Ex-footballer-turn sports pundit Jamie Carragher has made his Champions League prediction as the tournament enters its penultimate stage.
Only four teams are currently firmly in the competition, with both Man City and Liverpool winning the first leg of their semi-final fixtures.
The Reds sunk Villarreal 2-0 at Anfield on Wednesday night, April 27, to have one foot in the final, while City will be hoping to get the job done when they take on Real Madrid in the second leg to be played at Santiago Bernabeu.
Jamie Carragher's Champions League prediction
With only a couple of weeks left before the winner of this season's Champions League is decided, Carragher has already made his prediction.
According to the Liverpool icon, Man City have no chance against Real Madrid despite winning 4-3 in the reverse tie played at the Etihad.
The ex-defender contends the La Liga giants will eliminate Pep Guardiola's men from the competition to stop a third all-English Champions League final.
In his prediction, the former England international backed a Real Madrid vs Liverpool final in a tie he feels the Reds will emerge victors.
"I think Liverpool will win the Champions League. The league I’m not so sure, Manchester City have a slight advantage in that if they win all their games they’ve won the league," Metro UK quoted Carragher saying.
"It feels like it’s Liverpool’s competition and they’ve got one foot in the final and I don’t think anyone else can say that," he added.
