Ranked: See the chances of all the 32 teams winning the Champions League this season

The Champions League group stage draw for 2023/24 has been made, and there are some exciting matchups.

Group A:

Newcastle United: The Magpies are making their first appearance in the Champions League since 2002/03, and they will face a tough challenge from PSG, AC Milan, and Borussia Dortmund. PSG are the defending champions, and they have a star-studded lineup that includes Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Neymar. AC Milan are a seven-time winner of the Champions League, and they have been rebuilding in recent years, but they have made some good signings this summer. Borussia Dortmund are always a dangerous team, and they have Erling Haaland leading their attack.

Group B:

Arsenal: The Gunners have a more favorable draw against Sevilla, PSV Eindhoven, and RC Lens. Sevilla are the defending Europa League champions, but they are currently bottom of La Liga. PSV Eindhoven are a Dutch powerhouse, but they have lost some key players this summer. RC Lens are a French club that are making their Champions League debut.

Group C:

Manchester United: The Red Devils will have to be at their best to get past Bayern Munich, Galatasaray, and FC Copenhagen. Bayern Munich are the most successful team in Champions League history, and they have just signed Sadio Mane. Galatasaray are a Turkish club that have a strong history in the Champions League. FC Copenhagen are a Danish club that are making their first appearance in the group stage in 15 years.

Group D:

Manchester City: The Cityzens have the easiest group of all, with RB Leipzig, Red Star Belgrade, and Young Boys all unlikely to challenge them. RB Leipzig are a German club that have reached the Champions League semi-finals in recent years. Red Star Belgrade are a Serbian club that are making their appearance in the group stage in 20 years. Young Boys are a Swiss club that are always a tough team to beat at home.

Here is a look at the teams’ chances of winning the Champions League:

Manchester City are the favorites, having won the treble last season. They have added Erling Haaland to their squad, and he could be the difference-maker. They have a strong team all over the pitch, and they are well-coached by Pep Guardiola.
Bayern Munich are also strong contenders, with Harry Kane joining their attack. They have a good mix of experience and youth, and Thomas Tuchel is a proven winner in this competition. They have a strong defense and a clinical attack, and they are always a threat to win the Champions League.
Real Madrid have a young team, but they have a lot of talent. Vinicius Jr, Fede Valverde, and Eduardo Camavinga are all exciting players, and Karim Benzema is still one of the best strikers in the world. They have a lot of experience in the Champions League, and they know how to win big games.
Barcelona have also made some big signings, including Robert Lewandowski. They will need to find a way to gel quickly, but they have the potential to be a force in the Champions League. They have a lot of attacking talent, and they are always a threat to score goals.
Arsenal are the dark horses. They pushed Manchester City close last season, and they have added Declan Rice to their midfield. If they can get their best players fit and firing, they could go far. They have a young, exciting team, and they are playing with a lot of confidence.
