Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain to win the UEFA Champions League title last season. They will need to do that again over two legs to advance to the semi-finals this time around. Whoever wins this tie has a great chance of going onto win Europe's elite competition.

Bayern Munich have won all of their last seven matches across all competitions and beat their closest title-rival RB Leipzig over the weekend to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table.

However, in the absence of Robert Lewandowski, who is nursing a knee injury, Bayern Munich will need to rely on other players for goals and that's not great news against a team that's as good as Paris Saint-Germain are.

#2 Paris Saint-Germain - 7/10

Finalists in the UEFA Champions League last year, Paris Saint-Germain are among the favourites to win the competition this term. But they will have to first overcome the challenge posed by reigning champions Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. The Bavarians have been in great form.

But Mauricio Pochettino's side will be feeling confident now that Neymar has returned to the side after a bout with injury. Kylian Mbappe has been firing too but they will need to shake off their weekend defeat at the hands of Lille as they go into this one.

PSG will need to be at the top of their game if they are to win against Bayern Munich. If they are able to do that, our money will be on them.

#1 Manchester City - 8.5/10

Ever since Ruben Dias settled down in that Manchester City defense, Pep Guardiola's team have been a different proposition. Just like Virgil van Dijk's addition was key to unlocking Liverpool's abilities, the sense of safety that Dias provides at the back has now transformed Manchester City into title-favourites on all fronts.

Manchester City have been flying and save for a loss against cross-city rivals Manchester United, they have not looked capable of stuttering. Manchester City will lock horns with Borussia Dortmund, who have seen better days in terms of form.

The Manchester City midfielders and attackers are playing well and on their day, they will run rings around their opposition and cause problems in the final third throughout the ninety. Manchester City are hot favourites to win the UEFA Champions League title this season.
