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.
Bayern losing to Lazio by a goal in their away match doesn't mean they are away from the Champions League race because there will be a return leg, where Lazio will come to their home to play them.
It is when they have lost to them for the second them, that's when we can properly say that Bayern has been kicked out of the championship league race. But as for now, their hope is much alive to win against Lazio with more than one goal in their home.
Man city are not capable of winning the champions league back to back. They would lose to weaker team in this champions league campaign
And that weaker team will be which team? Last week, Manchester City had a 3-1 away win against Copenhagen, and two weeks from now they will meet the same Copenhagen in Etihad Stadium which automatically gives them the victory since Copenhagen lost to them at their home(1-3), there is no how they would come to Manchester City's home and think of winning them, no matter how the football tactics they come up with.
