The CL restarts in a a week and a bit and I believe this is the most open tournament for a decade. I don't think there is an outstanding team this season. Bayern have tactical issues and Madrid have balance issues. Madrid also might be missing players for a hard quarter final.

I have not seen PSG this year, but there are so many teams that could beat each other on any given day. Madrid, Bayern, Barca, Atletico, Chelsea, City, probably PSG and call me crazy even Dortmund have a shot at winning it this season.

So who do you think will win it?

Hang on a minute il get me crystal ball out

















Real madrid
 
I think Bayern are favorites, followed by Real who are in poor form right now and Barca.

Then there's teams like PSG, Chelsea and Atletico.

No one really expects us to go all the way but they would have dreaded going against us. I think once we're in better form and we've successfully gotten past the barca hurdle we'll shake things up.

I like your optimism,but unless we improve significantly I fear we could be on the end of a hiding....

That's the the thing. Bayern's record against the top teams this year has not been particularly good. Madrid are missing Modric really badly. Why would Madrid be favourites against Atletico?

Most years the favourites were usually noticeably stronger than the rest. I just don't think that's the case this year. 8-9 teams are of a similar quality.

City could easily beat Chelsea, could easily lose to Atletico. Madrid could easily beat Bayern, but lose to Chelsea. There is no stand out favourite for me and it could lead to a surprise winner.
 
I agree with the OP, there is no one team who stands out as being 'the best'.

Anyone could win it, including us.

I actually think Chelsea will win it. Their style is designed for the CL.
 
A.Madrid can frustrate any team and with a bit of luck they would be Champions rn.
