Barcelona - 4.25

PSG - 4.25

Arsenal - 6.25

Bayern - 6.75

Real - 7.50

City - 11.00

Liverpool - 21.00

I noticed that even defeats in head-to-head matches against PSG and Real Madrid haven’t changed Barcelona’s status as the favorite for the Champions League title. Well, ok, the numbers don't mean much now (although why is Bayern so much worse than Barcelona?), but for example, City, in my opinion, is greatly overrated (given their problems that everyone knows about) and Liverpool is underrated. Is it possible to profit from skewed odds right now? If I were trying to do so, I would bet against the favorites on prediction markets (it’s unlikely their chances will increase much further).

How many times did they predict Barcelona that they will win Champions League and later got eliminated by teams that no one expect them to beat Barcelona? Barcelona has been ranked as the favourite to win the Champions League since last two seasons and they end up not qualifying to the final, Barcelona did not have experience players to play Champions League, they have good and talented players but they don’t have experience players.

Those young players can not play against a team that is very strong and know how to defend, Barcelona did not have a good defense and if any team want to beat them they use the high line to break their defense, Barcelona only know how to beat La Liga teams, when they play against top teams in the Champions League they struggle, when they signed Rodri people where saying that they can win Champions League, but they are even worst when they have Rodri in their squad, with a counter attack, every team can defeat Barcelona.

But it will take Barcelona many more years to break City’s record -  they were considered favorites for about 10 years, yet managed to win only once, most of the time, their Champions League campaigns ended the moment they ran into Real Madrid.
At the moment, Barcelona’s squad looks balanced, I wouldn’t say they lack experience - it’s a good team. However, squad depth is a concern, as are defensive issues that stem from their tactical setup. Weaker teams may not be able to exploit this weakness, but stronger sides, especially in the Champions League, do so regularly. That’s precisely why it rubs me the wrong way when I see them among the favorites.

If people believe that PSG can lift the Champions League trophy for the third time, that's understandable if we look at their performance in the last few matches. You can see that they've been quite consistent --- they even managed to beat Barca 4-2. However, there are still other matches they haven't played, and other teams can also improve during this period.

So it's actually pretty hard to say whether it will be PSG who lifts the trophy, or Barca, Munich, or Real Madrid who will get it --- we'll just have to see who can stay consistent with their performance. But what’s clear is that this season’s Champions League is more competitive, and for PSG to lift the trophy for the third time, it might not be as easy as last season.

For the time being, why PSG is being seen as the favorite for the league title is because so far in their journey in this year’s champions league competition, they’ve dominated more than any of the top teams that are the best contender for the title, they’ve proven once again that they’re ready for the title challenge and will win it for the third time in a row.

This stats is for the record they’ve shown so far, this doesn’t mean that if they fail to perform optimally going forward, they will still remain the best team for the trophy. Like you said, the competitiveness can change and we can see other teams stepping up for the challenge especially that we are still in the group stage of the competition. For now, they’re the best contender for the title but let’s see what happens after this group stage games.

Sometimes, the number didn't lie, but i'm thinking the numbers are lying to us. How can Barcelona is still topping the out right to win UCL? it's the weirdest thing that i have ever seen after they got thrashed by PSG and Madrid in a row. I think they have to be valued under Madrid.
Beside that Liverpool odds seem quite fair, but i agree City is overpriced. It must be the same as Liverpool.

However, which sites are you using? Mine is showing Barcelona being priced 5.00, which is lightly higher than PSG.

[IceLincoln]

I don't know why many football fans still believe Paris saint Germain is winning this season UEFA champions league, yes they are in a very good form no doubt, but that doesn't give me enough reason to think they're lifting the trophy for the third time in a row, they might seem unstoppable for now, but I believe it won't last till the end, as this is just a group stage match, and they can't be on this form all throughout the season, so I don't still believe they are winning it like many had believe, to me I'm seeing the likes of Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Arsenal, and Real Madrid.

PSG are the defending champions and are performing very well at the moment and they have a totally complete squad. I think in all of Europe they’re the most complete team with enough quality substitutes. The Barça, Arsenal, Bayern and Madrid teams all have a weak side to their teams but the PSG team seems to be the only team that have every position on lockdown and that’s why many think they’ll retain the title.
Barcelona are contenders but if we don’t fix our defensive problems we wouldn’t do much.

[LUCKMCFLY]

There are plenty of reason to consider Barcelona as favorite. The team has been in brilliant form right from start of the season. They won most of their match with big margin. But we got glimpse of their weakness in match against PSG and Madrid.

I honestly don't see them as favorites, because Barcelona wins very well against teams that we would say are somewhat smaller. When you put Barcelona up against PSG and Real Madrid, it's a different story; they lose. If what many people think is that they beat Atletico Madrid, where Julian Alvarez practically threw the game in a shameful way, they are deluding themselves. A victory like that is truly pitiful. However, they continue to be favorites with a lot of luck and help from all sides. I would say that Arsenal, Bayern, PSG and Madrid are the undisputed favorites to win the UCL.

