I rather agree that Manchester City and Real Madrid still cannot be determined who will get the victory in the coming season, and who is the best who will get the champion, although Real Madrid brings in very good and potential players not necessarily have free space in the UCL, something unexpected can happen on the field without us predicting at the beginning.
I don’t see the bookies favoring any team here if you ask me, the two clubs both Manchester city and Real Madrid are the best teams in Europe currently, and they deserve the top spot. You see this odds sometimes are not just a thing that anybody will sum up most of the time they usually involve computer calculations for things involving each squad depth, and seriously Manchester city have that squad to go all ahead.
As for Real Madrid no one can deny their position, there are always the team to beat before you get to anything like winning the champions league, even Pep Guardiola once said that they are the favorites as long as they have not been knocked out, when Manchester city won it, it was them that they defeated, same with Chelsea year of triumph too.
So it may only be computer speculation that is programmed in assessing a team, but how does the computer adjust a development on a team, of course there must be certain factors that become the calculation material so that it can have a conclusion on the assessment of a team.
If we look at the Champion League, indeed the spotlight is Real Madrid and also Manchestter City, the two teams are indeed a favorite to get a victory in the UCL, it is no longer a view that can be hidden, if not Real Madrid who wins then most likely Manchester City.
I will be very curious to see if there is a new challenger in the UCL that can keep up with these two teams.
