European Football’s Premier Competition Returns
The Champions League is back, and with it comes the excitement of predicting who will reign supreme. Paris St-Germain (PSG) aims to become the first team to win three titles in a row since Real Madrid (2015-18).
The Contenders
Paris St-Germain:
Julien Laurens suggests PSG will reach the semi-finals but doubts their chances of a third consecutive title, stating, "I think two in a row is already special – three in a row is impossible unless you’ve got Cristiano Ronaldo…" He predicts Bayern Munich and Arsenal as the most likely finalists, with PSG reaching the last four.
Bayern Munich:
Guillem Balague expects PSG to struggle to maintain their form, but sees Bayern as a strong contender. He notes, "As the main axis is there, I expect them to get very close to winning it again."
Arsenal:
Both experts praise Arsenal’s defensive strength, with Laurens predicting them to reach the final and Balague believing they are already on the cusp of the next level.
Other Contenders:
Balague mentions Barcelona, who he believes are flying, and Manchester City as potential semi-finalists, with Real Madrid also in the mix.
