It begins today! Who are you favorites and dark horses?

I reckon Bayern has to be favorite again, so many other big clubs had major shakeups this summer and they've basically gotten deeper.

Dark horse is impossible to predict at this stage, I'll say Atleti Madrid though.

Tottenham are not in it again this season, but they're in the Europa League.


Sad to see them not in it, being an Arsenal fan.

Uhh...why? Shouldn't you hate Tottenham with an undying passion, being an Arsenal fan?

That said, i think, yeah, Bayern have to be considered favorites again considering the squad has only gotten stronger since they won last year and no other team really did much to catch them. I don't see Madrid doing as well as they hope without Ozil in the team.

Quite pleased with Chelsea's group this year. And with all our beautiful young eggs and caring dad I am very excited. Video for references: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WiX9v2VXKE4&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DWiX9v2VXKE4

I think it's a really hard 1 to call this season, lots of talent spread across the teams. Bayern with Pep at the helm have gotta be up there, and real madrid (ronaldo) were putting them away for fun tonight.
Juve's my dark horse

Wow what a performance by Madrid. They have also got to be favorites - they have a manager and assistant (Zidane) who know what they're doing and are more serious than last year. Having Bale and Ronaldo running onto balls from Isco, Xabi and Modric will be too much for most teams to handle.

Don't follow it really. I'll watch it all the time though when DirecTV gives you the Fox Soccer Channel freebies.

Bit disappointed Arsenal lost tonight.

Lewandowski even with a good goal at the end should've been sent off earlier for elbowing Koscielny in the face.
