Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand is backing Liverpool to win the Champions League. The BT Sport pundit has said the reigning champions are his favourites to reclaim the title despite Manchester City's impressive win over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. Pep Guardiola's side came from 1-0 down to win 2-1 on Wednesday night with goals from Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne putting City in control of the last 16 tie.
