Yes, all teams still have a big chance of getting through the group stage. The system applied this year is a little different, giving small teams the opportunity to move forward and be consistent in facing this competition. Manchester United and Tottenham are the favorite teams who are candidates for champions every season, but After going through several matches, both of them seem to be really declining so that the small teams are getting more enthusiastic and the European league is getting more interesting.
After finishing the preliminary round, which team will enter the semi-finals, we can then determine which team will be the candidate as champion.
There are still many things that might happen and at least we have to wait for the group stage to end to see which teams have a chance to reach the semifinals or finals. Tottenham and Manchester United may be the ones to consider, but there are many other strong teams that may have a much greater chance or opportunity to reach the final. Sometimes what is predicted does not go well because the strong team has problems playing and it was the same as last year's final where Atalanta took advantage of the moment to beat Leverkusen who performed so impressively in the Bundesliga.
That is what am seeing ahead of some teams in this competition, because those teams some people think they will get to semi final or final will bring disappointment to their fans at the end, because many small teams are coming up with a strong strength to overtake some teams in this season. Since Manchester United are not yet to be constant in winning in their matches, I don't think they will get to semi final stage, because Tottenham are still showcasing some good performance that will make them to reach final stage. But if you have the experience of the tournament, you can predict in a particular team to win the title and it will come to pass, because you have seen their performance from the beginning of the tournament and their current position in the table, which are some of the keys some people use to consider the team to win the title of the season.
