Manchester City favourites to win the 2022/23 Champions League

Manchester City are clear favourites to win their first ever Champions League title.

Pep Guardiola's side are a force to be reckoned with and feature plenty of star power, including Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne.

FiveThirtyEight believe they have a one in three chance of ending their wait to be crowned Champions League winners.

Bayern Munich are second favourites, while Real Madrid, despite their demolition of Liverpool, only have a 14% chance of winning.

Serie A runaway leaders Napoli have a 11% chance of winning. Given their form this season, you'd be a fool to bet against them.

Benfica are looking to become the first Portuguese champions since 2004 and are fifth favourites, while Chelsea, AC Milan and Inter Milan's chances of winning the title are considered very slim.

When does the Champions League quarter-final draw take place?

The remaining Champions League sides won't have to wait long to find out their opponents for the quarter-finals.

The draw will take place in Nyon, Switzerland on Friday March 17. It gets underway at 11am UK time.

The first legs of the quarter-finals will be played on Tuesday April 11 and Wednesday April 12, with the second legs taking place the following week.
