Champions League is the most exciting football tournament ever. It’s more exciting than another league due to the Champions teams from different geolocation. Every match from group stages to final are unpredictable.
In the last five seasons, Real Madrid has won this tournament four times. Did you Know?, Real Madrid is the only team to win Champions League for the third time in a row. No team has ever managed to win the Champions League for regular two times also. But this Real Madrid squad was strongest with top players in every position. So they were successful to win the trophy for the third time in a row. Now their main contributor to these Champions League campaign Cristiano Ronaldo has left for Juventus. So this is the big blow for Real Madrid.
Today in this article I am going to rank the top 5 contenders for Champions League 2018/19 season.....So let's move to our main topic
Top 5 Contenders For Champions League 2018/19
5. Real Madrid
Real Madrid is always a favorite to win the Champions League. But I have ranked them at 5th place do you know why? It's because of Cristiano Ronaldo. The most prolific player of Champions League has left them, so it’s a big blow for Real. But still they have a very good squad, and they will try their best to win the Champions League for the fourth time in a row. If we look at their recent form, it will be tough for them, but I still think they can.
4. FC Bayern Munich
Fc Bayern Munich is another strong contender for Champions League 2018/19 season. They have a solid squad of quality players. They have world class players in every position. In the last few seasons they are doing well, but due to injuries, they have crucial matches. They have got eliminated multiple times by Real Madrid, which has dominated the Champions League last few years. In my view, they are another strong contender for Champions League 2018/19.
3. FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona is hungry to in the Champions League this year. Ther arch-rival Real Madrid have got a rare success in Champions League and make a long gap. They will try to reduce the gap between them. They have won the Champions League in 2014/15 season, and after that, they are disappointed time and again. They will have more focus on the Champions League than La Liga and Copa Del Rey. With their new signings this season they have a quality squad. So lionel Messi and Co will give their best to win Champions League this season.
2. Athletico Madrid
Are you surprised?, If yes then please watch the recent games of Athletico Madrid. This season Athletico Madrid are looking more stronger than last season. If we see their recent form, they are looking unstoppable. This season is going to be important for Athletico Madrid and Manager Diego Simeone. They are one of the most unlucky teams in the Champions League. They have lost many encounters with another Madrid team, i.e. Real Madrid. They have lost a most important game in 2014 final to Real that will be remembered forever. This year they have defeated Real Madrid in the Supercup. They are capable of winning the Champions League this year with the strong squad.
1. Juventus
After the arrival of Ronaldo, Juventus are favorite to win the Champions League this year. They have faced some difficult losses in the last few seasons. They won’t forget the final games where they were thrashed by FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. But now they have most prolific champions league player ever. They have robust backline and good midfielders along with prolific finisher. Their current squad is capable of defeating any teams in the world.
I think other than these five teams Liverpool is another strong contender. They were disappointed by Real Madrid in the final last season. We may see the continuity of Spanish Dominance in the Champions league this year too. But let's hope other clubs from different nations will give tough challenge to Spanish Clubs.
What’s your view on my Top 5 Picks? Will Spanish dominance continue?
