Real Madrid’s Sizzling Form Makes Them Frontrunners for the UEFA Champions League Title, Says Ruud Gullit
The 2022-2023 UEFA Champions League season has brought a refreshing wave of innovation to the world of football. With its new format and exciting twists, fans are eagerly watching to see how the competition will unfold.
In the wake of these changes, former Ballon d’Or winner Ruud Gullit has shared his thoughts on the tournament’s probable winner. In an interview with MARCA, as reported by MadridXtra, he reflected on the traditional favorites in the competition. “Selecting a top contender is always a tricky task,” Gullit said. “Personally, I’ve always had a soft spot for Bayern Munich, but in the Champions League, Real Madrid has an inherent edge. They’ve consistently demonstrated their strength in the tournament, and it’s hard to ignore that.”
Real Madrid’s impressive performance in last season’s edition of the Champions League, culminating in a thrilling final victory over Borussia Dortmund, further solidifies their reputation as a force to be reckoned with in European football.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have received a welcome boost ahead of their upcoming encounter with Inter Milan. The match, scheduled for November 6, is a crucial one, and the return to action of midfielder Martin Odegaard couldn’t have come at a better time. Odegaard, who suffered an injury while playing for the Norwegian national team, has been sidelined since late August. His comeback to training with the team has sparked renewed hope for Arsenal fans, who have missed his creative spark and leadership on the pitch.
While Odegaard’s return is a positive sign, it remains uncertain whether manager Mikel Arteta will include him in the starting lineup for the critical match against Inter Milan.
