Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack believes Liverpool possess the quality to win the Champions League this season.

Liverpool recently secured a 2-1 victory over Lille, extending their unbeaten run in the competition.

Speaking to Sport Bild, Ballack praised the Reds, stating they are currently a dominant force in the Champions League.

“Judging by their performances so far, Real Madrid are not my top favourite.

“That would be Liverpool, who who are currently dominating the Champions League.”

He added, “I was positively surprised by how Arne Slot managed the transition after the Jurgen Klopp era came to an end.

“It is always twice as difficult when you follow greats like Klopp or somebody like Jose Mourinho at my former club Chelsea, who achieved something unique.

“I see Atalanta as the secret favourite. They have a clear plan offensively and defensively and dominated Bayer Leverkusen in last year’s Europa League final.”
