Yes, in your opinion, Man City is still the strongest team. Most likely, they will maintain the throne this season. Why do I put Bayern Munich at the top of the list? Simply put, this season, they showed that their ambition is too great when they are willing to spend a lot of money to get a top striker, Kane.
Barcelona is playing very well in all competitions. It's no surprise if they are their championship contenders. As for Real Madrid, they need essential strikers. As their players recover, they will gradually stabilize the squad. And this is just the beginning of the season. There will be many surprises ahead.
It cannot be denied that Manchester City's performance in the last few seasons, especially in the Champions League, has always been good and it is very natural that they are favored in every season to get the trophy.
But in this case we also cannot be completely sure that Manchester City are able to secure the current defending champions because of the fact that for the Champions League after Madrid who won 3 trophies in a row in the 2015-2017 season after that there is still no single club that is able to go back to back for the Champions League because sometimes football always displays surprises in 90 minutes of the match.
This season Manchester City are still quite strong, they have a pretty perfect squad for this season. Their balance of strength is quite well organized from the front line to the defense line. So it is very natural that Manchester City is quite superior this season. But there are always surprises and it is very likely that Manchester City will have to be able to appear in their best form, whether against a team that has equal strength or another team.
Real Madrid too, they are still considered a fairly strong team this season. Even though Real Madrid doesn't have a quality striker this season, they have Bellingham who they can rely on in their game. Maybe their strongest competitors are Bayern Munich or Psg this season, but we could be presented with a surprise team who is able to show their best qualities.
