Champions League: Sarri names two clubs in position to lift trophy this season


Chelsea boss, Maurizio Sarri has named two clubs in position to lift this season’s Champions League trophy.

Sarri projected that either Juventus or Manchester City will lift the Champions League trophy this campaign.

The Italian gaffer believes that Real Madrid, who have won it three times in a row, can’t repeat same feat this term.

“This season, there are two candidates to win the Champions League: Juve and Manchester City,” the 55-year-old told Corriere dello Sport.

“I always thought Pep Guardiola’s side was mature enough for the final step on the European stage, but then we’ll have to see how the Spanish clubs are doing in March.

“Things change quickly in the Champions League.”

Sarri’s men, who are not in the competition this term, will take on Manchester United in the Premier League this weekend.
