The Champions League always presents surprises, so it is difficult to predict who will win the trophy this season, we will wait to see how the draw for the quarter-finals turns out first. Manchester City, Real Madrid and Arsenal should be considered as the main candidates, followed by Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Barcelona, PSG and Atletico Madrid.
I really don't classify Arsenal as one of best candidates to win Champions League. Manchester City, Real Madrid are best candidates and I even think Bayern Munich belong to this group.
Clubs like Arsenal, Barcelona, Dortmund will have less chance to win as they have less experience or have worse squads than these best candidates.
All the teams that have qualified for the quarter-finals are the strongest teams so far, even though some of them are not very consistent in their Domestic League, but we have seen that some of these teams are able to create surprises, experience and mentality in dealing with pressure is very decisive in Champions League.
Being qualified for quarter finals, it is not true if we say any team are a weak one. They are strong enough to go to this round and knock out matches provide weaker team chances to win against a stronger team in one or two direct matches.
Arsenal are even stronger than Barcelona and they are a best underdog in quarter finals.
