Guardiola has a lot of experience... in defeat 
If I'm not mistaken, he is already a record holder or close to first place among coaches who reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Moreover, he always did this as a favorite and almost always lost, hehe. Therefore, I don’t know how good he is in this regard, as paradoxical as it may be to say that he (or his team) does not have a champion’s mentality. I will always remember the season before last when Real beat them and it was clear from the faces of the City players before extra time that they understood who would win.
Pep Guardiola holds the stronger hands this season. Reaching the quarterfinals does not appear challenging for Manchester City; they are the most significant club in terms of performance, constantly rising to the top and refusing to stop until they have finally hit the jackpot by winning major trophies. Manchester City has risen to prominence as the UCL's reigning champions. Pep Guardiola has a distinct ratio with his opponents, who have been awarded with good scores. Pep Guardiola is the best coach in the EPL, having led Manchester City in the past and current.

There will be none to stop it. Intermilan is also being favored as strong candidate to win UCl as well but the odds quite strategy to put arsenal among the strongest team while this club never won UCL. It was not also able winning europa league last season. Overrated club. Manchester city still holds the biggest chance to win the competition.
Pep has been fully preparing his club now. The thing will be even easier for manchester to win the competition as long as other big clubs will be losing against it. Everything is changing so fast.
