Chelsea legend Pat Nevin thinks that despite the hype around Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League win over Real Madrid, Manchester City are still the better side and likely to progress furthest in the competition.

Spurs overpowered Real Madrid at Wembley in their group stage encounter and ran out 3-1 winners, with Cristiano Ronaldo netting a late consolation for Los Blancos.




Mauricio Pochettino's men had chances to score more goals, but the result has still sent shockwaves throughout European football.

But while Spurs were beating Real Madrid, Manchester City were putting Serie A league leaders Napoli to the sword in Italy, winning 4-2, with goals from Nicolas Otamendi, John Stones, Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling.
 


And Nevin is sure Manchester City are better than Spurs and lauded their displays this term.

"They have every right to think they can finish in the final four of the Champions League.

"We are going on about Tottenham a lot tonight and rightfully so, but I still think Manchester City are the better team.

"They have been phenomenal this season!"

Both Manchester City and Tottenham have now booked spots in the last 16 of the Champions League.
