Real Madrid are always the favorites to win any champions league season. Regardless of what analyst may predict. Especially man city being the favorites to win this season. Football is not won based on analysis. We all watched Bayern lose to lazio in the ucl. Man city are not capable of winning the champions league back to back. They would lose to weaker team in this champions league campaign
The chances of each team will be different in the Champions League each season. It all depends on the depth of the squad, the team's performance and its best players. Real Madrid has some of the most decisive players, they are Rodrygo, Vinicius and Jude Bellingham. This makes Real Madrid the favorite and overall Real Madrid has a squad that deserves to win it.
Apart from Real Madrid, I think Manchester City is a team that also has a high chance of winning the Champions League title this season. Pep Guardiola plans to defend the title, but so far only Real Madrid has been able to do so in the last decade. I hope Manchester City and Real Madrid won't meet quickly in the Champions League this season, they might deserve to meet in the final instead of the quarter finals or semi finals.
Today's match is no less interesting.
Napoli vs Barcelona
Porto vs Arsenal
Barcelona is the 4th team to qualify for the round of 16 this season from La Liga. Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid have lost the first legs against PSG and Inter and they will have to decide their fate at home in the second leg. Meanwhile, Barcelona has a good chance of winning the first leg but the team's less consistent performance made most people doubt them. Interesting to look forward to, I think Barcelona will win.
