Manolo Lama announces his favorite for PSG - Real Madrid: 'When it started...'

It's logical to think that at the start of the Club World Cup tournament, things would go very differently from what we're seeing now. While seeing PSG as European champion at this stage isn't unusual, there are indeed some major surprises. However, Manolo Lama talks about his favorite to win the tournament and now considers Madrid a real option.

"Until before today's match, PSG was my favorite to win it, but after today's match I have doubts because Madrid has grown a lot and they've decreased their performance a lot." With these words, he made it quite clear that the white team has the chance to win this prestigious tournament.

Obviously, they have to take the necessary precautions to face the current European champion, who, for many, is the best team in the world. It will be an extremely tough match where the team's development will have to be strengthened even more.

Manolo sees them as serious contenders

Some might say that the winner of the bracket featuring the white team and Paris Saint-Germain will be the champion of this tournament. This is something we've also seen in Champions editions and, of course, could happen again given the level of both teams.

The Merengue team, despite struggling in the final minutes against Borussia Dortmund, showed us a much more dominant game than in other matches. Meanwhile, PSG had an extremely tough match against Bayern Munich, where they clearly could have lost without any trouble.

This match will let us see a different version of the white team, where they'll surely have to fight much more for the ball. However, from the sports analyst's point of view, it seems things are starting to turn very much in favor of the whites and Alonso.

A heart-stopping duel

What is clear is that these two teams will show their best versions and, surely, it'll be a truly great match. A match in which both will try to show their best version and, with that, reach the final of the tournament.
