Early predictions for UEFA Champions League 2018-19

Real Madrid v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Final

#4 Manchester City

Manchester City v Olympique Lyonnais - UEFA Champions League Group F

A shocking 2-1 loss to Lyon at the Etihad stadium has pushed City down the rankings (it may be for a short while). But it was a disappointing performance from Pep Guardiola's men as their manager could only watch from the stands due to a touchline ban. City were initially rated as the favourites but they looked far away from that as Lyon punished them for their early mistakes.

The pace of Depay and Cornet were too hot to handle for the city defenders. Anthony Lopes made some key saves in goal for the visitors. City fans would have been disappointed with the team's performance. Still, it's early days in the competition and it may have been a wake-up call for City. Not a good start, but there is still plenty to play for.

Prediction: Semifinals

Manchester City are definitely one of the favourites for the title. This loss is going to be a wake up call for City that things aren't going to be easy. But I do not believe that this team will go all the way and win it all, but with Pep Guardiola as their manager, I could be proven wrong.
