'They'll be favourites now' - who tipped Arsenal to win Champions League?
BBC Sport journalists and pundits have had their say on who they think is going to win the Champions League this of them have predicted that Arsenal's semi-final opponents Paris St-Germain are going to lift the famous trophy, but three have said they think it will be the Gunners that win it for the first time in the club's history:Football news reporter Alex Howell: Mikel Arteta's side have faced a lot of adversity this season and have found their stride in the Champions they are excellent and with the attacking threat of Bukayo Saka, the Gunners have the quality to hurt any team left in the Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha: As I look at the two ties left now, I think it is going to be one of the first-time winners, so either Arsenal or PSG, whoever comes through their is a shame for one of them because they are the two best teams in the competition. It is very hard to choose between the two but I am going to go for Real Madrid, even if this is not the best version of Real Madrid is one thing, but to go to the Bernabeu with all the talk about a comeback and be so robust showed they have what it in terms of how they are prepared to defend and suffer, and still have a threat in attack, I would argue they are the most complete team left in the Arsenal forward Theo Walcott: I want Arsenal to win it and they are certainly capable of going all the will be favourites now, after going to the Bernabeu and beating Real Madrid, but there is something about Inter Milan that worries me. The way they defend makes me think they have a real chance is still so open, though, and I can't even call either semi-final right now, let alone the final - it is too hard to say who will win it with any can read all the predictions here