The only big teams that Barcelona has played and not been able to win since Flick took over are PSG and Inter. They have won Bayern Munich, Atletico, Real Madrid, and if you consider teams like Dortmund and Galatasaray as big teams, you can include them. But somehow people keep saying they can't win against big teams. Barcelona have not been able to win the Champions League for a while, but only Real Madrid and, most recently, PSG have been able to win it more than once since Barcelona last won it. You don't need to be an invisible team to win the champions league. Chelsea weren't invisible when they won it. Madrid were not invisible when they won it multiple times. So everything about Barcelona does not need to be perfect before they can win it.

I'm not saying they will definitely win it, but you would be lying if you said Barcelona are not among the favorites to win the UCL. You can't mention the five best teams in Europe right now and not include Barcelona.

It's still too early to say that. The UCL journey is still very long and anything can happen. This also happened to PSG in the last two seasons in the league phase, PSG actually performed poorly and even had to go through the playoff round. I'm sure in those two years, during the league phase, PSG wasn't considered a contender for the UCL trophy, but in the end during that season PSG actually managed to win the UCL trophy.

I mean, don’t just look at the team based on their current performance and actually teams like Madrid, Barca, Munich and Arsenal have the same depth of strength as PSG. Sure, right now they have a lot of weaknesses but isn’t it good to know the weaknesses early on so they can keep improving for the upcoming matches? In fact, I think PSG needs to be careful right now because feeling stronger than other teams could backfire on them since they don’t really know their own weaknesses and that might make them easily get knocked out in the group stage. For me, winning the trophy three times in a row won’t be easy and so far only Madrid has managed to do it, but anyway we also have to wait and see how PSG’s story unfolds in the UCL this season.

Paris Saint German is strong I agree with that but I think the reason is because they have not actually find their weakness that is why they keep on defeating any team they jam regardless of their form. Before they defeated Barcelona this season their performance was not that impressive but they won regardless which means they have a pattern that is yet to be unveil, they have defeated Barcelona and Manchester city this season and I'm pretty sure they can defeat Real Madrid, Arsenal and Bayern Munich, meaning they can still win the champions league again.

[Roseline492]

With the way the team is playing can we really say they have something an external team would discover and it becomes over for them in terms of victory?, honestly I don't think there is such weak point in the club but in other words the only thing that would be certain of reducing there wining victory is injury because if few of their top strikers they usually depend on is out for long definitely there performance would be sliced into two so actually if this doesn't happen to PSG rest assured that there would be nothing any team would discover about them except the season is not really for them.

When Paris Saint-German form was sloppy in the domestic league, i believed they will not win the champions league for the 3rd in row just like you, but the few games they played in the champions league this season shows that they are still the best team in the champions league and they have a good chance of lifting the champions league again and become the first team to win the champions league for the 3rd in a row, and i will not force you to believe Paris Saint-German will win the champions league the end will justify everything.

[Ale88]

They signed Chalobah for only  30 million.

Yes, and what about all the others? Do you really think they purchased one single player during the whole transfer window?

Como added quite a few player to their squad. Among them, signing of Chalobah was the most expensive. Como did not have to spend any significant amount worth mentioning on the remaining player. If you compare them with the renowned Serie A clubs, Como spent much less.

So before you said Como only signed Chalobah and now you're admitting they bought several other players. It's way different, don't you think?

Also, how can you not mention that Como purchased Nico Paz for 60 million euros during the last summer? That is literally the most important transfer ever for Como, and you're pretending it didn't happen?

Did Como buy Nico Paz last summer ??   
You probably forgot or I? IDK, who!!
But if I recall correctly, I have seen Nico Paz at Como since 2024.
And yes, he is undoubtedly one of the most key players in Como's squad.

Yes, Como officially purchased Nico Paz last summer for 60 million euro: https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/how-como-re-signed-nico-paz-from-real-madrid-cesc-fabregass-champions-league/

Everything you wrote makes zero sense.

IDK, why you think like this. Maybe hallucination or something else! Compared to Napoli, Juventus, Milan or Roma, Como spent much less. Even when considering star player, Como falls behind relatively. Nevertheless, thanks to Fabregas tireless effort, they are playing brilliantly yes. You know Milan and Juventus spent €150M+ in last transfer window. Still their overall performance is lagging behind Como.

You began talking about Como's transfers without having the facts. I mean, you didn't even know they paid 60 millions for Nico Paz and then you say they didn't spend any money, come on...

However, they continue to be favorites with a lot of luck and help from all sides. I would say that Arsenal, Bayern, PSG and Madrid are the undisputed favorites to win the UCL.

