Fergie reckons it’s the Euro Cup.

'The European Cup is bigger than the World Cup,' he said. 'All the best players are in Europe and this is an incredibly competitive competition. In their side tomorrow, Real will have Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and Luis Figo. That is an incredible selection to be able to make."

'For our part, we can embellish our own team with players of different nationalities like Roy Keane, Juan Sebastian Veron and Ryan Giggs. It means you can select a team, rather than organise one."

'If you look at the statistics of the last three or four World Cups, they don't get anywhere near the Champions League in terms of entertainment, goals and excitement. This is the tournament without a doubt.'
