Sergio Aguero believes Tottenham Hotspur can win the Champions League
This season the Champions League has started well for two Premier League clubs, with Manchester City beating Sevilla 4-0 and Tottenham beating Marseille 2-0.
It started in disarray for Chelsea and Liverpool, with the London side losing 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb, leading to the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.
Liverpool also suffered a loss, but in a much more brutal way when they lost 4-1 to Napoli, adding to their poor start to the season.
Normally the English teams are the favorites for the Champions League, but Sergio Aguero thinks it could be a dark horse this season.

A Richarlison double gave them three points in the first game of the group stage of UEFA’s biggest club competition.
Aguero has kept secret about their chances of victory this season. Speaking to stake.com, he said: “With Pochettino, Tottenham already had a great performance in the Champions League. And now with Conte, a coach with a lot of experience, they have managed to be a very solid team.
“He knows how he wants to play and his counterattack can be deadly. He has added Kane and Son with Richarlison and two wingers who are very good assistants like Kulusevski and Perisic.”
“It will be a very difficult rival for any team. They could be a big threat in Europe this year.”
As well as Marseille Tottenham, Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon and Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt are in their group.
