Champions League 2019/20: 5 Teams who could win the CL
#2 Barcelona
Barcelona’s Skipper Lionel Messi promised to the Nou Camp faithful that the players will work their sleeve out to secure the Champions League this season. The Argentinian was optimistic about his chances last season, but they faced exit in the Semifinals of the competition, handing over the final spot after carrying a three-goal lead to Anfield in the second leg.
It has been an uneasy start for the Blaugrana, with two victories from four La Liga games. But, they were without the attacking duo of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, who bailed them out on several occasions in the Champions League last season. The addition of Antoine Griezmann has reinforced their attacking ranks, but question marks remain over the backline. With the greatest ever footballer, the Blaugrana start as the second-best favourites for the upcoming edition of the Champions League.
