UCL have promising and favorite clubs that are nominated to win the league every season, though these selections do changes but I'm quite aware how difficult these clubs can find their path to win matches. This season, I would vouch for the UCL title to go to Spanish clubs because they're in good shape. Consequently, Manchester City are the reigning champions and they wouldn't give up so easily when it comes to elite competitions. Pep Guardiola have the morale to explore the performance of his club in every UCL and top phases they found themselves, no relenting efforts because they've bounce back to glory.
Manchester city is a very good prospect for the champions league this season, when it comes to the champions league Manchester city usually have a different kind of approach which may be different from their premier league performance so I sometimes don't bother to make comparison with their performance at the premier league to seeing how well they will do with the UCL.
The Spanish teams especially Real Madrid is really fighting hard for the title this season so they aswell have good chances because they also have the experience and the Spanish teams are more amongst those who were able to get pass the group stage which looks more like a reason they have a bigger chance at the trophy than the English or the German side who has got just two teams that made it pass the group stage of the league. I wouldn't be surprised if a Spanish team wins the trophy this season or Manchester city wins the trophy again because they are both experienced and have got the ability and strength to be able to get to the finals and win the trophy as the case maybe.
