Cristiano Ronaldo names the teams that can win the UEFA Champions League 2023/24 

Three teams are Cristiano Ronaldo's top picks to win the UEFA Champions League: Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich. The Al-Nassr sensation started the current campaign without taking part in Europe's top club tournament for the first time. Ronaldo, the five-time winner of the coveted trophy, is nonetheless familiar with the competition even in his absence and is also the all-time top-goalscorer of the competition.

Thinking back on his experiences, especially his four Champions League victories with Real Madrid, Ronaldo has affirmed Carlo Ancelotti's team's ability to compete for titles and shown faith in them as they recently defeated FC Barcelona in the Spanish Super Copa. Ronaldo offered his thoughts on the situation in a statement quoted by the famous football journalist Fabrizio Romano. Cristiano Ronaldo said: 

“Manchester City have good chance to win the Champions League again”. Favorites? Man City, Real Madrid, Bayern.”
