Real Madrid and Manchester City and Bayern Munich could qualify for the next round, although in a way that may not be so easy, because the three teams are actually still equally strong when facing opponents who are not quite on par with them. However, after the round of 16 was completed and the round of eight began, that's where many predictions and speculation were born from many people who would say which team had more potential to win the title this season in the Champions League.

One of the fixtures for the UCL round of 16 between Arsenal and Porto is more of an average probable game. Both teams are likely to win. Although Arsenal are a better side judging from their EPL performances, to their group stage performances too. Porto themselves aren't doing so bad in their league and they've got good track record in the group stage. That's why the game is going to be a little bit tough to predict the winner, well let's see if Arsenal would be able to comfortably win them and qualify for the next round.

 Arteta's Arsenal are young, vibrant and victory oriented too. They won't want to give off their chances at the trophy just so easily to Porto. They're a side more likely to put up a fierce contest and make the game tough for their opponent Porto. Maybe or maybe not, Porto will be able to endure the strength Arsenal would put up. Arsenal are to some extent technically better than them still.

Manchester City have always come out from the group stage in near perfect result this to me is because they are always lucky to get drawn in an easy group either it is group of Porto and other less competitive clubs or a club like Leipzig and the same less competitive league. So I don’t actually count there group stage success at all. Madrid on the other hand usually comes out scrambling from the group only to get better in the later stages. So this season performances isn’t just there yet help us judge who will be crown the champions as I will leave my predictions till after maybe the round of 16 to see how each of these teams will perform.

On current form though I will have to say both clubs will definitely be heavy favourite to win it. Other contenders can be Bayern Munich who I think they have improved since the arrival of Harry Kane although there is still an imbalance in that midfield and defense of theirs that against a better opponent they will suffer against if they don’t find a solution to it

We still have a good number of games just before the finals and before then, any thing can still happen and any team can be seen making it to the finals so it's not restricted to a certain group or set of persons or a team to win the champions league more often but to those who have got the form and the stamina to compete and win the trophy.

Manchester city stands a very big chance to the fact that they have a very good team with a good squad depth and their injured players who were away for sometimes which contributed to their set back for awhile is now back and the likes ok Kevin de bruyne is already playing and so far his impact has been felt in the team and their performance aswell, it's very possible they will be able to defend the trophy again this season ant that will be them winning the trophy twice in a roll a good record to set. Bayern Munich isn't as experienced as Manchester city and Real Madrid but they have got a good and strong team aswell who also got a very good team depth so let the best team win.

We will find out once this competition restarts, which team is the most consistent. talking about Real Madrid and City, no one doubts it. In fact, I'm more on City's side if Pep Guaridola's squad returns with a complete squad. I argue based on the assumption that supporters are neutral, without any tendency to side with one team because of emotions. This is purely a personal assessment, with the existing squads of both teams. plus, the individual stability of each player. however, when on the field, there is no guarantee that City will play impressively even if they play their core squad including Haaland and De Bruyne. In football, there are many possibilities that occur, including teams that were not initially considered or were not strong contenders in this competition.

Likewise with Real Madrid, so far they have performed impressively in their domestic league, but we will find out how well the team is doing as a whole when they play again in the last 16 phase and beyond if they manage to qualify. This is not because Madrid has a wealth of experience in the Champions League, but currently Real Madrid is dominated by a young squad. It could be that Madrid is indeed strong and capable of winning the Champions League trophy this season. It could also be the other way around, if they fall before advancing to the final round. There are also other teams, which are ready to face these two teams when they meet next. even though it could be said their chances are small, football is unique. that a strong team will not always win the match. but as I said above, if I am allowed to assume and speculate based on personal judgment. City remains a strong candidate to defend its title. but if I hope, the team that is my favorite in this competition will be able to overthrow Real Madrid and City if they meet. OK, so let's just enjoy it.

The upcoming UCL final will be both exciting and difficult owing to how everyone is anticipating the encounter. Some individuals have even mentioned teams that could leave, such as Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Real Madrid, but we cannot compare those two teams to Bayern Munich. Because Bayern Munich's performance is not as powerful as it once was, they must improve; nonetheless, if these two clubs, Real Madrid and Manchester City, meet in the UCL final, it will be a tough encounter on that particular day, as both teams have been informed.

