Until other teams can demonstrate they can beat RM, which they haven't, they seem to find a way to win. KB is the best closer in the game. Hard to bet against this team. Ancelotti knows how to manage this team deftly and they have a strong bench. MC, which is the obvious favorite, hasn't demonstrated they can win the big one, including last year. If RM can control Haaland, and they can really pressure KD, MC won't win. RM defense is better than MC, which somewhat explained what happened in 2021.

No love for Ajax who have the first seed in their group? I guess we will find out this Tuesday whether they have the stuff to make a run. Even though they lost some very good players, the replacements other than at RW are better than those who left. Tactically, they are better than when ten Hag was managing the team. Remember that Schreuder was his key assistant in the 2019 run when they came within five seconds of making the final. People down play the Eredivisie but look at the dross of teams that make up Ligue Un and Serie A.
