Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has named Manchester City as the favorite in the upcoming UEFA Champions League.
The 69th season of the main European Cup will begin on Tuesday, September 19. Los Blancos will enter the fight for the 15th trophy in its history the next day with a home game against Union Berlin.
Football Espana quoted the Italian specialist as saying:
City are favourites because they have a squad that saw them win it last season and they haven't changed much. However in the Champions League, like always, there are surprises at the end.
Earlier Ancelotti came in second place in the number of victories at the head of the Vikings in all tournaments. Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola said that the goal of the "citizens" for the European Cup campaign will be to get out of the group.
The previous UEFA Champions League ended with Manchester City's first ever victory. The Citizens defeated Inter with a minimum score in the decisive match.
