But who has the best chance of winning the champions league?

betBonanza takes a look at the statistics and shares 5 teams with the best chance of clinching the trophy this season.

Bayern Munich @ 3.75 odds

The Bavarians remain the clear favourite to lift the famous trophy in Istanbul next May. Last season, the Munich side won all 11 matches they played in the competition. Hansi Flick’s side easily brushed aside Chelsea, embarrassed Barca, before defeating Lyon and PSG to clinch the prize. Die Rotten have started strongly this season, winning their first two games against worthy opponents, and look likely to qualify without any hassle. Bayern is definitely the favourite to win the trophy.

Liverpool @ 8 odds

Jurgen Klopp’s team is still a force to reckon with. The Reds have won their first two games, and with their past record of success in the Champions League, they look like England's best prospect for glory. Liverpool still has one of the best squads in Europe, especially with the addition of Thiago Alacantra to the side. 

Paris Sain-German @ 13 odds

PSG’s performance last season makes the Paris Billionaires a contender for this season’s title. Neymar and Mbappe gave scintillating performances that drove Le Parisiens through to a final where they lost a hard-fought game against Bayern. Last season’s final appearance was a huge moment for the club, and they will definitely be gunning for a repeat. 

Real Madrid @ 21 odds

They are the total package with a mix of veteran players and rising stars, and an experienced coach on the sidelines. Federico Valverde, Martin Odegaard and Vinícius Júnior represent the new generation, while Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and Sergio Ramos have enough left in the tank to get one more Champions League trophy. Zidane might not be the tactical genius that some of his peers are, but he knows how to manage a tight schedule and guide a team through the obstacles of a knockout stage. He can call upon genuine world-class quality throughout the squad and has plenty of match-winning options in attack, especially if Eden Hazard can get fit, stay fit and start to show his true ability. 

Juventus @ 15 odds

It is difficult to imagine an Italian club winning the Champions League. But can’t rule out a team fielding Cristiano Ronaldo. Juventus have a young manager in Andrea Pirlo, and the team is still taking shape. Pirlo graced the UEFA Champions League for over a decade as a player, winning the title twice. His experience will definitely count.

So those are the five (5) teams we think have the best chance of winning the trophy.
