Which team will win the Champions League in 2026?
With the round of 16 in the Champions League finally completed the competition is reaching its latter stages and getting closer to crowning a winner. Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur all fell to the wayside, leaving the best to rise to the top.
With that in mind, will it be Real Madrid, Barcelona or Arsenal who make it all the way? Or could Liverpool return to the final after a short absence? Or will PSG make it two from two?
Whilst you can win a lot on football, mystery box battles in a PvP mode are also a fun way to test your nerve and win big.
3. Barcelona – 5/1
Hansi Flick’s Barcelona overturned a test against Newcastle United with flying colours. The Blaugrana won the second-leg 7-2 after drawing 1-1 at St James Park. Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski scored twice in the rout as Barcelona announced themselves as real contender.
The young team are looking to replicate that of PSG last season, using flair combined with drops of experience to guide them to glory. Led by the young star that is Lamine Yamal, Barcelona are filled with youthful stars from Pau Cubarsi at the back to Pedri running midfield.
Flick’s team will now face fellow La Liga side Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals as they aim to win the competition for the first time since 2015.
2. Bayern Munich – 7/2
Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich are on a role and a serious contender for this year’s Champions League. Led by the best striker in Europe, Harry Kane, the German giants have barely lost a game this season and look imperious, beating their knockout opponents Atalanta 10-2 on aggregate.
With young Lenart Karl as an X-factor, Bayern Munich have a team full of talent in their prime. Jamal Musiala has returned whilst Serge Gnabry and Luis Diaz are in top form whilst Jonathan Tah controls their towering defence.
The perennial Bundesliga champions take on 15-times Champions League winners Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.
1. Arsenal – 5/2
One of, if not, the best teams in Europe this season and one of the only teams to beat Bayern Munich, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are determined to win this year. Built on a stout defence, the Gunners are known for utilising set pieces, but no team can stop them as they worked their way past Bayer Leverkusen to move into the next round.
Arteta’s side are primed to win now with Viktor Gyokeres leading the line, Bukayo Saka out wide and Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi in the middle, this Arsenal team is as primed as ever to go all the way.
Arsenal are still fighting for every competition they started in this season and will face Sporting CP in the quarterfinals, in the favourable side of the Champions League draw.
