​Shearer: Man City can be one of the best teams ever - if they win Champions League

Alan Shearer has made the bold proclamation of saying that if City were to win the Champions League, they could be seen as one of the best football teams EVER.

It is a bold statement that Shearer made in his column for The Sun:

"It doesn't take a genius to tell us Manchester City are playing scintillating football right now," he wrote.

"Some of the best we have ever seen in this country? I would say so.

"Between now and May, six more wins in the league and Man City have the title.

"They could well go on to beat two records — both set by Chelsea — for best Premier League points tally of 95 in 2005 and most goals scored at 103 in 2010.

"Five more wins in the domestic cups and they will have bagged a Treble.

"They have one foot in the last eight of the Champions League too and on this form even Real Madrid and Barcelona should be worried about the ultimate destiny of this season's trophy.

"Win all four competitions and they will be placed in the pantheon of not just the greatest club sides in England but in the world."
