European Trophy Treble Tip
Real Madrid clinched a record-extending 15th Champions League trophy at Wembley last season and they look good value to make it 16 in Munich next year.
They have won 15 of their 18 appearances in the final and have won six of the last 11 instalments, with their last defeat in the final of this competition coming back in 1981 against Liverpool.
Los Blancos’ storied history in this competition would have put them among my favourites for the trophy even before their business in the summer, but the transfer window has been kind to them and they head into the 2024/25 campaign with arguably the best squad in the world.
The world-class talents of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior remain instrumental to Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but the arrival of arguably the world’s best player in Kylian Mbappe could send them stratospheric.
As if that wasn’t enough, teenage sensation Endrick has also arrived in the Spanish capital and scored on his home debut against Real Valladolid.
Led by a manager who has won the Champions League a record five times with two separate teams, it would take a brave man to oppose Real Madrid.
Athletic Bilbao have clear motivation for a deep Europa League run – as their San Mames stadium will host the final in May. Spain star Nico Williams has hung around for another season dreaming of European glory with his boyhood club in their home ground.
Athletic won the Copa del Rey last term and they’re seen as the strongest Spanish side in the competition. With eight of the last 11 seasons seeing a Spanish winner of the Europa League, Athletic are standout value at 12/1.
Copenhagen made the Champions League last 16 earlier this year, making it through a group that contained Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Galatasaray. They finished four points off the Danish title in May and slipped into the Conference League as a result, where the change in format offers them a path to glory. After a decent summer transfer window and a strong domestic start, Copenhagen can make an impact in a competition which has a vulnerable trio of favourites.

How does the Champions League work?
A certain number of teams from each league in Europe qualify for the Champions League. This number depends on the quality of the league and ranges from one to four teams. Some teams have to play qualifiers to get into the tournament, while higher-ranked teams are placed straight into the group stage.
Once the qualifiers have taken place, the group stages begin. There are eight groups in total, each made up of four teams. The teams in each group play each other twice, once at home and once away. The top two qualify for the knockout rounds. It’s an advantage to finish top of your group, as this means you will play a second-placed team in the next round.
The knockout stages are as follows: round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, final. Each match-up includes one home leg and one away leg, except for the final, which is a stand-alone match.
Which teams are in the Champions League?
The following teams have qualified for the 2022/23 Champions League group stage…
AC Milan, Ajax, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Celtic, Chelsea, Club Brugge, FC Porto, Frankfurt, Juventus, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Manchester City, Marseille, Napoli, PSG, Real Madrid, RB Leipzig, Salzburg, Sevilla, Shakhtar Donetsk, Sporting Lisbon, Tottenham.
So those are the teams, but it’s also worth getting to know the players. You can check out the top scorers in the Champions League this season here.
