Former England and Real Madrid manager Fabio Capello has backed Arsenal to beat Paris Saint-Germain and reach the UEFA Champions League final this season.
Capello insisted that Arsenal have a lot of personality and something extra in their squad at the moment.
Arsenal booked their place in the Champions League semi-final stage after eliminating Real Madrid in the quarter-final.
PSG, on the other hand, knocked out Aston Villa from the competition.
The winner between Arsenal and PSG will face the winner between Barcelona and Inter Milan in the Champions League in May.
“Arsenal have it all: quality, balance on the pitch and good physical condition, like PSG at the moment,” Capello said at the Laureus World Sports Awards while previewing the Champions League semi-final.
“From that point of view, both teams are equal.
“But I think Arsenal have something extra right now: quality and physical strength.
“Both teams have a very good team spirit, but Arsenal have a lot of personality.
“They play together, they work together. The pace of their matches is very high.
“It will be a very good match, but if I had to bet, I think Arsenal will be the better team,” he added.
