“Liverpool (20.4%) are favourites to win this season’s Champions League, according to the Opta supercomputer,” they wrote.
“The likeliest threat to Arne Slot’s side are Premier League rivals Arsenal (16.0%), while reigning champions PSG are third favourites to retain their title (12.1%).
“Man City, who won the competition in 2022-23, are given an 8.4% chance, as are Barcelona, while Club World Cup champions Chelsea (7.0%), Real Madrid (5.8%) and Bayern Munich (4.3%) form the chasing pack.”
