Former footballer Paul Merson believes that only Arsenal is capable of stopping Manchester City from winning the Champions League this season. Despite a recent draw with Liverpool, Manchester City are having a tremendous season and are still in contention for multiple trophies.

With the FA Cup quarter-finals against Newcastle United coming up, Manchester City are also waiting to find out their next opponents in the Champions League. Merson’s statement highlights the strength of City’s squad and their potential to secure another European triumph.

Merson’s comments came during a discussion on Sky Sports News, where he emphasized the importance of experience in challenging a team like Manchester City. He pointed out that Arsenal, who have been on a winning streak, could pose a challenge to City in the Champions League.

As the Champions League enters its final stages, City will face tough competition from the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain. The draw for the next round will determine City’s opponents, with teams like Borussia Dortmund, PSV Eindhoven, Atletico Madrid, and Inter still in the mix.

While Arsenal would be a formidable opponent for City, Merson suggested that teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich could also present significant challenges. With very few easy games left in the competition, City will need to be at their best to secure another Champions League title.