I also don't see them as favorites, because they are only comfortable winning smaller teams and find it difficult when they face a much stronger opponent. A team is considered favorite when they have a strong ground against bigger teams because smaller teams are always easy to beat.
Many people will be deceived by this Barcelona performance because of how they win small teams comfortably and even win with a very high scoreline. To be a favorite in the champions league you need more than just winning small teams with high margin, your strength should be winning bigger games because you're likely to face at least 2 big teams to win the trophy. I don't see that with Barcelona yet.

What is clear is that he did not have a convincing point to prove that PSG are not going to win this season Champions League again. He just said it based on his belief, which is clearly not right. At least, he should be able to provide reasons to prove that PSG are not going to win it.Nobody can really say whether PSG will actually win it or not, but for now, the signs they are showing through their current performances suggest that they have what it takes to defend the Champions League title for the third time. And that is something everyone needs to understand.

Whether they are playing badly in their domestic league or not, as long as they continue to perform impressively in the Champions League and have been beating most of the teams we consider top favourites, it is a big indication that they are currently among the strongest favourites to win it.With this kind of PSG, only those who are judging based on their feelings would say that PSG do not have an advantage over other teams in the Champions League.

You probably forgot or I? IDK, who!!
But if I recall correctly, I have seen Nico Paz at Como since 2024.
And yes, he is undoubtedly one of the most key players in Como's squad.

Nico has been freed from Madrid's buyback clause so he is now comfortable with Como because at the beginning of last season an agreement between Como and Madrid was reached with 60 million to get the remaining rights to Paz but indeed there is still another clause that Madrid can activate if they want by doing a buyback of 80 million even though the deadline is only 1 season (until 2027).


Actually I expect him to return to Madrid but with the density of midfield and how Nico is very comfortable playing in Como it feels too selfish as Madrid fans expect him to return but not made a priority because it could disrupt the stability and performance at the moment.

But it is undeniable that the longer Nico develops the better because for now the heart of Como's midfield, especially for their attack problems, everything rests on Nico Paz so I don't want to disturb this performance.
There is a chance indeed to be in Madrid but the chances are a little difficult because the role of Nico is currently the same as Jude as a shadow striker even so false 9 so if forced even I think this will worsen the state of the midfield for Madrid unless they eliminate some players there.

PSG's performance in the domestic league was weak in the early stages and most of their team's best players did not play in those matches but nowadays it surprises us that they are fielding their best players and have already managed to regain their top spot by winning most of the matches. To be honest they have won four matches in a row in UEFA Champions League this season so it seems they deserve to be champion this season also it may be noticed by everyone that Real Madrid have also won four matches in this UCL.

PSG have not played their best squad in home league matches but in UEFA Champions League matches they have fielded their trained players who as a result we have seen them win against the big teams as they have already managed to grab wins against Barcelona and Manchester City as well.

[POPOLUV]

PSG are the defending champions and are performing very well at the moment and they have a totally complete squad. I think in all of Europe they’re the most complete team with enough quality substitutes. The Barça, Arsenal, Bayern and Madrid teams all have a weak side to their teams but the PSG team seems to be the only team that have every position on lockdown and that’s why many think they’ll retain the title.
Barcelona are contenders but if we don’t fix our defensive problems we wouldn’t do much.

I know that it is normal for fans to have such thoughts, but with the great performance in Paris Saint-Germain players, I'm still seeing Paris Saint-Germain of not being able to be defeated anytime soon because every of their matches comes with the expectation of winning any teams and never to underestimate any clubs, so if any clubs that will finally beat Paris Saint-Germain in the season, it means that the club has past history of winning Paris Saint-Germain and out side that, it will be very difficult to see any teams try it, and even with the current performance of Paris Saint-Germain, i can't just conclude that Paris Saint-Germain will lift up the champions League trophy, the champions is very open for any clubs to wins it.

They beat Barcelona this season so they are a strong team but that is not the case. If you look at their performance in the last two seasons, we can see the complete change in the team since Luis Enrique took charge of this team. The team that did not think twice about spending a huge amount of money to win the Champions League trophy before, the team has won the Champions League trophy for two consecutive seasons. PSG's performance is consistent, PSG has never targeted just one player in the last two seasons, every player they have played in the position they have played has done well, that is, the team performance has brought them so much success. So far, they have had good team performance, so as long as this continues, they will be in a favorite position to win the title in any major tournament.

They have won Bayern Munich, Atletico, Real Madrid, and if you consider teams like Dortmund and Galatasaray as big teams, you can include them. But somehow people keep saying they can't win against big teams.~

Nobody talks about separate games, even Fenerbahce can beat Liverpool sometimes. When you have a playoff format consisting of 9 games (or 11, if you didn’t make it into the top 8 ), you simply cannot afford to slip up in two consecutive games - or even in just one (take the Barcelona vs. Atlético matchup from last season, for example - remember that?). A single moment of unreliability can cost an entire tournament - and that is exactly what has been happening to Barcelona for the past 10 years. While there were times when the team simply wasn't good enough to win, there were also many occasions when they played well, only to be let down by their defense.
