Lionel Messi has once again done an interview with Spanish outlet Marca. Among several topics, the Argentine discussed the favorites to win the coveted UEFA Champions League title this season.

Liverpool, who have been running riot since the campaign kicked off, are Lionel Messi's top candidates to win the European crown this term.

The likes of Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were also mentioned by the six-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Apart from the top clubs, a number of teams have impressed us with their performances in the Champions League this season and are capable of staging a surprise.

Lionel Messi admits the competition is even this term as there are many clubs who can emerge victorious. He said:

Messi will be hoping to inspire PSG to claim their first-ever Champions League title this season after joining the Parisians during the summer transfer window.

The 34-year-old signed a two-year contract with the Ligue 1 giants after parting ways with Barcelona. He has linked up with former Barca colleague Neymar and French winger Kylian Mbappe to form a formidable attacking trio at the Parc des Princes.

It remains to be seen if they'll be able to make history in Europe come the end of the term.

Despite a slow start to life in Ligue 1, Lionel Messi has had a promising start with PSG in the the Champions League this season. His first goal for the club in the tournament was a powerful effort against Manchester City on September 28.

The forward followed it up with a fantastic brace against RB Leipzig in the next fixture. Leo missed PSG's most recent Champions League game through injury.

But he is expected to return to action as the Parisians face Manchester City in the tournament once again this evening.
