Still too early to make any solid predictions but I assume the usual teams will be in the latter stages of the competition. The likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Inter, Bayern Munich.

I hope Liverpool do better this season in it, we only lost on penalties to eventual winners PSG. We will be stronger now with Frimpong, Wirtz and Kerkez signing. I think we will sign a striker too. Arne Slot means business.

And then you write off Chelsea, Napoli, Manchester city and Arsenal from the list. What a way to disrespect these teams that have more often shown a strong competition in the champions league whenever they are in attendance. I wouldn't want o underestimate any team right now till the season is in motion and the league stage has gone a long mile. In the season when PSG won the champions league they had to finish bottom in the league stage and no one ever thought they can rise as champions. Don't be amazed if none of those teams you listed above reaches the semi finals or the final.

I do not know what he is thinking, but I can certainly say Chelsea and Napoli will not win UCL, not at all. Arsenal? Maybe, if they can finally turn the team into something better, which they really need to, but that doesn't mean we are going to see these teams do well, and Arsenal may not be doing that great neither if they do not make any changes.

So the best way to assume the winner, is to look for the usual suspects and that is very important difference, we are going to end up with a lot better result if we do that. Obviously this isn't some great prediction because almost every year the same teams win, and while PSG is a new winner, they were always big on UCL and constantly higher up, so it was expected.
