UCL: ‘They’ll beat Arsenal in final’ – Shearer snubs PSG, names team to win trophy

Premier League legend Alan Shearer has named Barcelona as the team most likely to triumph in this year's Champions League. He confidently predicted that Barcelona will emerge victorious in the final, narrowly defeating Arsenal, to claim the trophy. Barcelona kicked off their Champions League campaign with an impressive win against Feyenoord, defeating the Dutch side 5-1.

Meanwhile, Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Napoli thanks to Martin Odegaard's late goal. Last season, Mikel Arteta's Arsenal fell short, losing the final on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain. Shearer expressed his belief that the reigning Premier League champions will again face a tough challenge in the upcoming contest. Addressing The Rest Is Football, Shearer declared, "Clearly it all depends on how the draw goes but I’m going to go to Barcelona to win it, beating Arsenal in the final.

'It would be unbelievable for them[PSG] to win it three times, winning it three on the spin, that’s why I’m going Barcelona.'"
