Man City started the game strong as expected from the holder of the Champions League. They kept the ball and created chances against RB Leipzig.

Will Man City Win Back-to-Back Champions Leagues?

It takes a lot out of a team to win one Champions League, winning the tournament again next season can be a struggle for teams. This is something Pep Guardiola is well aware of given his history as a manager.

For City, they waited a long time to win the tournament and won’t want their first defense of the title to be a failure. They’ve improved on their squad from last season, so they’ll be confident they can go all the way again.

The current Man City Champions League winner odds stand at 2/1, showing that the bookmakers believe that they’ll successfully defend their title.

They’ll face tough challenges as the tournament progresses. A lot will also depend on how the knockout stage goes for them. Pep will be hoping to avoid Real Madrid in the early rounds, the La Liga side will be a big threat to Man City.
