John Dykes Says He Expects Manchester City to Win UEFA Champions League Soon

The Quint  

"I just think that because he is deliberately and consciously low-profile, he hasn’t been subject to the attention. Barcelona, which lost Lionel Messi in the summer before the season kicked off, have gone through a difficult phase since then, and the team is currently being managed by their former captain Xavi, under who’s tutelage the team’s fortunes have seen a dramatic turn. But that doesn’t mean they’re suddenly going to be good enough to compete in the latter stages of the Champions League," Dykes explained. "I think that they’re 3 years away from being able to compete with the very best in Europe, because financially also they will be operating with strict regulations." If Barcelona's fortunes without Messi weren't the best, the Argentine’s new club, Paris Saint Germain too, have not done too well since he joined them, crashing out of the Champions League against Real Madrid.
