Owen Hargreaves says Bayern Munich are the only team who can stop Manchester City from winning the Champions League.

City reached the competition quarter-finals with a win over Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday.

"This is the City team that has best chance of winning Champions League," Hargreaves told BT Sport.

"Defence sorted; I don't think this team has a weakness anymore. This is City's best chance, they have lost previous shootouts [Monaco, Liverpool, Spurs], now they are playing at their tempo, don't concede and score a tonne of goals.

"They have four No 10s on the pitch tonight. I don't see them going to shootouts anymore.

"I think you have to say it is [conceivable City can win the quadruple] just from the form they have.

"They don't really concede. Won 21 of the last 22. We all know the margins are so fine at that highest level and if you don't get the details right, you can go out.

"I think Pep realises now that playing this way maybe he can control some of those little details.

"The only team I see that can stop them, is Bayern Munich. That's probably the only one I see. But if they have a bad day then as we saw with United, they can be beaten."
