Barcelona ace Leo Messi rates Manchester City and Neymar's PSG as their two biggest rivals in the Champions League this season.

However, speaking with Marca, Messi won't rule out his eternal rivals in the Champions League either, far from it.

"City is one of the strongest teams at the moment together with PSG," he said.

"So far, they have been the two teams that have shown themselves to be favourites, but this is a very long and tough competition.

"I never rule out Madrid because although they're not having the results that everyone expects, I have no doubt that in the end they will be fighting for everything, as they do every year.

"Bayern is another big team that will also be there at the end, but it's true that today City and PSG are the best."
