Could Arsene Wenger finally win the much-coveted trophy

#4 Paris Saint-Germain

Will Emery go a step further to win the UCL

The Ligue 1 champions are one of the heavyweights of European football but are not among the elites. In the Champions League, they have never gone beyond the quarter-final stage. However, no team can underestimate them at any stage.

Finishing second to Arsenal in the group, and just like the Gunners, they have a mammoth task at hand – they have Spanish giants Barcelona in the next round. Their dominance in the domestic league has been challenged this season but they have been impressive in the UCL so far.

Manager Unai Emery achieved a lot with his limited Sevilla squad in the Europa League. With PSG, he will now hope to achieve the next target and win the Champions League. The departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hit them hard but they have a quality squad to steer them through.

On the other hand, the Barcelona midfield hasn’t been impressive recently, and they rely a lot on Messi, Suarez and Neymar. If PSG play their best football, they have the talent to put aside any team in Europe.
