7 Teams Who Can Win The Champions League Based On Performances In Gameweek One
2. Real Madrid
Despite having a relatively easy fixture on paper to kick off their campaign, the current holders of the trophy and winners in the last two seasons can simply not be counted out.
Los Blancos have won the trophy three times out of the last four, a remarkable achievement to say the very least, and they reached the semi-finals the year they did not win it in this period.
Still being led from the front by Cristiano Ronaldo, Madrid have got their way of playing under Zinedine Zidane down to a tee. The likes of Gareth Bale and Isco are world class talents going forward to supplement 'CR7', while Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane offer stability at the back.
To win three on the bounce would be an absolutely tremendous feat by Madrid and Zidane, but you simply cannot count them out and it would be no surprise to anyone to see them emerge victorious once again.
