The former Real Madrid and Juventus manager has shared his opinion of the world’s best team.
Fabio Capello ranks Manchester City as the ‘best team in the world’, citing Erling Haaland’s arrival as a game-changer for Pep Guardiola’s side.
The Premier League leaders will face off against Capello’s former team, Real Madrid, in a first-leg Champions League semi-final contest on Tuesday in Spain.
Europe’s premier club competition is the only trophy missing from City’s cabinet.
“I think City is the best team in the world. This year makes the difference,” Capello said at the Laureus Awards on Monday.
“Last year, [they] missed the forward, and this year you have a really important forward. Not only this – you have 24 players. When you make the substitution, always a fantastic player is entering. Real Madrid, I think [have] 14, 15 players.
“They probably will be a little bit tired (after winning the Copa del Rey on Saturday evening), but they have the best coach in the world, Carlo Ancelotti.”
Capello added: “Carlo knows everything about the openings, and we prepare the games really, really well. I hope, Carlo, we will win.”
