Peter Schmeichel, Carragher & Henry predict Champions League winner

Peter Schmeichel, Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry have predicted who will win the Champions League this season as Premier League teams Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City battle Europe’s big sides for the trophy.

Chelsea welcome 13-time winners Real Madrid to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday for the first leg of their quarter-final clash.




Bayern Munich are also in action this evening, visiting Spanish team Villarreal as they look to take a huge step to reaching the Champions League semi-finals.

Last night, 2019 champions Liverpool beat Benfica 3-1 in Lisbon to ensure they will take a two-goal lead back to Anfield for the return leg against the Portuguese club.




Manchester City, yet to lift the Champions League despite their dominance in England, also got a win in their clash with La Liga champions Atletico Madrid at the Etihad.

Manchester United legend Schmeichel, former Liverpool skipper Jamie Carragher and Arsenal hero Thierry Henry have made their predictions for CBS Sports.

Schmeichel, who tipped Bayern Munich to lift the trophy, said: ‘There is too much going on between Liverpool and Man City. Too much pressure.

‘Real Madrid and Bayern are so far ahead in their leagues, they can rest players, they can prepare for this. Man City and Liverpool can’t.’
