Glenn Hoddle is convinced there is one team that will definitely reach the Champions League final ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City’s games.

The Gunners travel to Bayern Munich for the second leg of their quarter-final on Wednesday while Pep Guardiola’s side, the current holders, take on Real Madrid.

Those matches come after Tuesday night’s action which saw Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund book their respective spots in the last four.

PSG knocked out Barcelona while Dortmund eliminated Atletico Madrid and the French champions are now set to play the German side in the semi-finals.

Hoddle is certain that PSG will win that semi-final to set up a final against either Arsenal, City, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid.

‘What I’ve seen tonight with Dortmund, I can only see PSG winning this game,’ Hoddle told TNT Sports.

‘They were good tonight Dortmund but it was an open game. I just don’t see PSG losing that game.

‘They’ve become a better, balanced side in terms of defence and attack. They’ve got the best player in the world (Kylian Mbappe).

‘It might be the last time we see him in the Champions League in a PSG shirt. They’re in the semi-final and I think they will get to the final now.’

Meanwhile, PSG boss Luis Enrique was delighted after his side beat Dortmund and said: ‘The best feeling when you are a player or a coach is seeing that your work makes people happy.

‘There’s nothing better than that. You can’t buy that feeling. The feeling of getting something special for the club is great. Now we need to cope with the final and try to get ourselves to the final.’

Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic added: ‘Now we face Paris. Our first game against them wasn’t good.

‘In the second game, we adjusted to them better and were closer to victory. I think we’re a better team today than we were against them in the group stage.’
