Capello: Real Madrid are ahead of the other teams in the Champions League, next is Manchester City [jiayu]


This season's Champions League reform, after this week's Champions League draw, Italian manager Capello talked about the situation of the Champions League in an interview.

Real Madrid won the Champions League last season, do you think they are still ahead of other teams in the Champions League this season?

On paper, yes. But they also face stiff competition from other opponents and the first one that comes to mind is Manchester City under Pep Guardiola.

And then which team?

I like Inter, they have the potential to be competitive in all competitions. Not only the big squad, but the most important thing is the mentality, the Champions League final in Istanbul, the Serie A title last season... They have everything they need to make it all the way to the end. Then there are Arsenal, who have shown they are capable of competing with Manchester City and who can aim for the Premier League and Champions League trophies.
