4. BAYERN MUNICH
Last season was quite tough for the German giant, as they struggled without a potent striker and were disgraced by Manchester city home and away in the quarter final of last season UEFA champions league.
Though they won the league by the scruff of their neck at the last match of the season due to Borussia Dortmund’s refusal to win their match at the other end.
Bayern Munich have learnt their lessons and have quickly gotten a goal poacher in the form of Harry Kane to lift them up and help them win the biggest prize in European football.
Now Bayern Munich have an out and out striker that has an eye for goal with a fantastic goal record in his previous stint in England, the second highest ever goal scorer in the history of the English premier league, second to only Alan Shearer.
Bet me, Harry Kane will score goals for fun at Bayern Munich with creative players behind him like Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, and Davies supplying passes to latch on into the net.
I see Bayern Munich doing well and going far in this season, UEFA Champions League.
3. REAL MADRID
Los Blancos are the biggest and most decorated clubs in Europe. They always come to the party whenever they play in the champions league.
Though their talisman karim Benzema have moved on to another club in the Saudi pro league and they have refused to get a proper replacement, I still strongly tip them to go far and wreck great havoc on their opponents, based on their previous antecedent and their experience and tactically astute coach in Carlo Ancelotti.
The team recently acquired the service of former Borussia Dortmund man and English talented midfielder Jude Bellingham who was the best player in the German Bundesliga last season and they got stars like Vinicius Junior, Rodrigo, midfield maestro of Modric and Kroos.
On their good day, these Real Madrid stars can dispatch any team in Europe to lifting the Champions league and bringing the trophy to Spain.

2. INTERNAZIONALE MILANO
the Italian team, popularly known as Intermilan, with their 3-5-2 formation with two wingbacks in the two flanks are still a dangerous team to watch out for this season.
The 5-1 drubbing of their City and Arch rival AC Milan last weekend reminds us that they are still a team to reckon with this season.
Their pragmatic style of play under Simone Inzaghi is so efficient to them and frustrating to the opponent. They don’t really do much. They wait on their opponent by soaking pressure, and they strike them on the counter.
They caused a lot of problems to Manchester City in the final of last season, UEFA champions league, but came short due to their profligacy in front of goals.
Am tipping them to go all the way in this season, UEFA champions league. They are a very efficient team and the most disciplined team for me.
The second favourite team to lift the UEFA champions league this season.
1. MANCHESTER CITY
The treble winning English club are my number one favorite to retain and win the UEFA champions league again.
If they successfully achieve it, they will become the first English team to win the champions league consecutively.
A feat no English team has attained.
The possession based team under the tutelage of master tactician Pep Guardiola dominated world football with tantalizing and eye catching display enroute winning the Champions League last season
Though important players like Riyah Mahrez, Aymeric Laporte and Ikay Gundogan have left the club, they wisely brought in good replacement in Josko Gvardiol, a centre back from Leipzig, Jeremy Doku, a creative winger, Mateo Kovacic, a central midfielder from their English rival Chelsea and Matheus Nunes the portuguese midfielder from another English club Wolverhampton Wanderers to fill the void.
No team in the world is a match for Manchester City currently. They are the best ranked team in paper with rich vein of quality players in every department of the field. I tip the club to lift the cup this season.
