Football fans all over the world are excited about the return of Europe’s biggest club competition after the summer hiatus, with several world-class players looking to lift the trophy. Chelsea overcame all odds to lift the Champions League trophy last season, with matches largely played without fans.
The 2021/2022 season started with some surprising results and fans returning to stadiums, although it is still early to predict who will take home the trophy this season. Nonetheless, we can make several bold predictions on how we expect the Champions League to proceed this season.
Paris Saint-Germain Won't Lift The UEFA Champions League Trophy
The Ligue 1 side has a lot of confidence in winning the title since they are banking on the talented players in the team. However, the new signing for the French side Paris Saint Germain, Lionel Messi is still fresh.
PSG is under pressure as Kylian Mbappe is leaving next summer. That means the team's path to the final could face many challenges, especially in the group stages. That’s considering that the game between PSG and Club Brugge ended in a draw, although PSG dominated the game in possession.

Three Premier League sides to make UEFA Champions League quarter-finals
The premier league is getting more competitive, and the teams represented in the UEFA Champions League are some of the strongest. In last year's edition, Manchester City and Chelsea reached the finals and they’ve both strengthened their squads this season by signing new players.
Manchester City signed Jack Grealish while Chelsea signed Romelu Lukaku to strengthen the striking force in the team. Manchester United feels on the top after signing world-class players Jadon, Sanco, Raphael Varane, Bruno Fernandes, and Cristiano Ronaldo. There is a higher possibility for the premier league sides to make it to the quarter-finals.
Ajax will win Group C
Ajax has started the Champions League campaign on a high note by beating Sporting Lisbon 5-1. However, the team still has a hurdle to overcome as they have Borussia Dortmund and Bekistas to face in group C.
The Ajax side looks strong even after losing players from the previous seasons. Some years have passed since their dramatic semi-finals, but the team has promising players who can assist the team in topping the group.
Robert Lewandowski to win the golden boot ahead of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo
The contest for the top scorer in the Champions League has just started. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are great at scoring goals, but they are settling in their teams. Unfortunately, the 2009 Manchester United team is different from how the team looks in 2021.
This season Christiano is expected to perform well, although the outgoing Lewandoski might be an uphill task. Different PSG players are also expected to score lots of goals this season since the team has several quality players, although Messi might not shine while with the squad as he used to in Barcelona.
