A report in Spain claims that Real only needed two meetings with the Bayern Munich star to convince Lewandowski to join. And Real fans say very often that the only missing piece in their current team is a world-class no.9. What do you think? How would Lewandowski help Real with attacking if he joined the club?

Experts of last DAILY TOPIC: After today's draw, who do you think are most likely to win the UCL? And why?
@Upwardly2015: The question of which team is most favourite to win 2017/18 UCL is hard to say for certainty. On a general note, Barcelona, Man City, Real Madrid and others ordinarily come to mind. On the other hand, anything can happen, including the most unlikely team like Sevilla with determination and some element of luck. Did every football pundit not predict Man Utd as most favourites to win against Sevilla? I'm sure we all witnessed how Man Utd lost out in their own home soil.
While Barcelona, Man City and Bayern Munich being league leaders in their various countries may be a bit overwhelmed, thereby leaving UCL as Real Madrid's only hope of a trophy, nothing stop any of them from winning UCL in addition to their respective league titles.
I believe Barcelona and Man City are the most favourites when further narrowed down! The two teams are formidable and have been consistent in winning matches compared to Real Madrid that may only bank more on experience.
From the analysis above I'll settle for BARCELONA, MAN CITY AND REAL MADRID in that order for the most favourites teams for UCL trophy.
My sincere apologies for Bayern Munich, Juventus, Liverpool, AS Roma and Sevilla who are considered as my group B teams on the favourites prediction.
@fahad8351: It's tough to settle down in one conception when it comes about Champions League. Every team is capable and eligible for the honor of being Champion after completing the phases of round 16.
First of all we need to look into the weakness and strength of the teams that can make them go through or knocked out.
Barcelona vs AS. Roma seems an easy choice, but we need to remember that AS. Roma have a good midfield when Barcelona is weak in defending counter attacks and they always find it hard in away matches. If Barcelona can play how they played against Chelsea then I can say it will be a nightmare for AS. Roma.
On the other hand, Juventus are in very good form while Real Madrid are suffering some bad defending experiences in the La Liga. Though, Real Madrid is different when they play Champions League, Juventus are not like PSG. Their defence is like great wall of China. But, still we know they conceded 2 goals against Tottenham and their Main striker Higuain sometimes lost his rhymes in big matches. If, they can improve their defending than how they were against tottenham I can pretty sure they will go through.
Bayern and Liverpool are not playing up to the mark this Champions League. Bayern Lost against PSG and some minnow teams unexpectedly in their league games. So, there are a lot of chances to be slipped from the quarter final or semifinal.
Now, come to the most consistent team in this season, ManCity. they are playing fantastic. Like Gardiola's Barca. But, I have to say you, They are not Barca. They have a little experience in Champions League like PSG. Only, facing EPL teams and Play good doesn't mean you will play likewise against Barcelona, Real Madrid or Juventus. Sometimes Experience matters. I think ManCity will be eliminated in Semifinal.
In the conclusion, The finalist will be the winner of Real Madrid vs Juventus match against Barcelona.
And, lastly I will bet for Barcelona as they have a Legend with them named Messi. He, alone can make difference in a match. He has a hunger for winning trophies for his team than anyone has ever. And, this year he deserves it.
Barcelona#winner_CL18.
