REAL MADRID

Manager: Zinedine Zidane

Key man: Federico Valverde (below)

Leading scorer in Champions League: Karim Benzema (5)

Odds to win: 10/1

NM Verdict: The most successful club in Europe lack the A-listers who have decided previous Champions League campaigns. They are third in La Liga and in something of a transition with the ageing Luka Modric still of use and Karim Benzema required up front. It would not be a shock were Liverpool to reverse the result of the 2018 final, with Real’s Sergio Ramos out, and gain revenge.
