Manchester City’s opponent in the quarter-finals, Bayern Munich have the second-highest chance of winning with an 18% chance. Another surprising stat says that Napoli is the third on the list with a 17% chance of winning the trophy.
Another Premier League side Chelsea has the worst news as they are 7th on the list with only a 5% chance. The only team with a lesser chance is AC Milan with a 3% chance to win the title. Benfica and Inter Milan are respectively 5th and 6th on the list with 10% and 6% chance.
Manchester City is currently 2nd on the Premier League table with a 5-point gap from first-placed Arsenal. They have been in terrific form for the last few years as they even reached the final for the first time in 2020-21 and reached the semi-finals last year. However, they haven’t been able to win the coveted trophy.
This year the title could just be City’s to take if they are able to progress to the semis by beating the German giant Bayern Munich. However, if Bayern Munich manage to progress, they will be a force to reckon with. They are currently leading the Bundesliga table with a 2-point lead after 24 games.

Real Madrid are having a very inconsistent season as they have won 2-5 against Liverpool in the Champions League round of 16 first leg. However, as soon as they went back home, they drew 1-1 against 10-man Atletico Madrid in La Liga. Then they lost to Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey semi-final 1st leg and again drew 0-0 against Real Betis in La Liga.
They got their form back with a 3-1 win against Espanyol in La Liga and 1-0 against Liverpool in the Champions League round of 16 second leg. Not much different can be said about their opponent Chelsea who are just getting their form back after a series of poor performances. Graham Potter finally seems to be fitting in with the team as they have won their 3rd straight match a few days ago.
Napoli are leading the Serie A table with a whopping 18-point gap from the second-positioned Inter Milan. They are having quite a good season with 22 wins in the national league out of 26 games. Their opponent AC Milan is fourth on the national league table and the two teams will be meeting 3 times in the span of 17 days. Napoli has never reached the Champions League quarter-finals before this year. If they do progress to the semi-finals, they will then face the winner of the matches between Inter Milan and Benfica.
In the clash between Benfica and Inter Milan, the odds of progressing do go to Inter Milan. However, it would be a mistake to underestimate Benfica in the competition. They have surprised everyone time and again. They were the group leaders this year with Juventus and PSG in the group with them.
