Messi: Man City and PSG are Champions League favourites
Lionel Messi believes Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are the
strongest teams in Europe this season and the favourites to win the
Champions League.
Led by Messi's former coach Pep Guardiola, City are sailing at the top of the Premier League with 34 points, eight more than nearest rivals Manchester United, while they have a perfect record in Europe.PSG are also five wins from five games in the premier club competition and are looking strong at the top of Ligue 1 with Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe in attack.
Messi sees those two as the biggest dangers to Barcelona's hopes of winning the Champions League this season.
"City is one of the strongest teams at the moment together with PSG," he told Marca .
"So far, they have been the two teams that have shown themselves to be favourites, but this is a very long and tough competition."
