Following the confirmation of the four semi-finalists on Wednesday, former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott selected the “favorite” squad to win the UEFA Champions League championship.
In the upcoming weeks, one of Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, or Arsenal will be declared European champions for this season. After the quarterfinal stage ended on Wednesday, all four teams secured their spots in the semi-finals.
With a 5-1 aggregate victory, Arsenal ousted Real Madrid from the Champions League. Barcelona overcame Borussia Dortmund, PSG defeated Aston Villa, and Inter Milan defeated Bayern in the two-leg matchup on the final eight. Following Wednesday’s victory over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, Walcott predicted that Arsenal will win the Champions League.
The former England international told BBC Sport, “I want Arsenal to win it and they are definitely capable of going all the way.” After defeating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, they will now be favorites, but I’m concerned about Inter Milan for some reason. I believe they have a genuine chance as well based on their defense. “But it’s still very open, and I can’t even predict who will win with any degree of certainty at this point, let alone the final.”
