Paris Saint-Germain's Reign and Competition Outlook
Last season, Paris Saint-Germain won their first European Cup/Champions League title, dominating Inter 5-0 in the final. While many expect PSG to be strong contenders again, the Opta supercomputer did not name them pre-season favourites.
English Teams and Favoritism
Despite PSG eliminating Liverpool and Arsenal in the 2024-25 season, the Premier League duo were more heavily favored this season. They join four other English clubs in the Champions League: Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Europa League winners Tottenham Hotspur.
