The music is already playing, and a new edition of the Champions Leaguestarts on Tuesday with Barcelona slight favourites to win the trophy ahead of Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid's Estadio Wanda Metropolitano awaits the finalists.

A vote on MARCA.com placed the Catalans as winners, with Julen Lopetegui's team only just missing out on making it four in a row.

Of those who voted, 35 percent went with Barcelona and 32 percent chose Los Blancos.

The rest are way behind.

A win for Atleti in their own stadium garnered just eight percent of the vote, the same percentage as Manchester City.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain find themselves even further back.

It's striking that Madrid were voted as the most disappointing team followed closely by Juventus and Atletico.

Tottenham were seen by MARCA voters as the team which will be a revelation in this season's edition.

If the majority see Barcelona as the champion, they also believe that Leo Messiwill be voted as the best player of this edition, ahead of Mbappe.

The Argentinian also gets the nod as top scorer beating Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.
