Within weeks of Bayern Munich clinching the 2019-20 Champions League title, the battle for the trophy is set to begin again. The 2020-21 Champions League season will see several strengthened sides, most of whom fell short of winning the accolade last time out. Former champions Liverpool will look to reclaim the UCL after their disastrous performance against Atletico Madrid in the round of 16. Barcelona, on the other hand, will look to clinch their sixth European title, a dream that was shattered mercilessly by Bayern Munich in that encounter in Lisbon.
