Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has named Brazil and France as the biggest favourites to win the World Cup later this year.

In an interview with Il Messaggero, Ancelotti tipped his favourites to win international football’s most prestigious prize.

“Brazil and France are the strongest teams, then I say Argentina, there is always [Lionel] Messi,” Ancelotti said.

He went on to add: “Spain is the other big one to watch. I add England and Germany, teams that have begun a process of renewal.”
