Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has named four teams he thinks can win the 2025 Champions League crown. Real Madrid have won two of the last three titles.

Pep Guardiola’s men were eliminated before the Champions League last-16 phase by a dominant and exceptional Real Madrid. The hosts had a one-goal after their comeback win at the Etihad and they never looked like giving it up.

Guardiola, who led City to its first Champions League title in 2023, has been saying his team is “miles away” from where it should be, though it had showed spurts of the dominant squad that he led to a series of titles in recent years, including in the 4-0 rout of Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday.
