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.
Actually, I understand your Arsenal stance. I wouldn't write them off despite their struggles. They're tenacious after losing three straight in the league and could surprise us in the finals. Kevin De Bruyne's return boosts Manchester City. He had a big impact, but football can change quickly. City may be at its best, but UCL is different. At Bayern, I'm undecided about Tuchel. The Bayern coach is good, but whether he can maximize their potential is unclear. How it ends intrigues me
UEFA Champions League is different that's why a club like Arsenal cannot go far, all of these things they did during the group stage was just for the main time. How consistent can they do that? They're not the club in the Champions League to fight for sthay trophy. They're bottlers and should make sure they go about trying to win the Premier League Competition.
A bit surprised to see that how intermilan has been unfavored this season to win the UCL and bookies put arsenal in which was not understandable and that's my took from the result of this. Arsenal never had good run in the UCL. This club has no UCL trophy and this season there are so many strong teams in UCL. Im doubting arsenal to go to the semi final. Arsenal was not a club that has winning mentality in any of prestigious competitions. What you said that above was true and i strongly disagree with this.
As a better and i just try to realize the fact that if real madrid and city are the most favorite but arsenal? what? Arsenal's performance in the EPL has been disappointing, as they have been unable to secure a victory. The club is still far from being of champion in UCL.
Arsenal was always failed in the europa league which means that if UCL's level is still far higher compared to the arsenal. People were being very delusional to think that arsenal can win the competition. This club is going to go out soon.
It's only a matter of time till we will see arsenal to be veiwers of UCL like us. I think that it doesn't even matter how much money being spent by the club but it's about how the club has winning mentality.
Real madrid has owned it all. The most powerful club in UCL this season.
Last season Arsenal got dumped out of the European Europa League Competition by Sporting Lisbon, Yeah? They'll be facing another Portuguese side this time in the Champions League knockout stages ( Porto ) who are we know are pretty good at home. I know that home game would a be hell for Arsenal to go through and it'll be difficult winning that gane when you lack a top goal scoring player in between.
You're right, I believe the bookmakers are purely English and they promote clubs from the English Premier League Competition very well.
They don't have what it take. Just like you've said Inter Milan who went as far as to the Champions League finals last season are nowhere to be seen? They also have the best attacking system in Italian Seria A. They should be ahead when it get to the favorites for the Champions League Competition.
