"The Women's Champions League is under way, with Arsenal aiming to defend their title, Barcelona chasing a sixth consecutive final, and Chelsea hoping to lift the trophy for the first time. Manchester United's presence marks a second consecutive season with three Women's Super League teams in the competition. This season promises exciting clashes, emerging stars, and potential upsets, but who are the 10 favourites to win the competition?"
"Perhaps the surprise package, Atletico Madrid have progressed past the qualifying rounds for the first time since 2020/21. While they've struggled to compete with Barcelona in Liga F in recent years, an unbeaten start this season, including a win over rivals Real Madrid, suggests potential to cause upsets in Europe. Key players include Chelsea loanee Julia Bartel, former Manchester United midfielder Vilde Boe Risa, and star Brazilian forward Luany."
"PSG, runners-up in 2015 and 2017, shockingly missed the 2024/25 Champions League group stage after losing to Juventus, ending a six-year streak of reaching at least the quarter-finals. New signings include Crystal Dunn, Olga Carmona, Rasheedat Ajibade, and young Canadian Florianne Jourde, but they lost key players like Kadidiatou Diani to rivals Lyon and Grace Geyoro to London City Lionesses."
