Spanish forward of Moroccan descent, Lamine Yamal has declared his club Barcelona as favourites to win the 2024/25 Uefa Champions League title.
According to him, the club’s chances of clinching the enviable trophy has increased especially now that Liverpool have been eliminated from the competition.
Yamal insists that Barcelona are not afraid of any team and will push to win the trophy.
“Now that Liverpool have been eliminated, we are favorites to win the Champions League. We are not afraid of any team, we are a family. We are not the same team as one year ago when we faced PSG,” he told sport.es.
Barcelona are in the quarter-finals of the Uefa Champions League after overcoming Portuguese side Benfica in the Round of 16.
In the last eight stage, Barcelona will take on Borussia Dortmund in what should be an interesting tie.
Although the German Bundesliga side will give Barcelona a tough challenge, the La Liga leaders are considered favourites heading into the tie.
