With the Champions League semi-finals about to get underway, former Manchester City striker Aguero has claimed holders PSG have the ‘best likelihood’ of lifting the trophy once more.
‘I believe PSG are doing thoroughly,’ Premier League legend Aguero told Stake. ‘It’s challenging to be back-to-back champions, but today each Bayern and Paris are very strong.
‘We’ll see what happens, but I believe PSG have many probabilities. They play in the identical way, they’ve very difficult players to stop, they’re dangerous and today they appear a bit more complete.
‘With Luis Enrique they know exactly what they need and the way they wish to play. I believe today all of us think Paris have the perfect likelihood.’
Arsenal try to win the Champions League for the primary time but Gary Neville has major doubts over their European credentials.
Waiting for their semi-final tie, Neville told Sky Sports: ‘That can be an enormous struggle, Atletico are a team that suffocate you actually when it comes to the way in which they play.
‘There won’t be any prioritisation between the competitions because you’ve gotten to go for each. I believe these Arsenal players know they need to win the Premier League they usually’re probably not considering that in regards to the Champions League.
‘Numerous these players don’t know tips on how to win a Champions League, but they’ve been so close within the title race they usually’ll be so desperate to not fall short in that.
‘I do think that Mikel Arteta has to go for each single game and never prioritise any over the opposite, but he knows that the Premier League is the one which’s easier to win than the Champions League without delay.
‘I believe there are higher teams in there than them within the Champions League and it’s a cup competition.
‘They’ve got three games left they usually’ve only got 4 left within the league, so you possibly can argue that it’s easy to win each.
‘But I don’t see them getting past Atletico Madrid and the opposite teams within the semi-final, but I do see them having a likelihood with the league.’
