Champions League: ‘They’ve No Excuse,’ Patrice Evra Names Club To Win Trophy

Manchester United legend, Patrice Evra, has backed Manchester City to win the Champions League this season.
Evra believes Man City have no excuse not to win the Champions League this season after adding striker Erling Haaland to Pep Guardiola’s squad this summer.
Haaland has scored 14 goals in 10 matches this season, three of them in the Champions League.
The Norway international joined the Premier League champions from Borussia Dortmund earlier this summer.
“He (Haaland) is a monster,” Evra told Betfair.

“He is using his physique, he’s a killer in front of goal, he does the right movements, he’s sharp for someone tall and strong. He’s like a cat.
“He got them back on track and that’s why he’s a number nine, and this is a real number nine. City were winning the league without a striker, but in the Champions League they struggled, now I feel like they have no excuse.
“When they lost that final against Chelsea, Guardiola decided to play without any striker, now this won’t happen again.”
