I support City retaining the title if they deserve it. Just look at how City was last season, they didn't give Bayern Munich and Real Madrid a chance. This season, City still has the same chance, especially if the core players in Pep Guardola's team squad do not experience injury problems. Nevertheless, we agree that defending the title in this competition is not easy at all. The reason is, every coach must prepare his team when they are about to play a match against their opposing team. There are only a few opportunities, in two meetings the competing teams must show their best performance. If they lose, it means they failed to advance to the next round. Plus, the meeting in the final round is a life and death match. There is no second match, if you lose it's over. That's why, I prefer to say that this competition is very much related to luck apart from team depth, mental readiness, performance and so on.

For me, City meets the criteria and has a high probability of that. In every season, there will always be surprises like Intermilan that is not a favorite at all. Apart from that, a strong team does not guarantee that it will win every match. however, because every coach will prepare his team to fight as best as possible. that's why, the probability of a strong team is higher and is also always the favorite. but it would be better, let's just watch and watch every match that will be presented in this competition. Anything could happen, especially since the last 16 of the Champions League hasn't started yet.Moreover, I would be very happy if one of my favorite teams entered the final in this competition. Even though I actually realize that my favorite team's chances are not as big as Manchester City and Real Madrid. but ok, the most important thing is that we are entertained by the beautiful games of modern football.