Nevertheless, if I may make a prediction, it would be Manchester City to become the season champion. This isn't because I have something against them; rather, it's just based on their present performance, which makes me think that way.

Why does it look boring if Manchester City wins the UCL trophy again this season. In terms of strength, they are still sufficient and all their lines have quality players so they will be ready to advance to the final this season. If a team can balance its performance in every match by winning, isn't that their strength to win the trophy again? Manchester City swept all the matches in the group stage by winning and that shows how strong they are this season.

Of course, only two teams performed perfectly by winning every match they played, of course those two teams were none other than Real Madrid and Manchester City. These two teams are the strongest compared to other teams this season, even for Bayern munich, they are also believed to be able to fulfill their hopes of reaching the final this season. The opportunity for Manchester City may be quite big this season because Kevin return to the team will make them strong again this season.

It is funny that you don't want Man City to win the UCL title although you are the fan of Man City.  
Real Madrid looks strong enough to win UCL title this season, but Man City also has the chance to win it. Man City still has quality squad, they are very capable to defeat any team in UCL. Moreover, the injury players of Man City have recovered, only Haaland who is still injured. So, why you must exclude Man City from the candidate of UCL winner this season?

If we consider the squad depth, Man City also has good squad depth. They also have experienced players and coach. There is no different with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. So I still believe that Man City also still has the chance to be the champion.

Real Madrid are good when it comes to champions league. I don't really understand why you said it will be boring if Manchester City win the championships league. When real Madrid won it 3 times it wasn't boring right? I'm not surprised because you are a supporter of real Madrid. But for me I would love to see Manchester City and real Madrid play the UCL final.

However, Arsenal could also be a disruptor or obstacle for other elite clubs in terms of winning the title this season even though some people have thought and assumed that Real Madrid could win the title again this season after its failure last season. However, in terms of comparisons between clubs from England and clubs from Spain, of course there are always very fundamental differences because both are in their respective local leagues with very different levels of pressure.

Experience works here but you have to also put in mind that the best team always win in the end. If Real Madrid won’t be in their best and allow Manchester City to pass through, they will win the title for another time in two consecutive seasons. This is football, an unpredictable and interesting game to watch, so you can’t tell the team that will make it to the finals over the other.

I will really love to see Real Madrid and Manchester City finals this season of the champions league, that will be the most talked about and most anticipated match if it happens this season. Let’s not forget that Bayern Munich are still in the picture of the Champions league and they are also potential contenders for the champions league trophy and they also have experience in the game like the other two clubs.

Doing the comparison and checking out the present form of Arsenal, they don't match because they're our of line and can't not do the impossible as other elite clubs. Don't forget, we have elite clubs that don't stand a chance of winning a major title in years to come. Arsenal and Real Madrid are completely different team and both of them have huge differences when it comes to football patterns. Real Madrid are tough and experience, they have good records when it comes to winning the UEFA Champions League title without any atom of struggles, they're also enlisted in favorites to win the title this season.

Manchester City's performance is very good, so in my opinion, I don’t think Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are going to be problems for Manchester City, although I obviously know that these two teams are very good and their performances are going well. But I think Manchester City is quite doing well when compared to these two teams, which are Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. However, Gaurdiola is a very good manager; he has different strategies for his squad when playing, and it always favours them. Therefore, I think Manchester City will be challenging for these teams.

Again, Manchester City winning last season doesn’t mean they won't be able to do better and win title again. We know that the reason why these teams have been shining since the beginning of the season is due to the absence of Manchester City key players. Now that they are back, everyone is saying that they will be the favourites because we know that if Halaand and Kelvin De Bryune are around, the Manchester City squad is good to go.

Of course Arsenal and Real Madrid can never have equal chance of winning the CL, Arsenal have never won it and Real Madrid have won the tournament more times than any other team. I know they also consider current performance of the clubs, but even if that is the case, Arsenal are not having a better season than Real Madrid. As a matter of fact i don't think Arsenal has any chance of winning the CL this season, this is their first time back into the competition after a long time, it will be an uphill task for them to just show up and win it, no chance if you ask me.

