Man City ace Toure backs Real for Champions League, Brazil for World Cup

Yaya Toure is of the belief that Real Madrid can win the UEFA Champions League this season.

The Manchester City midfielder was quizzed by RMC Sport on who he feels will take out Europe's premier club competition and he suggests the Spanish giants will be too good for reigning champions Bayern Munich as well as French giants Paris Saint-Germain.

"Bayern are a good team. PSG, with what they did at Camp Nou last year (drawing 1-1 with Barcelona), showed that they could be challengers," Toure said.

"I see Real Madrid too. It will be tight. But I would say Real."

Regarding this summer's FIFA World Cup, Toure felt hosts Brazil held favouritism.

"And the World Cup, Brazil. They are at home, where they are intractable. Brazil is the favourite," he added.
