There will be a fresh feel to the Champions League for the 2024-25 season, as a new format will be in operation for the competition. The opening phase of the competition will now see each team come up against eight different rivals, with the 36 teams competing for points between September and late January.

Manchester City will once again rank among the leading contenders, despite having fallen in the quarterfinal stage when bidding to defend their honor. Pep Guardiola’s side were eliminated by Real Madrid in 2023-24, but it could be challenging to overlook their excellent quality across the field.

The reigning champions are challenging to write off at this stage, with their young squad likely to be a menacing competitor once again. Their chances will only be improved following the expected arrival of Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer.

Premier League teams dominate the outright betting at this stage, with Arsenal and Liverpool also expected to be among the leading contenders. However, the latter will likely have questions to answer following the departure of Jurgen Klopp. Bayern Munich could also rank among the likely contenders, with Vincent Kompany tasked with getting the German giants back to the top of the European game.
