UEFA Champions League Power Ranking Ahead Of Quarter-Final Stage
Days after the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw, the power ranking of the round was released which showed the team that is most likely to win the tournament.
Recall that the European Football governing body, UEFA announced the draw for the quarter-final round on Friday, March 15.
Following the draw, Rabona TV revealed the power ranking ahead of the round and projected that Manchester City have the biggest chance of winning the trophy.
If this is anything to go by, the reigning Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and FA Cup champions are expected to knock out Real Madrid who they have been paired to face in the quarter-final stage of the competition.
Recall that Real Madrid passed through the same route when they won the Champions League two seasons ago. Interestingly, Manchester City followed the same route to win the title for the first time in their history.
This also means that Manchester City are expected to defeat Bayern Munich or Arsenal in the semi-final stage of the campaign because they are expected to meet the said clubs en route to the Champions League final.
Below is the UEFA Champions League power ranking ahead of the quarter-final stage:
1. Man City
2. Real Madrid
3. Arsenal
4. Atletico Madrid
5. PSG
6. Bayern Munich
7. Barcelona

I Haven’t Received Any Salary Two Years Into My Tenure As Governor – Soludo Reveals
Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, revealed that he has not received any salary from the state since he assumed office two years ago.
Naija News reports that the governor made the revelation on Sunday during the celebration of his two-year tenure at the International Convention Center, Awka.
Emphasizing his commitment to implementing austere measures, Governor Soludo highlighted the lengths to which his administration has gone to cut costs, including his decision not to procure an official car for the First Lady of Anambra, who continues to use his personal vehicles.
This move is part of a broader strategy to demonstrate the government’s capacity to manage resources effectively and avoid unnecessary borrowing.
“We have chosen deliberately not to borrow, demonstrating the capacity to do more with less,” Soludo stated.
He explained that despite the state receiving approximately 25% less in real terms compared to previous administrations, his government has successfully avoided taking on new debts.
This development stands in contrast to common practices where new administrations often resort to borrowing to fund projects.
Governor Soludo also assured the people of Anambra that their resources were being judiciously managed.
He vowed to maintain transparency, especially regarding any future borrowing, which he said would be openly accounted for and invested in projects that are self-sustaining and capable of repaying the incurred debt.
The event, which also served as a thanksgiving mass, saw the participation of the Catholic Bishops of Nnewi and Awka, Most Rev. Jonas-Benson Okoye and Most Rev. Paulinus Ezeokafor, respectively.
