German football legend Michael Ballack has given his prediction regarding the favorites for the new Champions League season.
Idman.biz reports that Ballack stated that Hansi Flick's "Barcelona" seems to be the main candidate for victory.
According to him, "Bayern", "Real" and "Manchester City" do not have enough stability this season.
"Bayern" can beat anyone. But considering the dynamics, they lost to "Inter" in the 1/4 finals last season. So, for me, "Bayern" is not an absolute favorite, but rather a contender. Considering their past performances and shocks, I don't consider "Manchester City" to be the main favorite either. The same goes for "Real Madrid". The situation there is similar to that of "City".
Of course, "Barcelona". The team is strong, they have an outstanding player Lamin Yamal who can change the course of events, and the ideal Hansi Flick. You should also consider "PSG" under the leadership of Luis Enrique as one of the main favorites," Ballack told Sport Bild.
In the group stage of the Champions League next week, "Barcelona" will face "Newcastle", "Real" will face "Marseille", "City" will face "Napoli" and "Bayern" will face "Chelsea".
