| Beckham predicted AC Milan to win the Champions League despite them not being in the competition |
DAVID BECKHAM has had an absolute nightmare predicting his Champions League winner this season.
The former Manchester United midfielder has backed AC Milan to win Europe's elite competition… even though they aren't in it!
The ex-Real Madrid star failed to tip Rafael Benitez's team to European glory but did stay loyal to his other former sides, United and Paris Saint-Germain, by suggesting they could win the trophy.
When asked who he fancied to land a coveted Champions League title, Beckham explained: "Who do I want to win is a different story to who I think is going to win... or maybe it's not actually!
"I'm going to have to say Man Utd, PSG or AC Milan - one of those three.
Beckham added: "One of those three I'd like to see win, but when you're in the Champions League, you realise how important this competition is.
"It's one of the best competitions to actually play in and definitely to win."
Beckham was also asked who he most enjoys watching in the competition.
"Apart from the normal suspects, you know, I'm going to have to say Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo," he added.
"I think [Alvaro] Morata is an exciting player and [Marco] Verratti for PSG. I played with him, he's such a great, talented player. And, of course, Neymar.
"I think there are so many great players out there, but to pick a few, I'd have to say them.
"On the England side, I think I'd have to say Wazza [Rooney]. Wayne is playing so well for United and he's had a good start to the season so we'll see."
