What Teams are Favourites to Reach the Champions League Final?

Every year, there are teams that are expected to go far in the Champions League. After all, some of the biggest football teams in the world are playing in the competition. The Champions League 2020 – 2021 has been different from previous years. But the tournament is still exciting and there are some big matches coming up. Let’s take a look at the teams that are favourites to reach the final of this famous competition. Manchester City Manchester City is enjoying a lot of success this season. We are talking about currently having a 20-match winning streak. With these many wins in a row, it is easy to think that this team is unstoppable. First of all, Manchester City is 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League. They are also due to appear in the EFL Cup Final. What’s more, they have won the away leg of the Champions League tie against Borussia Monchengladbach. Naturally, this great winning streak makes them favourites to appear in the final and even lift the cup this year.Bayern MunichLet’s not forget that German giants, Bayern Munich, won the 2019-2020 UEFA Champions League. This definitely makes them favourites for the current football tournament and they are going to be looking to hold onto their title. They beat Paris Saint-Germain to lift the trophy and they have done well in the competition so far. They had a good performance against FC Köln and they secured a convincing 5-1 win. While they have recently dropped points in the Bundesliga, this win is going to bring back the confidence of the squad and show their intention for this year.Paris Saint-Germain Of course, the runners-up of the 2019-2020 UEFA Champions League final were Paris Saint-Germain. This means that the French club is also going to be favourites to reach the final again this year in the competition. Certainly, if you were looking at Champions League betting odds, you would expect this team to be featured in them. However, it is important to acknowledge that Paris Saint-Germain has not actually won the UEFA Champions League before. But they have been close several times, which includes reaching the quarter-finals. They have a strong squad this year and they are going to be ready to compete. Their next game is going to be against Barcelona, which is going to be a difficult match. This is certainly true when Neymar is not certain to play due to fitness.LiverpoolThere is no doubt that Liverpool are strong contenders to win the Champions League this season. Klopp has achieved a lot of success at the club and this includes reaching the final of the Champions League in 2018 and 2019. One thing to note is that Liverpool has been very unlucky this season when it comes to injuries. Unfortunately, this does mean that they could be missing key players that are spending a long time on the side-lines. For example, this includes Virgil van Dijk, Joe Matip and Joe Gomez.
