Jamie Carragher leaves Thierry Henry shocked after picking who could win the Champions League minutes after Man City's collapse

Jamie Carragher gave his prediction for this season's Champions League after Manchester City capitulated against Feyenoord on Tuesday night.

Jamie Carragher stunned Thierry Henry with his prediction for who will win this season's Champions League - minutes after Manchester City collapsed against Feyenoord.

Having been 3-0 up and cruising courtesy of an Erling Haaland brace and a strike from Ilkay Gundogan, City conceded three times in 14 minutes to draw 3-3 and made unwanted Champions League history in the process.

Anis Hadj-Moussa pulled one back before Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko struck to complete a stunning comeback for the Dutch side.

The capitulation left City boss Pep Guardiola scratching his head and with tricky away games against Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain approaching, there is a genuine chance that City do not qualify for the knockout stages under the new format.

They are currently 15th ahead of Wednesday's fixtures, having taken eight points from five games.

Winners in 2023, City went into the revised competition as one of the favourites but Carragher has a very different idea for who will go all the way this time around.

He feels that Serie A champions Inter Milan, finalists against City two years back, have it in them to win the Champions League for the first time since 2010. Carragher made his pick on CBS Sports and surprised fellow pundit Henry, a winner with Barcelona in 2009.

"They are potential winners. I think Inter could win it. When they got to the final against Manchester City, I looked at how they played in that final and obviously getting there. Last season I thought they were very unlucky to go out, I thought they were one of the few teams to maybe stop City.

"When you think of the best teams in this competition, we always go to City and Real Madrid - we always feel like one of them is going to win it.

"Liverpool weren't in it last season, they're back in it. The other team are Inter Milan, I think they're the four teams that can win it."


Carragher's prediction makes sense given the Nerazzurri are currently top of the 36-team Champions League table with four wins and one draw. Six-time winners Liverpool will return to the summit if they beat Real Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday.
