Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi believes that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City can win the Champions League, as quoted in Marca.
Messi has said that Liverpool and Manchester City are among the top contenders for the Champions League this season.
The former Barcelona forward thinks that Liverpool are back to looking like the team who recently won Europe’s premier club competition.
Messi told Marca: “Now, Liverpool are doing very well. They are again [looking like] the Liverpool that won the Champions League. Then there are Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid…
“There are many teams that can fight for the Champions League, which is one of the most even and competitive in recent years because there are several teams that could win it.”
We are still in the group stage of the Champions League this season.
It is too early to call the winners.
However, what we can say for sure is that, as Messi notes. Liverpool are among the favourites and will fancy their chances.
As will Manchester City.
Liverpool are banging in the goals for fun in the Premier League and in Europe.
Klopp’s team have hammered Arsenal and Manchester United by big margins in the league.
The Reds have also scored 13 goals in four Champions League games.
City are defensively much better, and they also have a very good attacking unit.
Messi’s PSG are also a team who should be feared.
After all, along with Messi, Mauricio Pochettino’s side have Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in attack.
