Champions League final: Eto'o makes bold Chelsea-Man City prediction

The Cameroon legend has also highlighted Mason Mount and Phil Foden as two youngsters to watch out for in the final...

Cameroon legend Samuel Eto'o has thrown his weight behind his former club Chelsea in the upcoming Uefa Champions League final against Manchester City on Saturday.

Eto'o, who played for the Blues in the 2013-14 season, is delighted that Thomas Tuchel's side managed to reach their first Champions League final since 2012. However, Chelsea are up against a tough opponent in Manchester City who are searching for their first European crown.

Although Pep Guardiola's City are considered overwhelming favourites for the final in most quarters, Eto'o has dismissed such suggestions and feels Chelsea have every chance of leaving the city of Porto as European champions.
