Clarence Seedorf believes Arsenal must be considered favourites to win the Champions League after Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s 5-4 win against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
PSG edged an exciting match on the Parc des Princes with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele each scoring twice, while Joao Neves scored a header from a corner.<\/p>\n
Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Dayot Upamecano and Luis Diaz found the web for Bayern as PSG squandered a 5-2 lead within the second half.<\/p>\n
During his post-match evaluation for Prime Video, Wayne Rooney criticised each teams for his or her poor defensive display and claimed even PSG\u2019s players could be unhappy with the result having conceded 4 goals.<\/p>\n
\u2018I believe Luis Enrique is a top coach so after they had the advantage at 5-2, I believe then he must have said, \u2018right, let\u2019s shut up shop, let\u2019s get behind the ball, make it hard, see the tie out\u2019, potentially that might\u2019ve got them to the ultimate but they didn\u2019t, they went for more goals,\u2019 Rooney said.<\/p>\n \u2018Vincent Kompany has got a really attack-minded team, and I believe you would clearly see they haven\u2019t worked that much on defending because among the goals we\u2019ve seen are schoolboy goals.<\/p>\n \u2018At this level, we\u2019ve seen some sensible but immature defending, which is crazy.<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019d like to play in a game like that but I used to pride myself on defending so I believe I might\u2019ve been upset that we conceded that many goals.<\/p>\n \u2018I believe overall going into the sport next week, I\u2019d be much happier being Bayern Munich. To depart here with only a goal [behind], knowing which you can rating goals against PSG, you may tighten it up a little bit bit, I believe the advantage is with them [Bayern].\u2019<\/p>\n Seedorf, a four-time Champions League winner, then suggested that Arsenal, who play Atletico Madrid in the primary leg of their semi-final tie on Wednesday night, might be considered the strongest team remaining within the Champions League because of their defence.<\/p>\n \u2018Ask the goalkeepers in the event that they\u2019re completely satisfied. They usually are not completely satisfied, a clean sheet was all the time sacred for goalkeepers,\u2019 Seedorf said.<\/p>\n \u2018We’ve seen a team like Arsenal making that difference this yr, having so many clean sheets and coming all the best way.<\/p>\n \u2018So if I needed to indicate one team now, that might be capable to really bring it home due to that capability, actually it\u2019s Arsenal.\u2019<\/p>\n Rooney went on so as to add: \u2018I don\u2019t see how, in case you\u2019re a player or a coach, irrespective of in case you\u2019ve won the sport, you go into that game having conceded 4 or five goals and be completely satisfied. I believe there\u2019s got to be questions asked.\u2019<\/p>\n For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Follow Metro Sport for the newest news on ![\"PARIS,](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SEI_295046760-e5e7.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=646\")
