Who will win the Champions League 2023/24?
Bogdan LashchenkoLast season, Erling Haaland's Manchester City lifted the Champions League trophy for the first time. Looking at the odds at Norwegian betting sites, Manchester City are the favourites to win again. However, it is difficult to defend the title in the world's finest club competition and there are several strong contenders. Bayern Munich are expected to challenge and have signed Harry Kane. Real Madrid are also dangerous and have brought in Bellingham. In addition, there is another Norwegian hoping to win the tournament for the first time. Martin Ødegaard's Arsenal are back in the competition for the first time in a long time.

Manchester City are clear favourites
Manchester City won the Champions League last season and it was Erling Haaland who led the team to victory. In 11 Champions League games, Haaland scored 12 goals and was also top scorer in the Premier League and Champions League.
Manchester City look even stronger after signing Josko Gvardiol from Leipzig and Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea. Looking at the odds, they are also pretty clear favourites to win the tournament. If that happens, the team will become the first club to defend a CL title since Real Madrid.
Bayern Munich want to challenge
Bayern Munich won the Champions League in 2019/20, but since then have not come close to reclaiming the title. According to the odds, it could be the 2023/24 season that it happens again. The team has been significantly strengthened with both Harry Kane from Tottenham and Min-jae Kim from Napoli. In total, the team has paid €150 million for these two players. Thus, they look extremely strong and can challenge all the way to the end.
Never underestimate Real Madrid
There's a reason why Real Madrid have won the Champions League 14 times, which is twice as many times as second-placed AC Milan. After finishing second in La Liga and being knocked out in the semi-finals of the Champions League, Real Madrid are hungry for trophies. While they wait for Mbappe, they have brought in Jude Bellingham and Arda Güler. Players such as Benzema, Marco Asensio and Eden Hazard have left, but both Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are still in the team.
Can Martin Ødegaard help Arsenal win the title?
Last season, Arsenal looked set to go all the way to the top and win the Premier League. But a poor finish meant that Ødegaard had to watch the title go to his compatriot Haaland. Now Arsenal are back in the Champions League for the first time since 2016/17. Arteta's squad looks even stronger than last season.
They have recruited heavily and spent over €200 million on new players. Declan Rice from West Ham is the club's most expensive purchase ever. In addition to Rice, they have also brought in Kai Havertz from Chelsea and Jurrien Timber from Ajax. Can it last all the way to the Champions League title?
