There is almost nothing different but here Real Madrid is much closer to Manchester City and makes both of them always on the same track to be able to win the Champions League. If we still remember Manchester City is always above Real Madrid with a large odds difference and this time Mbappe's arrival has changed the bookie's perspective where Real Madrid is much more promising after having a striker.
However, if we talk about the final, it seems that it will still happen again considering that luck will always accompany them no matter the strength that is quite far from the superior team and as long as they fight as hard as they can, it is possible that these teams can return to the final. But I'm curious if that's possible, I want to see Liverpool in the top match again.

As of now, Real Madrid and Manchester City have almost the same strength and performance. As far as the Champions League is concerned, I can’t say all the competitions because they always get where they focus more, so now in the Champions League, to be sincere, I don’t think there is much difference between Real Madrid and Manchester City's performance. These two clubs are currently the toughest teams in the league, which makes it kind of difficult to say which of them will be the champions of the league. As for Liverpool, I don’t think they can do that because Real Madrid and Manchester City are stronger.
