Defending champion Manchester City is an understandable betting favorite to repeat as the Champions League winner in 2024. Man City put fans and gamblers on notice with six wins in six Group G matches. So far, Erling Haaland leads Manchester Cit with five goals in five UEFA Champions League matches. Julian Alvarez added four goals in four matches. At the same time, Phil Foden added three goals in five matches.
Of course, the most valuable person in Manchester City is manager Pep Guardiola. When Pep arrived at Man City in 2016, they were a second-class citizen in their hometown to rival Manchester United. But in short order, Guardiola changed the narrative and gave the Blues a credibility never before realized.
Guardiola arrived from the German powerhouse Bayern Munich of the Bundesliga, German’s major professional league. While at Bayern Munich, Pep posted a win percentage of .752 with three consecutive league titles.
Previously, Guardiola made his bones at Barcelona in La Liga, the top major league in Spain. At Barcelona, Pep posted a .725 win percentage and won three consecutive La Liga championships.
Nobody expected Pep to dominate as he has at Man City, where he has a .722 win percentage and five EPL titles, including the last three seasons. Just as important, Guardiola led the Blues to the 2022-2023 treble, considered an almost impossible feat. The last team to do it was Manchester United in 1998-99.
