Dutch legend Marco van Basten has picked his favourite team to win the 2024-25 Champions League title. According to him, PSG would beat Arsenal in the semifinals to set up a final clash with Barcelona. He believes that the Parisians would then defeat Barcelona in the final to claim the title.
Arsenal defeated European champions Real Madrid at the Emirates in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final. With the 15-time European champions on the back foot, van Basten sees PSG as the favourites for the title.
To reach this stage of the competition, PSG beat Liverpool on penalties and will face Aston Villa in the quarter-finals on Wednesday. The former Ajax and AC Milan striker said, as quoted by Metro: “I saw PSG play against Liverpool. That was special. I hope they continue in that vein. They are capable of beating Arsenal.
“Then you get the final, PSG against Barcelona. Then I’ll go for Paris for the fun of it, who can finally win the Champions League.”
The three-time Ballon d'Or winner added, “They’ve been investing and hoping for about fifteen years.”
