Dimitar Berbatov names club to win Champions League this season

Former Manchester United striker, Dimitar Berbatov has named Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City as the favourite club to win the Champions League this season.

The Champions League last-16 fixtures will resume in February and Man City will face Sporting.

Recall that the Premier League champions finished runner up in the Champions League last season after losing 1-0 to Chelsea in the final.

Speaking to Betfair, Berbatov said, “We always expect the English teams to dominate [the Champions League this season], but let’s not forget there are still some very strong European teams out there, like Bayern Munich, they’ve always been a great team and they know how to play.

“Looking at the Premier League teams, I know that City, Liverpool, Chelsea and United are the teams that the rest of Europe will be looking to beat.

“City are the favourites [to win the Champions League] but I still think Bayern Munich could have a big say in things this year.”
