Jurgen Klopp says Man City and Bayern are favourites for UCL title

But the Reds will still have something to celebrate with this term as they have already won the Premier League title.

Man City are aiming to win the Champions League this season for the first time in their history under Pep Guardiola and are already on course to qualify for the quarters.

The Citizens defeated mighty Real Madrid 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League knockout game with another tie expected to happen before knowing who reaches the last 8.

Bayern Munich on the other hand have already put one leg in the quarterfinal after beating Chelsea 3-0 in the first tie and it will be hard for the Blues to overturn the three goal deficit for a chance to progress to the next stage.

With Barcelona and Juventus still in the race, Klopp feels is is Bayern Munich and City who stand a real chance to lift the European title.

‘’I think for me the two big favorites left in the competition are Bayern and Man City,” Klopp was quoted saying.

‘That would be an interesting game. Bayern played an impressive season in Germany after Hansi Flick took over and it was really impressive what they did and these two are the favorites,” he added.
