Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has made a u-turn on his Champions League final prediction as Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Inter Milan prepare for the decisive semi-final second legs.
The Gunners need to overturn a one-goal deficit in Paris to reach the final.
Mikel Arteta’s men lost 1-0 to the Ligue 1 champions earlier this week.
In the other semi-final tie, Barcelona came from behind twice to draw 3-3 with Inter Milan.
Barca travel to Inter next week with the tie finely poised.
Speaking ahead of the semi-final first legs, Ferdinand had tipped PSG to face Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
But he has now changed his prediction.
“I’m going to go Barcelona against Paris Saint-Germain,” he said on his YouTube channel.
“If there is a team who can go to PSG and win it’s Arsenal. I don’t think it’s about ability at this stage, I think it’s about mentality and belief.
“The problem for Arsenal is PSG are a proper team, I don’t think they’re invincible but they’ve been the best team in the Champions League.”
