Sportskeeda described Merson as making the following prediction:
“The UEFA Champions League has already provided a number of outstanding matches this season, and we will see its return next month.
This season’s tournament has been difficult to anticipate, so I wouldn’t be shocked if there were a number of surprises in the knockout rounds.
The side that wins that match has an incredible opportunity, since I have two teams facing each other in my top five. This season, several of the favorites are playing each other, and I am excited about it.
The following are Merson’s top five picks for the Champions League title this year:
- Manchester City
- Bayern Munich
