Liverpool given better chance of Champions League glory in 2026/27 than Real Madrid

Liverpool are viewed as one of the most likely teams to win the 2026/27 Champions League, according to objective calculations, despite only just qualifying for this season's tournament. The Merseysiders have a 6.11% chance of securing the trophy, which places them sixth on the list of teams with the highest odds of winning, behind Arsenal (20.88%), Bayern Munich (19.37%), and Manchester City (12.28%).

Even though Liverpool have won the Champions League twice in recent years, they are not expected to lift the trophy this season, especially considering the challenging path they had to navigate to secure their qualification. Their main focus should be on avoiding a February play-off round and targeting a top-eight finish in the league phase, which would set them up for a repeat of last term's quarter-final run.
