Since Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are the favorites for this cup, we can say that they are the strongest teams for the UCL championship. Harry Kane has been playing brilliantly for Bayern Munich so far. Of course, there is a possibility of winning the cup. He plays in a team that can even win the UCL cup.
Real Madrid remains the favorite even though they do not have a productive striker this season. Rodrygo, Vinicius and Bellingham can be relied on, even Joselu can occasionally help. I don't mind when someone thinks that Real Madrid has weak points that need to be addressed, it means that Real Madrid is not perfect and needs to improve.
Bayern Munich and Manchester City are certainly better teams than most of the Champions League contestants this season, but if they know for sure that Real Madrid is still the king of the Champions League, they 100% need to be wary of them. I'm optimistic about getting to the final, but this task will never be easy without the best strikers.
