#2 Barcelona
La Blaugrana will be looking to win their first Champions League trophy since 2015 to break the dominance of their bitter rivals Real Madrid who have been prolific in the last three seasons.
Their talisman Lionel Messi has been back to his brilliant best this season, scoring 29 goals and 17 assists in all competitions this season so far, with 6 goals in the Champions League. The Argentine seems to be inspired by the Ballon d'Or snub and is showing why he is regarded as one of the greatest players in football history.
The resurgence of Ousmane Dembele presents Barcelona with a plethora of attacking options alongside Leo Messi, Luis Suarez, Philipe Coutinho, & Malcom. The French youngster is finally showing why Barcelona paid a mammoth transfer fee to acquire his services from Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.
In addition, Barcelona has a star-studded squad depth that will play a very vital role for them in the push for Champions League glory this season.
