Through Marca, former midfielder Mesut Ozil commented on this season’s Champions League race.

At the beginning of the 2023/24 season, fans of the foggy country expect Premier League teams to continue to show strength. The financial potential and force of Man City, Arsenal, Newcastle, Man Utd, Liverpool, Brighton, West Ham, or Aston Villa are overwhelming compared to their competitors in the same weight class in Europe.

After the group stage, except for Newcastle and Man Utd, which caused great disappointment, the remaining clubs still showed their strength. However, in the knock-out rounds, the true face of English clubs gradually appears.

In the quarterfinals, Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and West Ham all fell gradually. Currently, only one English club is present in the semi-finals of three major European Cup tournaments this season. It’s Aston Villa in the Europa Conference League.

After the quarter-finals, Mesut Ozil commented: “It was a great fight. Man City showed why no one wants to face them. They dominated the match most of the time… if not all of it.” chief.

But Madrid are still very smart, as always. They defend very well. I shouted: “Hala Madrid!” after Toni Rudiger’s penalty, so you can imagine how I felt. Very interesting.

I think now Real Madrid is the most popular team. I believe they can win the Champions League.”
