According to Opta Analyst, currently Manchester City remains the favorite to win the Champions League with a 32.29% chance, followed by Bayern Munich and Real Madrid below with quite a large margin. In fact, it is natural to favor Manchester City to win the Champions League title again this season considering that they still have the same squad depth as before and Pep Guardiola even continues to update his squad by recruiting several other talented players.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich is indeed a bit of a threat after they managed to acquire the services of Harry Kane since last summer and this is proven by the productivity of goals scored by the English player. However, what is quite surprising is that Real Madrid is still included in the top 3, even though they don't have a great striker for scoring goals and mostly they only rely on the magic of Jude Bellingham, Vini and Rodrygo to score goals. Apart from all that, if Manchester City can win this title back to back it will be a good record. Even if Bayern Munich wins this title, it will certainly be a good record after the last time they won it in 2020 and it would also be the first champions league title for Harry Kane. However, if Real Madrid can win the title this season without a mature striker, of course that will be the result obtained thanks to the winning mentality they have had so far.
Damn, my focus was going to the manchester united. It's quite interesting to see how MU has zero chance to be on the first. Look at manchester united. It has the lowest chance to go to the 16 stage. Manchester united is also has biggest probability to finish at the 4th place as well.
I hope united will be out. Galatasaray is much more better than united at this moment. That's pretty interesting to see turkish club will be going even further to the 16 stage.
Im thinking about MU will be out caused by it will be losing against galatasaray away. This will be a disaster for all of MU fans. I can't even relate how this analsys was giving bayern and madrid the same chance to win the UCL.
City's chance is not that big. The club has not yet faced the big club in the UCL. The performance from city is still remain questionable at this moment.
Im thinking madrid shall become the potential team to win UCL after city.
Manchester United failed to produce the results everyone wanted this season and in fact they are more likely to be eliminated than to qualify for the last 16. This was all because of the bad results they got when they failed to get full points from Galatassaray and Copenhagen in the first and second rounds. Now the remaining two matches will be against Galatassaray and Bayern Munich, if the Red Devils want to qualify then they have to beat these two teams.
In my opinion, the chances of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are quite fair because these two teams have several things that they can bring to win the Champions League. For Manchester City the real test is when they enter the quarter finals to the semifinals and if they can advance to the final round it is likely they will still be champions again. But on the other hand, Real Madrid is still a worthy candidate to win, but they can do that if Manchester City is eliminated first.
