Rio Ferdinand names his Champions League favorites as PSG beat Barcelona

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester City are the favorites to win the Champions League this season. The Citizens have never won the tournament, while their best result was in 2015 when they reached the semi-finals, only being beaten by Real Madrid. This term Pep Guardiola's side are in a good form and could compete for the title, and Ferdinand believes City will finally reach the desired trophy. Asked if the Premier League side are regarded as favorites, he told BT Sport: "I’d say so. I think Bayern don’t seem to be in the form that they were last season. "They dominated and took everyone out with that exhilarating football but they haven’t hit that form yet. I think they’re probably waiting and biding their time – with their experience. "But for me City look like the team in form and the team that are desperate to win this. They haven’t got over the line in recent years when everyone expected them to and this year…probably when people least expected them to they could be the team to surprise everyone."
