Each year the clubs compete in their domestic leagues to decide the winner of the particular season. Meanwhile, the UEFA Champions League trophy remains one of the most desired awards - the one who lifts the trophy is named as the best European team of the campaign.
A number of top clubs are now in the race to win the 2021/22 year's competition, while some of them have already shown that they are strong opponents for any team and will probably do their best to reach the final.
Here are the top 5 favorite European teams to win the Champions League this time.
Which teams are favorites to win the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League?

The German giants seem to have a very good form this season. They have won all five games in the Champions League group stage and secured their place in the Round of 16 in the European top tier.
We expect something magical from this team as they have already shown their quality back in the 2019/20 campaign, winning the Champions League after beating PSG 1 - 0.
2. Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp's side are brilliant this season both in the Premier League and the Champions League. They remained unbeaten all of the group stage games in the competition, becoming the first English team to do so.
The Reds have all chances to repeat their success of the 2018/19 year as they take firm steps to the next stage of the competition.
3. Manchester City

Premier League (3 times), FA Cup, EFL Cup, FA Community Shield - Manchester City have won it all under the boss Pep Guardiola, but not the Champions League.
The Citizens have already tasted the pleasure of being in the final of the European top tier last season but faced a bitter defeat to Chelsea. This time they could be more close to their wish as the team continues to sparkle both in the domestic league and versus the European opponents.
4. Real Madrid

2016, 2017, and 2018 were special for Real Madrid as they won the Champions League three years in a row.
Many times Los Blancos have proved to be one of the best European teams worth lifting this trophy. This year could be theirs under the boss Carlo Ancelotti who successfully leads his side to the next stage of the tier.
5. Chelsea

It is impossible to name the favorites without the defending champions Chelsea.
Thomas Tuchel's managerial spell started with a good note as the German boss managed to make Blues the best team both in Europe and in the world in 2021.
The upcoming campaign could also be a promising one for them as the next stage of the competition awaits them.
