Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi reckons Liverpool have it in themselves to clinch Champions League glory this season in a repeat of their 2018-19 heroics in the competition.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have been firing on all fronts early on this campaign barring a shock defeat away at West Ham United in the Premier League which came prior to the recent international break.
The Champions League front has been a fruitful one for the Merseysiders who have already booked their spot in the Last-16 with two games still left to play for.
The Reds are suggested by many as one of the teams who could go all the way to lift the coveted title come the end of the 2021-22 season and Argentine superstar Lionel Messi is one among them who has backed Jurgen Klopp’s men for European glory.
In an interview with Spanish news outlet MARCA, the former FC Barcelona man has tipped Liverpool for the top prize besides adding that the likes of Manchester City and Bayern Munich were prime contenders too.
“Today, Liverpool is very well, it has returned to being the Liverpool that won the Champions League.
“Then there are [Manchester] City, Bayern [Munich], [Real] Madrid, Atlético [Madrid]…
“There are many teams that can fight for this Champions League, which is one of the most even and competitive in recent years because there are several teams that can choose to win it.”
