City lifted the Champions League for the first time in the club's history last season, beating Inter 1-0 in the final in Istanbul. Ronaldo, who lifted one European Cup with Manchester United and four with Real Madrid, thinks Pep Guardiola's side had deserved the trophy far earlier.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ronaldo said: “Manchester City did amazing. Congratulations on their season. Players, coach. Superb. Finally they win the Champions League, they probably deserved it two years ago. I enjoy seeing them playing. Manchester City have a good chance to win the Champions League again. Favourites? Man City, Real Madrid, Bayern."

WHAT RONALDO SAID

It's no surprise to seel Ronaldo tipping Guardiola's side for glory once again. City added to their treble-winning squad in the summer by spending heavily on players including Jeremy Doku, Josko Gvardiol and Matheus Nunes. The European champions also cruised through the group stage of the Champions League, finishing with a 100 percent record to set up a tie with FC Copenhagen in the last 16.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Guardiola's side have already picked up the Club World Cup this season and will hope to add to their trophy haul, with the City boss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/pep-guardiola-man-city-will-win-fourth-successive-premier-league-title/bltdfc99870a073f2e2" target="_blank">having already claimed his team will win the Premier League</a> title for a fourth successive season. The Cityzens return to action on January 26 with an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Tottenham, before resuming their Premier League campaign five days later at Burnley.
