The Champions League hasn't started yet, how can you say Real Madrid and Man City won't meet before reaching the final? Indeed, most people think that it is better for them to meet in the final because they have almost equal performance so they don't eliminate each other in the quarter-finals or semifinals. That makes the competition very tense if it happens in the final between Man City and Real Madrid, but don't forget about Bayern Munich, the club. This is also still a title contender in the UCL.
Not only do we think that Man City and Madrid are the strongest in the UCL, it feels unfair to clubs like Bayern Munich, Milan, Inter Milan and Dortmund which are a club that reached the final last season, we also need to give these clubs the opportunity to provide fierce competition at UCL.
