Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has late this week revealed his take on the favourites for this season’s Champions League.
Barcelona, of course, enjoyed a fine campaign on the continent last time out.
After battling their way all the way to the competition’s final-4, the Blaugrana came within a whisker of clinching a finale berth.
After a last-gasp Inter Milan goal sent the semi-final tie to extra-time, though, it was the Nerazzurri who held their nerve to march on.
With a further year of experience under their belts, Hansi Flick’s squad are considered among the leading contenders for Champions League glory this time round, too.
Speaking during an interview with **[Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20250913/1002530976/lamine-secreto-personalidad-retos-rivales-ve-champions.html)** this week, the subject of Barca’s main rivals for the title of European champions was in turn put to attacking sensation Lamine Yamal.
And the 18-year-old went on to name five clubs, as follows:
”Manchester City or Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain… they’re always there.”
