#1 F.C. Barcelona (Spain)
Blaugrana is one of the most decorated clubs in the world with 25 La Liga, 30 Copa del Rey titles and five Champions League. However, Barcelona lost to Roma in the Quarter Finals last season due to their defensive frailties. They would be keen not to repeat the same mistake this time.
Barca, after their initial struggles in defense, has hit the form at the right moment. They are leading the La Liga table comfortably with five points above 2nd placed Atletico Madrid. They are also unbeaten in the Champions League finishing at the top.
Barca's strength lies in attack with the main man Lionel Messi alongside him Suarez and Dembele they have the ability to get past defense easily and they are in sensational form right now. Messi is the top scorer and assist-provider in the league and performing quite well in UCL too. Barca's Midfield is good at tiki-taka and possession with big names like Coutinho, Rakitic, Busquet, Vidal and promising Arthur Melo.
So with their magnificent form, good tactics, Messi's magic, teams hunger, Barcelona seems to be more inspired to win this prestigious Champions League trophy.
