Morgan Gibbs-White has backed Manchester City to win the Champions League again this season.
The Citizens won their first Champions League title at the end of last season after managing to get their hands on the Premier League and the FA Cup.
With Pep Guardiola’s side now on the hunt to regain those three titles this time around, one top-flight player has tipped them to do something they haven’t done before.
Gibbs-White says City will win the Champions League again
Speaking in a recent video on the Sky Sports Premier League YouTube video, Gibbs-White, as well as his Forest teammate, Neco Williams, chose City when asked who they think will win the Champions League this season.
Last season saw the Blues overcome Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Inter Milan to get their hands on the highly-coveted trophy in Istanbul.
So far in the Champions League this season, City won all of their group games, beating RB Leipzig, Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys home and away, scoring 18 goals and conceding seven along the way.
Once the tournament restarts next month, the Manchester club will be taking on FC Copenhagen in the two-leg round of 16 stage of the competition, starting with a clash at the Parken Stadium in Denmark before the return home leg in March.
Given their impressive run of results in the group stage, and the fact that they are the current holders, it’s understandable why Gibbs-White thinks City will win the Champions League again this time around, especially since he knows what it’s like to play against them as well.
Moving forward, if Guardiola is able to make history with the club again and guide them to a consecutive European victory, this would undoubtedly strengthen their status as one of the best sides in world football led by one of the best managers around.
