On Tuesday, former footballer Glenn Hoddle took on the role of a pundit for the Champions League. As he shared his insights and predictions, he declared with conviction that one team was destined to reach the final ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City's upcoming matches.
While the Gunners were set to face Bayern Munich in the second leg of their quarter-final on Wednesday, the current title-holders, Manchester City, were preparing to take on Real Madrid. But the previous night's matches had already determined two of the four semi-finalists, with Paris Saint-Germain knocking out Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund eliminating Atletico Madrid.
Looking at the current lineup, Hoddle confidently stated that PSG would emerge victorious against Dortmund in the semi-finals and secure their spot in the final. "What I saw tonight with Dortmund, I can only see PSG winning this game," he told TNT Sports. "They were good, but it was an open game. I just don't see PSG losing that game."
Hoddle also praised PSG for becoming a more well-rounded team, with a strong balance between defense and attack. He also highlighted their star player, whom he believes is the best in the world. "It might be the last time we see him in the Champions League in a PSG shirt," Hoddle speculated, as he expressed his confidence in the French champions' journey to the final.
Meanwhile, PSG manager Luis Enrique was overjoyed after his team's victory over Dortmund and shared his thoughts on the importance of bringing happiness to the fans through their performance. "The best feeling when you are a player or a coach is seeing that your work makes people happy," he said. "You can't buy that feeling. The feeling of getting something special for the club is great."
As for Dortmund's coach Edin Terzic, he acknowledged that his team's previous match against PSG had not been their best, but he was optimistic about their chances in the semi-final. "In the second game, we adjusted to them better and were closer to victory," he said. "I think we're a better team today than we were against them in the group stage."
