This season will be the same in my opinion. Even the early favorites like PSG, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester City aren't guaranteed to reach the final. The Champions League always brings surprises, and Chelsea, who are currently in rapid development, could be the surprise package in this season's Champions League. We'll have to wait and see.
It's indeed more difficult to predict who will win the Champions League this season, because PSG, who were initially expected to dominate again, have actually performed sluggishly. In fact, in their recent matches, they have not been very dominant and have only earned a few points in their domestic league. Meanwhile, Real Madrid and Barcelona have also performed quite well so far, and I feel that both teams have a higher chance of winning this season compared to the others.
Several top teams have similar percentages, such as Manchester City and Liverpool, and they shouldn't be underestimated. However, I'd like to emphasize that defending the Champions League title isn't easy, so I'm slightly ruling out PSG this season.
Real Madrid is also a bit questionable, as their early season performance hasn't been impressive. So, I have little doubt that they'll be a fierce contender in this season's Champions League.
