But Gerrard, who won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005, believes PSG will see off Bayern in the semi-final and go on to beat either Arsenal or Atletico Madrid to win the tournament for a second successive season.

When asked who he would put his money on to win the Champions League, Gerrard said on TNT Sports: ‘It’s been on PSG since the beginning.
‘I haven’t had a bet financially but my choice was PSG. The final last year, I just think they’re so good when they’re at their best, they’re so difficult to beat.
‘I think it’s kidology from Luis Enrique’s point of view because at 5-2, a coach or a manager’s position, you think if you can get away 5-2 up it’s game over. I think now it’s very risky, Bayern are capable of winning the game.
‘But I just think PSG, the chances Real Madrid had [against Bayern], and they were not in a good place as a collective, PSG will go there full of confidence, full of belief, they’re full of world-class players. I think they’ll punish Bayern Munich going the other way.’
