The two-time winner of Europe's premier club competition feels Alexis Sanchez of Arsenal and Sergio Aguero of Manchester City form an elite group
Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs says there were only two world-class Premier League players on show in the Champions League this season.
Neither of those are still gracing the competition, with Leicester City the last British team standing at the quarter-final stage.
Tottenham failed to make it through their group, while Arsenal suffered a humbling 10-2 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich in the last 16.
Manchester City also fell at that hurdle, with away goals sealing their fate following a thrilling 6-6 draw with Monaco over two legs.
