In a recent interview, former Manchester United star, Rio Ferdinand, picked Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as the front-runner to win the UEFA Champions League, placing them ahead of Arsenal.
Ferdinand shared his opinion after watching PSG’s impressive comeback against Aston Villa in their quarter-final first leg, securing a 3-1 victory on Wednesday night. On the previous day, Arsenal had delivered a dominant 3-0 performance against Real Madrid at the Emirates, putting them in a strong position to advance to the semi-finals.
If Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal manages to knock out the defending champions, they will certainly be considered strong contenders for the trophy by the bookmakers. However, Ferdinand believes PSG, who previously eliminated Liverpool, are still the more formidable team to win it all this season.
“They showed authority in their performance tonight,” Ferdinand commented on TNT Sports. “They played with the confidence of a team that’s been successful in this competition many times before.”
He further added, “PSG are my favourites at the moment. Watching them dominate over two legs against Liverpool and then dismantle Aston Villa with such authority made it clear to me – they are the team to beat.”
In his analysis, Ferdinand acknowledged that PSG’s dominance in both legs against Liverpool and their commanding display against Aston Villa solidified their position as the favourites for the Champions League title this year.
