Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has opted not to pick Real Madrid as his favorite to win the Champions League this season. Instead, Ferdinand has chosen Paris Saint-Germain, who eliminated Liverpool in the Round of 16.

The reigning champions will take on Arsenal in the last eight, while Paris Saint-Germain’s reward for knocking out Premier League champions-elect Liverpool is a reunion with their ex-manager Unai Emery and his Aston Villa side who have been the competition’s surprise package.

The first was arguably the pick of the bunch. Dortmund attacker Julian Brandt rose highest at the near post to direct Julian Ryerson’s cross on target, with his glancing header requiring a reaction stop from Chevalier, who could not push the ball out of harm’s way.
