What I am surprised at is why Manchester City is the number one according to the bookmakers because to me, I see Real Madrid having a better advantage of winning UCL that Manchester city and I do3need anyone to tell me that.
However, I believe that no one is perfect and as time passes by the odds will be changing na sed on the performance of the clubs. I think it will be another victorious season for Madrid because of the superb squad in their team, it will be difficult for any club to win them.
Just think of it as a trap. Lol
Real Madrid is indeed better than Manchester City, but Real Madrid is not always expected to win the Champions League title. It could be so that people don't say the Champions League is boring because of Real Madrid's dominance in winning the title, so bookmakers will consider Manchester City as favorites for other reasons.
I'm not saying Manchester City is the first favorite, but City deserves to be favorite because of the depth of its squad. They have a good coach like Real Madrid, but Madrid is built on good confidence in this competition. The strong mentality that the players have is something that other teams, including Manchester City, don't have, that's one of the reasons that makes Real Madrid difficult to beat.
