Louis van Gaal believes Liverpool will not win the Champions League because they have less individual quality than both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Jurgen Klopps side are in Fridays semi-final draw after beating Manchester City home and away in the quarter-finals.

But Van Gaal, who failed to get United out of their Champions League group in the 2015-16 campaign, is backing Bayern Munich to triumph in the final next month.

In comparison to the other teams, especially Real and Bayern, [Liverpool and Roma] have less individual quality, Van Gaal told Ziggo Sports.

But in principle they are not candidates, but they are a good team and that is always dangerous.

If I have to bet now, I would put my money on Bayern Munich.

In my opinion they have the best defence and a coach who adapts his team to the opponent, but who also assumes his own qualities, which is the key to success.
