look out for in whatever discussion we have and at whatever time.
Even though there have been a few pockets of decline in performance in the last few days, it still seems that Manchester still maintains the most formidable team and also can deliver at each of their matches.
Manchester City may be your favorite club but they are not exactly invisible this season like they were before. This is the champions league we are talking about, it’s not a farmers league. I think it is still early to call Manchester City favorites to win the trophy because there are other top teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich who also record one hundred percent success rate in the champions league.
The strongest candidate to win the trophy along with real madrid and bayern munich. I don't really see any other strong candidates besides these clubs. City, Madrid, and Bayern are the favorites to win the trophy this season, proving that this is not a farmer league. My reason is caused by there have been major improvements that happened in the club. It will be so good to see city face a strong club in the next stage. Manchester city may still try to continue the result from the previous season as city was perfectly winning the trophy. Pep is trying so hard to keep city in the same track this time. There are no lots of change happened in the club. City is still 90% with the same players like the previous seasons.
Manchester city no doubt are really the first choice to win this year champions league again but like you said Bayern Munich and Madrid can really pose a treat because the Bayern of last season isn't actually the same because this team has evolved alot from their scoring of goals because of their recent signings and their is also the case of Bellingham and Madrid, this team also is another strong contender with the brilliance of vini jnr and Bellingham, Madrid can really pose a treat in the champions league.
