3. Manchester City to win the UEFA Champions League

UCL for the Citizens this season?
UCL for the Citizens this season?

It has not been the season that Pep Guardiola and Manchester City had hoped for. The league race seems almost over as Liverpool have been rampant while Manchester City have shown massive inconsistency. While not being able to win the league three times in a row is going to be a difficult pill to swallow, the Manchester side have the perfect opportunity to go for the biggest prize. Both Pep and Manchester City have been aiming for the UCL trophy for years now, and this could finally be their season.

There is no reason why City can not win UCL. They have one of the best squads in Europe and one of the best managers too. Sheikh Mansour had the UCL in mind when he appointed Pep Guardiola and this could be the year for them.

Earlier this season, the Spanish manager warned that his Manchester City side are not yet ready to win the UEFA Champions League as they are not clinical enough in front of goal. Pep has had 3 promising yet failed UCL campaigns with the England champions and he will be looking to finally win the prestigious European trophy after 8 seasons. Though for this, they first have to get the better of Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid in the Round of 16.

Will Manchester City finally win the UEFA Champions League? It could be the case, but only time will tell.
