Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand is tipping Manchester City to win the Champions League this season.
After the English team’s 10-2 dismantling of Schalke over two legs, the ex England defender could not help but praise the amazing performance.
He told Talksport, “They’re the favourites for me,”
“In terms of depth, quality and the variations they possess, I think they’ve got the best squad.
Former City striker Paul Dickov also praised the strength in depth of Pep’s side and talked up their Quadruple chances.
His words, “It’s like five-a-side stuff they are playing at the minute. When they were 3-0, 4-0 up, it feels the norm at the minute, especially at the Etihad,”
“They’ve got such a strong squad. The last couple of weeks there has been no Fernandinho, no Kevin De Bruyne; Ilkay Gundogan has been sitting in front of the back four and has done phenomenal. The strength in depth they’ve got is scary, really.
“With the games left, you need a strong squad. Tonight, there was no Kompany, no Stones, Fernandinho, De Bruyne. They’ve all got to come back for that run-in too.
“Can they do it [win the quadruple]? Yes I think they can. It’s going to be really difficult, but with the squad they’ve got, I think they can do it.”
