The Champions League has a new format for 2024-25. Forget group tables, instead we saw a 36-team league stage being contested from September through to January. But now that has been completed, who has the best chance of progressing to the final in May and lifting the trophy? Throughout the season, we will publish projections — powered by Opta data — to show how teams are expected to perform. These will update after each matchday. The competition’s expanded format might take a little time to get used to, but these projections can show you how it might all unfold.
