Behind Arsenal, Man City: Opta tips Barcelona an outsider in Champions League this seasonOpta predicts Barcelona has an 8.4% chance of winning the 2025-26 Champions League, equal to Manchester City but behind favorites Liverpool (20.4%), Arsenal (16%), and PSG (12.1%). Despite reaching the semi-finals last season, Opta projects a challenging path for Barcelona, with lower odds of reaching the quarter-finals (51.3%), semi-finals (29.5%), and final (16.4%). Barcelona aims to defy these predictions with a strengthened squad, aiming for their first title since 2015.
