'Honestly think' - Joleon Lescott makes bold Man City Champions League prediction after Liverpool defeat

Joleon Lescott has warned the way Saturday's FA Cup semi-final finished will have a greater psychological impact on Liverpool should they meet Manchester City in the Champions League final next month.

The title rivals played out a dramatic 2-2 draw at the Etihad in the Premier League a little over a week ago but at the weekend at Wembley it was Liverpool's day as they clinched a 3-2 victory to reach another domestic cup final. An Ibrahima Konate header a Sadio Mane double gave the Carabao Cup winners a comfortable 3-0 half-time lead but two goals from City after the break led to an intense end to the match.

And the sides could yet meet in the final of the Champions League, too. Pep Guardiola's team take on Real Madrid in their last-four clash while Liverpool will need to navigate a tie against Villarreal.