Yes, you are right, here are the quotes I see:

Manchester City 2.82

Fc Bayern Munich 4.90

Arsenal 6.37

Real Madrid 6.37

Paris Saint Germain 12.74

Barcelona Fc 16.66

Month ago they were:


As you can see, the quotes of the other clubs have not changed, but Arsenal improved their quotes at the expense of Barcelona 
Apparently, the destruction that occurred in the final of the Spanish Super Cup for bookmakers served not as an argument in favor of the fact that Real has become stronger, but as an argument in favor of the fact that Barcelona is still weak.
But the fact that only Asrenal absorbed the points that Barcelona lost is quite funny.

Back-to-back title is quite possible for Manchester City when we think about it on paper. Because technically they have one of the best squads in Europe now. And they are playing according to Guardiola's really solid system as well. However this task is still going to be quite difficult for them at the same time.

The reason why is that they have really challenging opponents such as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Manchester City won the title for the first time in their history previously. It would be really challenging to retain the title against these more experienced teams.    De Bruyne and Haaland are needed as a duo for Manchester City from now on to increase their chance.

If you think Manchester City winning the Champions League title this season will be boring, I think you only said it for the love you have for Real Madrid or because Real Madrid have been doing very well in the league so far, while Manchester City are just getting their performance back since the return of some of their key players. If not, Manchester City winning the Champions League title this season is still a good thing, and it’s a very big achievement for the team because they only won last season.

So if they try and win the title this season again, I don’t think it will be the case because they deserve the title this season. However, both Manchester City and Real Madrid are doing well in the Champions League, and both of them are looking for these tidbits so we can decide, yet there are still more matches to be played. Furthermore, Real Madrid is not the only experienced team in the championship league. There are other teams also, and Manchester City is also among them since they won the title last season.

He will be very difficult for Manchester City to win the Champions League this season, and I am very sure Real Madrid can get the trophy this time, because how Real Madrid is performing this time is very great, and Manchester City need to wake up and win Real Madrid again, because Real Madrid will not like Manchester City to defeat them this time when they join each other in the competition. Ancelotti will do everything he can to win the Champions League this season after making blunders last season that cost Manchester City the trophy, while Guadiola will want to win another Champions League for Manchester City.

This season, Real Madrid will not cheer for them because no one believes Real Madrid is the favourite to win the Champions League, because even last season, many people believed Real Madrid would win the trophy when they played the first leg against Manchester and it ended 1-1 People thought Madrid would win Manchester City at home but they failed to do so, because if Ancelotti did not make mistakes, I believe Madrid can win because they perform very well in the first leg let see what will happen this season If they meet again.

I think Xabi actually was doing an impressive job as at earlier this season they had a very wonderful and brilliant performance which cut across every of the leagues in which they found their self this season, especially in their domestic league where they did stayed unbeaten for few weeks until after the el classico the worse of their performance came forth.

Currently Barcelona is struggling in their domestic league so I doubt if with their present form they will be able to thrive in the champions league but then they are at a little advantage in the fact that Napoli isn't in a very good form either so if Barcelona take advantage of Napolis current form to their advantage, they will be able secure a win for their first leg in the round of sixteen which will mean a greater chance to get into the next stage but then I fear beyond the round of sixteen Barcelona may crash out so it's almost Needless getting pass the stage.

Indeed, when viewed from the existing standings in domestic competitions Inter are currently still very favorable in terms of performance especially since they will also now play home for the first leg but on the other hand the performance on the field could be different.
These two clubs haven't met for a long time as the last time they met was in 2018 at the ICC (correct me if I'm wrong) and the squad has been heavily reshuffled in this regard. Currently Atletico also have Morata who certainly knows how to play from Inter because he has been at Juventus for so long that this could also be another advantage for Atletico.

Sociedad can still make some surprises especially with PSG's fate sometimes not too good in the last 16 if you reflect on the previous 2 seasons I think this could be another advantage even though we know that PSG in the previous 2 seasons faced strong clubs but it could be that history repeats for La Liga clubs where surprise clubs can get to the semi-finals like Villarreal before.
Currently PSG is still very dominant but that does not mean they can win easily against Sociedad.

It is overconfident to confidently say Inter will return to the final this season because after all, even if they win this match, it does not mean that the quarter-finals and semi-finals can be easily obtained.
In addition, another reason is that currently compared to Inter the probability of other clubs such as Bayern, Manchester City and Madrid is much greater to enter the final.
It is possible if they can win against Atletico in this round of 16 but on the other hand we also cannot be completely sure they can win in this round of 16 because Atletico is also now different when compared to them last season.
