Manchester City are favourites to lift the Champions League trophy again (Picture: Getty Images)Rio Ferdinand believes Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are good enough to challenge for the Champions League this season, but believes Manchester City will be lifting the trophy again on 1 June at Wembley. That makes it four wins from four games for Pep Guardiola’s team and they have already guaranteed qualification, although are yet to secure top spot. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have both played three matches, but are both also boasting an 100 per cent record so far and looking good. Asked for who can challenge City in the Champions League, Ferdinand told TNT Sport: ‘Real Madrid have obviously got that relationship with this tournament and they’ve got some fantastic players, Jude Bellingham in fine form. We have high standards and and that is why we are still in the Premier League up there and qualified from the Champions League.
