Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has explained why Manchester City might win the Champions League this season.
Rooney said he would easily put his money on Pep Guardiola’s side, praising the Spaniard’s management skills and the team’s impressive form throughout the season.
The former England international, while not ruling out the ability of the other teams still in the competition, such as Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Inter, believed strongly that this would be Manchester City’s year.
“Since the start of the season, I’ve felt this would be the campaign when Pep Guardiola would finally conquer Europe,” he wrote in his column in The Times.
“But the biggest change is Erling Haaland, of course.” “Without Haaland, however, it wouldn’t have gotten to that stage.”
