Champions League Winner 2022/23 Predictions, Betting Odds, Picks

• The Champions League is the most prestigious tournament in European soccer
• Thirty-two teams will enter the group stage of the competition in September
• Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are among the favorites

The Champions League is the biggest club competition in soccer. Launched in 1955 as the European Cup, it has been held on an annual basis ever since.

Until 1992, the European Cup was a straight knockout tournament that featured only the champions of domestic leagues. It underwent a rebrand in 1992, becoming known as the Champions League. A year earlier, a group stage had been introduced for the first time, although it was originally used as the last phase before the final.

The Champions League is the pinnacle of the European club game. The World Cup might still have more prestige, but the Champions League is widely considered to be home to the highest-quality soccer on the planet.

Manchester City are the favorites to win the Champions League in 2022/23. City have won four of the last five Premier League titles, but they have continually been unable to get over the line in Europe. A semi-final defeat last term was particularly painful, but it is surely only a matter of time before they get their hands on the biggest trophy in European soccer.

Paris Saint-Germain are the second-favorites. Like City, they have never won the Champions League before. Despite a star-studded front three of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, there are question marks over the balance of the team.

Liverpool, three-time finalists under Jurgen Klopp, will be there or thereabouts. The holders are Real Madrid, whose blend of quality and experience means they can never be discounted, while Bayern Munich were the winners in 2020.

Chelsea, Barcelona and Juventus are dark horses for now, but we can expect the odds to shift as the competition goes on.

Who Won the Champions League Most?

Real Madrid are the most successful team in the history of the European Cup/Champions League.

A total of 22 clubs from 10 countries have won the European Cup/Champions League. England has provided the largest number of individual winners, with five clubs having triumphed, but the might of Real Madrid means Spain has supplied the most victors with 18.

Juventus have finished as runners-up more often than any other team, with seven defeats in the final. Atletico Madrid have reached three finals without ever lifting the trophy.

Nottingham Forest and Porto are the only clubs to have a 100 percent record in the final after competing in more than one of them.
