While City have endured their fair share of struggles in the Premier Leagu, they have been excellent in the continental stage, having won all their six group fixtures in a pool that included RB Leipzig, Young Boys, and Red Star Belgrade.

Their incredible form has seen them backed to retain the Champions League crown at the end of the campaign.

Terry makes UCL prediction

While Arsenal are aiming to win the European title for the first time in their history, Terry does not see them challenging City for the trophy.

The former Chelsea defender has instead backed Real Madrid as the only team that has what it takes to challenge the reigning champions for the crown.

"I think you have to look at Real Madrid. They've been fantastic for the last seven or eight years in the competition, and they're always there [in the latter stages]," Terry said via Sportbible.

"I think Jude Bellingham's been incredible as an individual. They have a fantastic manager, I worked alongside Carlo for many years at Chelsea and he's a great man manager. The players love him, and he's great tactically," he added.
