The holders are in a middle tier between true challengers and dark horse teams. Can Jurgen Klopp find a solution, or will a somewhat tricky group draw be the end of Liverpool’s magical run? Real Madrid (+850) Liverpool still has Mo Salah in attack, although questions are starting to arise about his lack of production. The Reds have been off to a brutal start in the Premier League this season, but they did make the final last year before falling flat against Real Madrid. That draw presents some hesitancy when it comes to picking Germany’s top club to win it all. Unfortunately, the group draw is brutal with both Barcelona and Inter Milan in the stage. If Bayern’s back line can hold up, this team should be able to make noise. Sadio Mane has been great, and youngster Jamal Musiala is firing early. Bayern Munich (+500)īayern Munich has quietly remained a powerhouse despite losing Robert Lewandowski in the transfer window. After last year’s knockout round blunders, this group is ready for redemption. The peripheral pieces are starting to play up to their capabilities, and the path out of the group stage is favorable. Neymar has found his form, Kylian Mbappe is back and Lionel Messi remains ageless. PSG is the other perennial flopper in Champions League play, although this year’s outfit looks ridiculous. City’s back line tends to have problems in the worst moments, so it’s hard to back this group to win it all. Will it be enough to finally win a Champions League title? The oddsmakers seem to think so, as Pep Guardiola’s group is once again the favorite to lift this trophy. The addition of Erling Haaland has changed Man City’s attack for the better so far this season. Here’s a look at how the teams shape up this year, with odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook. That means it’s time to make predictions for Europe’s top club competition. The draw for the 2022-23 Champions League tournament is complete and we’ve got all the teams set in groups.
