Former Juventus midfielder, Andrea Pirlo, has named Liverpool and Manchester City, among five clubs that can win the Champions League this season.

The Italian legend also tipped Juventus, Barcelona and Bayern Munich to challenge for the title.

Asked to name the favourites to win the competition this season, Pirlo told Sky Italia: “There are four or five teams, including Juve.

“Then there are Liverpool, Barcelona, Manchester City and Bayern Munich. The teams are more or less those.

“While the championship is a thing in itself, Juventus has shown and is proving to be a step or two steps above the others.”
