If given a prediction of which four teams will play in the Champions League semi-finals, I think most people would have the same prediction. Manchester City and Real Madrid will surely have a place in everyone's predictions. Along with Real Madrid and Manchester City, Bayern Munich will be among the favorites in the Champions League this season. We can definitely consider these three teams as favorites for the Champions League this season. I think one or two of these three teams will qualify for the finals. I would confirm Real Madrid if they had a quality finisher in their squad but they don't have a quality finisher in their squad at the moment so they may lose their consistent performance in the big games. All things considered, Manchester City can be placed at the top of the list of favourites.

On papers all looking very easy and settled but ground realities are always different with having nothing to do with these predictions which are coming on papers who are going to be in last four nothing is clear as we all know on ground on match day any team can perform extraordinary, and we can have upset which is part of the game and these top teams can face others in quarterfinal as well which is also part of the game so predicting about who is going to be in last four is not easy with all teams which are currently having spots into round of 16 are eligible for the qualification into last four.

Current performance and consistency is surely giving advantage to few teams, but this is not guaranteed about them to be had spot into last four Real Madrid and Manchester City are surely impressive but on match day performance is much important then predicting about this all as we are still having 3 weeks into these matches.

Nothing can be foretold for sure, but some teams can definitely be singled out in terms of performance. I have tried to distinguish four groups in terms of performance. And I believe that the four teams that I have singled out for the Champions League are definitely much better than the other teams that have qualified for the Champions League and the four teams that I have selected will be favored by most of the fans who follow the Champions League or other leagues. However, the four teams that have been singled out have some weak points of their own. As each team has weak points, the competition between these four teams will be almost equal.

Manchester City is the defending champion they will want to retain the title again, Real Madrid could not win the Champions League trophy last season they will definitely try their best to win the Champions League trophy this season. On the other hand, Bayern Munich have made several changes to their team in order to win the Champions League, they will not let any team down.
