Pep Guardiola’s assessment of the UEFA Champions League contenders seems spot on. After Manchester City’s elimination, he pointed to four teams that have a strong chance of winning the title: Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, and Barcelona. Of those, he acknowledged that Real Madrid is the favorite, given their consistent history in the competition.
It’s interesting to hear Guardiola’s thoughts, especially considering his side’s high standards in recent years. The Champions League is still wide open, and it seems like Madrid’s pedigree, along with the strong form of teams like Liverpool and PSG, will make this season especially exciting.
Do you agree with Guardiola’s picks, or is there another team you think has a shot at lifting the trophy?
