The impressive performance of Real Madrid deserves to go with the trophy this season, but what many are thinking will be the barrier to their victory is Manchester City, but to me, I can say that Real Madrid will surely win the trophy, although all how you rank those teams up is looking more like a sure prediction because it might work that way, and Barcelona deserves their position. You put them as the 6th because of their poor performance this season. I see no reason that Barcelona will even think to reach the semifinals because their performance is not up to the standard, but we can’t just conclude.
Inter Milan and Arsenal performances are all the same, but if you compare with effective consideration, you will see that Arsenal performance is somehow more than Inter Milan, but I believe more in Inter Milan than Arsenal. The positive you kept Bayern Munich as the 3rd is also ok because they are also trying their best to maintain the standard, but they should never think of winning the trophy, which is very heavy for the team.
That's an interesting perspective on the potential outcomes of the season with Real Madrid being the most favorite due to their performances and the challenges posed by other teams. They are surely the favorite to win the trophy this season with their strong mentality and their recent performances, but I agree with Manchester City being their barrier, because Manchester City have more complete squad.
Regarding Barcelona, reaching the semifinal will be great for them due to their poor performances this season. Xavi's track record in Champions league as manager is also not so good. But I think they should have better chance than Arsenal, because they have a better mentality and history than Arsenal. Inter Milan as a finalist is well-rated in the list, because they have not improved much nor declined. Bayern should also be one of the favorites, but they seem to not having improvement from last season except replacing Mane with Kane.
