Manchester City are in the form of their lives and only one team can stop them from a Champions League triumph, says Owen Hargreaves.
Owen Hargreaves believes Bayern Munich are the only team that can stop Manchester City from winning the Champions League and a famous quadruple.
Pep Guardiola’s side are still fighting on four fronts after progressing to the quarter-finals of the European competition with a 4-0 aggregate victory over Borussia Monchengladbach.
City also have the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup, and another Premier League title in their sights this season.
While Guardiola has played down City’s chances of winning all four trophies, Hargreaves thinks they have a strong chance of doing so and claimed the only team who can stop them in Europe is last year’s winners of the Champions League.
“This is the City team that has best chance of winning Champions League,” Hargreaves told BT Sport.
“Defence sorted; I don’t think this team has a weakness anymore. This is City’s best chance, they have lost previous shootouts [Monaco, Liverpool, Spurs], now they are playing at their tempo, don’t concede and score a tonne of goals.”
“They have four No 10s on the pitch tonight. I don’t see them going to shootouts anymore.”
“I think you have to say it is [conceivable City can win the quadruple] just from the form they have.”
“They don’t really concede. Won 21 of the last 22. We all know the margins are so fine at that highest level and if you don’t get the details right, you can go out.”
“I think Pep realises now that playing this way maybe he can control some of those little details.”
“The only team I see that can stop them, is Bayern Munich. That’s probably the only one I see. But if they have a bad day then as we saw with United, they can be beaten.”
While talks of a ‘quadruple’ remain up in the air, Guardiola has urged his City side to be cautious and take it one game at a time.
