“Finally sneaking out from behind the spectre of arch-rivals Real. Many envious eyes are looking at Sergio Aguero—among others.” (Simon Williams)
13. Villarreal La Liga (2.91)
“El Submarino Amarillo have punched above their weight for a number of years now, solid in Europe and finishing second in La Liga last season. They have transferred that good form into the new campaign, and held Manchester United to a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford—no mean feat.” (Alan McGuinness)
“It is clear that Villarreal are a force to be reckoned with this season. They have good players who can help them repeat the performances of last season, if not do even better.” (Yoosof Farah)
12. FC Porto Portuguesa Liga (3.05)
“Champions League winners just four years ago—dominant at home, and dangerous abroad.” (Simon Williams)
“Have so far proven there is life after Jose Bosingwa and Ricardo Quaresma.” (Alan McGuinness)
11. AC Milan Serie A (3.50)
“Milan have dropped into the UEFA Cup, but the Italian giants remain one of the best sides on the continent, especially with the likes of Ronaldinho and Kaka at their disposal.” (Salaar Shamsi)
“After having a stinker season last season, they could yet make this a magical
one. The addition of Ronaldinho to a midfield already boasting Kaka and Pirlo is scary.” (Salomon Gonzales)
10. Olympique Lyonnais Ligue 1 (5.64)
“Once again leading the league, they have quality players like Benzema, Kallstrom, Toulalan, Grosso, Keita, and Juninho—who will be key to any success Lyon could have in the Champions League this season. The semifinals are not beyond them.” (Yoosof Farah)
“The reigning French champions are lying in first place in the league and seem eager to win their seventh consecutive Ligue 1 title. With a quality side full of French stars, they are likely to have another good season.” (Zahi Sahli
