UEFA Champions League 2018-19: 4 teams that are in prime position to lift the trophy

3. Paris Saint-Germain

PSG have made it clear that they want to win the UCL as soon as possible. And considering their transfer market history, we know that money is no problem for the French champions.

The team mainly relies on the trio of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani for offense. But with Neymar injured, the duo of Cavani and Mbappe must perform at a very high level to defeat Manchester United in their round of 16 fixture.

4. Juventus

Juventus v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League Group H

Juventus acquired Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, pulling off one of the biggest coups in recent times. Despite taking a few games to adjust to the team pace and chemistry, Ronaldo has emerged as a brilliant goalscorer for Juventus.

The 34-year-old has the likes of Paulo Dybala as his partner in crime, which can only be a good thing. The duo of Ronaldo and Dybala could prove to be lethal in the UCL knockout stage.

Dark horses: Manchester United

After the sacking of Jose Mourinho, it seems like the team has turned into the old-school Manchester United, with fast attacking tactics. Manchester United are yet to lose a game under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and have been performing extremely well as a unit.

If the Red Devils can keep up this form in the knockout stage of the Champions League, they might have a chance to win silverware.
