According to former professional footballer Rio Ferdinand, Paris Saint-Germain is now the main contender for the final victory in the Champions League. Taking advantage of a postponement of his match against FC Nantes, the Parisian club enjoyed an increased preparation time in view of its return of the quarterfinals against Aston Villa, after a convincing victory on the way (3-1). This break allows optimal concentration on the European objective, capitalising on a positive dynamic.

Ferdinand justifies his opinion by highlighting the performance shown by Luis Enrique’s team during the game go against Aston Villa. He put forward a demonstration of authority, discipline and talent, stressing that the victory was not the result of a mere individual brilliance, but of a genuine team cohesion. The former player observes a global mastery of the game, demonstrating an impressive collective strength.

Based on previous meetings, including the successes against Liverpool and the domination displayed against Aston Villa, Ferdinand expresses his conviction that Paris Saint-Germain is now the undisputed favourite to win the prestigious European competition. He perceives a team capable of exercising total control over his opponents and establishing itself as a major force in the title race.
