Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has thrown his weight behind Paris Saint-Germain as the team most likely to lift the Champions League trophy this season. The English football icon shared his thoughts during an appearance on TNT Sports, emphasizing that the French powerhouse is exceptionally tough to overcome when performing at their peak.
Gerrard’s endorsement comes on the heels of PSG’s thrilling 5-4 victory over Bayern Munich in the first leg of the semi-finals. That result has only strengthened the belief that the Parisians have what it takes to go all the way. When pressed on which club he would wager on for the ultimate prize, Gerrard admitted that PSG has been his top pick from the very beginning.
“I haven’t placed any money on it, but my choice has always been PSG,” Gerrard stated. Having watched them narrowly miss out last year, he remains convinced that their best form is virtually unbeatable. The Reds legend highlighted their ability to dominate games as a key factor in his prediction.
Despite their advantage, PSG still face a stern test in the second leg at the Allianz Arena. A commanding performance will be required to fend off Bayern Munich and secure a spot in the final. Gerrard’s faith in the Ligue 1 champions, however, remains unshaken as they aim to conquer Europe’s premier club competition.
