Allegri insists Barcelona are UEFA Champions League favorites and makes Man Utd prediction

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has given a prediction about Manchester United's game against Young Boys and has said that Barcelona are the favorites to win the UEFA Champions League.

A win for Juve against Valencia will take them into the next round of the Champions League. They did lose to United in Turin and the Red Devils will face Young Boys in their game later today.

Allegri was talking to the press before the Valencia game and he said: "The ratings of the team are not just for what they are doing now. They were second last year, if I was not mistaken. I said that Real was the favorite and was 17 points behind Barça.

"Too easy to say Juve or City, but Barcelona is the favorite, then there are other teams like us, like the other years. The arrival of Ronaldo has changed the perception, our ambition does not change.The last year I was not wrong, I hope I'm wrong year."

When talking about United, he said: "Valencia lose to United at home, but anything can happen in football but it seems unlikely. Valencia have some values, they are not the same as the first leg, they were closer to winning than they were against United, and they are organized on a defensive level. "
