I think the final match will be Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich. City is indeed very strong in the Champions League and they are also the defending champions. De Bruyne's injury had a big impact on City's game and we know last season they won the treble with a big role from KDB and Haaland. So I favor Madrid vs Munich which will be the final match. I put City in third place and Barcelona in fourth place. I think everyone should not forget Barcelona because they are also one of the strong teams in the Champions League even though their current performance does not make them one of the favorites to win this season.
I don’t think that the likelihood of such a final is high - firstly, the teams can meet at earlier stages of the tournament, and secondly, they are not favorites. Take a look at the bookmakers' odds on who will reach the final:
Manchester City 1.96
Fc Bayern Munich 2.58
Real Madrid 3.19
Arsenal 3.68
Now the quotes are a little distorted because City have the easiest opponent of all possible and we can say that City are already in the quarter finals, but in any case they are the favorites of the tournament and in order for us to see the final without them, someone has to knock them out. I would like to believe that someone will succeed.
Why's Arsenal on this list? They're not the side to leave there,I'd rather want to see Paris Saint Germans.
Real Madrid with that odd because they have no good enough striker. They're still my favorites to win regardless.
Bayern Munich are good I just double doubt the impact Thomas Tuchel can bring Into Bayern Munich and the players, Manchester City yet again Buzzing with the return of Kevin De Bruyne back. He's already made a great impact right now in this game. They have a very good chance of defending but I won't support until they do win.
Why not Arsenal? I know the team have been facing tough times with losing on three consecutive occasions in the English league, still, they stand a better chance of getting through to the finals.
Manchester city may be abuzzed by the return of KDB, but am sure more matches prior to their UCL fixture will focus and speak of his performance having returned and facing the pressure to reproduce instant results.
This is UCL, arsenal almost never had a good move in UCL. I would prefer to get another club like intermilan which was placing as runner up last season. It makes more sense rather than arsenal. Arsenal was also failed in europa league last season. What he said above was actually true about that. It doesn't make sense to put arsenal in and it seems like that bookies were missing intermilan which is still very consistent at the serie a . Arsenal is starting to decline too and this is also supporting my opinion to say that arsenal deserves no spot to be favorite to win UCL this season.
I would prefer to replace it with intermilan but it looks so strange to see bookies were doing it. Im ok with bayern and real madrid to be placed as the most favorite clubs to win UCL but arsenal?
Is this a joke? You forgot that if there was a worthy candidate to be placed as the strong club from serie a. Intermilan may make it again to go to the final in the future. Im only saying based the fact. Intermilan qualified to the final and it was losing against city.
It means intermilan was worthy enough to be picked as strongest contender for the UCL trophy along with madrid and munich.
