Based on current form and quality depth.

1 Inter Milan ( I think they the favourites somehow their squad improved alowt and the depth is better then last year. Thuram and Martinez a playing on world-class level specially Martinez who is probably after serhua guirasy the best Striker this season in the world I maby would put Kane or haaland above him but the rest this season definitely not )

2 Real Madrid ( it’s just a joke how good they a this season and what don Carlo created . You can’t predict them they can change the style of play so much with one substituted. Plus we didn’t even seen the best out of them because vini wasn’t fully fit yet this season. Kroos biggest strength a now more reguest then ever and he delivers he is this the Best mindfilder alongside with Bellingham in the world.)

3 Man city ( I would rank them higher but they lust gundguan one if not the most important player in the big games and that is making me rank them lower. Plus kdb injury we don’t know how fast he will be back to his best )

4 Aletico Madrid. Probably the real favorites for the la Liga this season. Very exciting football this season and the whole team is working so well. They got their defense and offense so on point this season it’s just madness. It’s like monster that can do both on the highest level. With unbelievable consistency. The only thing not making me rank them first is that their young players have almost no experience in the UCL and the olders not that much. Expected for 5 or 6 players and only for a real starters.

5 Bayern They could easily win it but their just not constant. One game they each a Team 8:0 the game they loss against the 15 place of the third Bundesliga. When their show their best game every game in the UCL they win there is no other team with so many elite and world class players that can turn a game around on their own. Kane, sane, Coman, musiala, Gnabry , Müller, goretzka, Kimmich , Davies Even Tel or Laimer . It’s just ricdouls

    1. Manchester City. I don’t even like them in general, but I think they should be number one. They have incredible talent, depth and variety of options. They have a top 5 player on his position, on pretty much every single position on the pitch, sometimes top 1 (Rodri, Haaland, Ruben Dias). Last season they also proved to be able to dominate teams like Real Madrid or Bayern, I won’t even talk about what they did to Leipzig. The only ways I can see them not winning the competition are a) they reach the final, Pep overcomplicates things (like 2021) and they lose it or b) they heavily underestimate an “easier” team in the knockouts (Real Sociedad for example) and they get knocked out that way, like 2020.
    2. Real Madrid. There’s a nice mixture of incredibly talented younger players (Jude, Vini, Valverde etc) and really experienced guys (Kroos, Rudiger, Carvajal). Their defense seems to be slightly better than last season (except the Atletico game), the only problem is the lack of striker. If Jude stops scoring so consistently, there’s no player that can. Rodrygo has 1 goal in 13 La Liga games, Vinicius barely scores this season as well.
    3. Bayern. Incredibly talented squad, Kane is a huge upgrade than last season. Mazraoui also seems to start getting better, in a position that Bayern hasn’t had a very good player recently. But their squad depth is very questionable, especially with the title chase in the Bundesliga this season. They currently have only one center back available and two central/defensive mids.
    4. PSG. Unpopular opinion, because most of us hate them. But, having watched their games against Dortmund and Milan, I think they’re much better without Messi and Neymar. They got destroyed by Newcastle because they played a 4-2-4, but I think Luis Enrique learnt from his mistake. Very good goalkeeper, defense and incredible attack. Also they might have their most balanced midfield of the last years, none of Vitinha, Zaire-Emery or Ugarte are world class star players like Mbappe, but they’re playing very well at the moment. Also they’re in an easier league, so they can rotate much more than teams like Real Madrid or Manchester City.
    5. Inter. Just like you said, really good team overall, amazing wingbacks and Martinez is on fire. Only problem is that last season they had a relatively “easy” path to the final after that difficult group (Porto, Benfica, Milan), so we haven’t really seen them in knockout games against the really elite teams.

    Honourable mentions: Atletico, Barcelona, Arsenal.
