Clubs competing in the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League need to manage their squads across at least two competitions, as many clubs are still pursuing honors at home while playing for Europe’s top prize. ESPN FC’s Craig Burley discusses the importance of having a big, deep squad and assesses which teams left in the Champions League make the best use of their depth. Burley ranks his top five from the 10 betting favorites to win the competition, according to Caesars Sportsbook: Liverpool, Manchester City, Barcelona, PSG, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Real Madrid, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and RB Leipzig.

Ha. This was interesting and fun to be so improvised after a point….refreshing in it's own way.
When Juventus can substitute cr7 and bench de light. You know who got the deepest squad ,
JUVE WINNING UCL ⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪
Is this dude saying fat or fit
Craig still hungover over the last night's party??
Lol. Real Madrid have by far the deepest squad.
As a Barca fan, we shouldn't even be on that list lol.
Our attack consists of Griezi, Messi and Fati atm with Dembele returning in a few weeks. Our mid is just out of shape. And our defense is extremely thin as well (thank you Barto ?).
Deepest squad is def. NOT who spends the most money, look who juventus has acquired for free in the last few years….. emre can for free, sami khedira for free, rabiot for free, not to mention players before such as pirlo and pogba. Add to that some very astute buys, such as dybala from palermo for 30 million, who is now worth 80 million, and demiral, whose apparent value has doubled in half a season, then you have the ability to spend the big bucks on ronaldo, de light and higuain
In terms of our and out depth I’d go:
Man City
Juve
Real
Liverpool
PSG
Barca are nothing these days without Mesi. They have big names but all are old or aging
People still sleep on real madrid ??
Liverpool does not have a deep squad.
Liverpool have depth in all positions. Clyne is returning from from injury. Keita and Milner too. Minamino and Adrian fixed the holes in the squad
Looked like he is drunk
Bla,bla,bla Doesn't seem he just talked ,not analysis the squad
Why isn't Man Utd not in the list of top 5 in Europe? Oh sorry…they are not in the Champion's League….hahaha…. Lol.
The Juventus squad depth is absolutely ridiculous. Emre Can is the last choice midfielder at Juve, Bernardeschi, Costa, Ramsey, Dybala and Higuain just alternate around Ronaldo in attack. Buffon is probs the best back up keeper you can have, and even with Chiellini injured De Ligt and Demiral were kind of taking it in turns to play with Bonucci with Rugani to fill in for them. Such an unpredictable team as even after half a season there's really not a clear lineup, they change depending on other teams characteristics and player form.
In my opinion Juventus win champions this year.
Man city ? Oh no ? no no no
Liverpool have about ten big injuries and City have one big injury and that means City have a better squad? Okay.
1. Manchester City
2. Liverpool
3. Real Madrid
4. Juventus
5. Barcelona
What a joke….
True as at today. The clubs with the deepest squad in Europe.
Liverpool aren’t deep, they’re just efficient
