Rio Ferdinand has already made his Champions League winner prediction ahead of this week's semi-finals.
Chelsea are in action this evening, facing Real Madrid in the first leg of an eagerly-anticipated tie. The other semi-final sees Manchester City take on Thomas Tuchel's former side, Paris Saint-Germain.
Last season, Blues boss Tuchel guided the French side to the Champions League final, only to be beaten by Bayern Munich.
Ferdinand believes that experience will leave PSG in good stead to win the tournament under new boss Mauricio Pochettino.
"I think Paris Saint-Germain will win it," he predicted on his Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE YouTube channel.
"They have the experience of last season, two strikers, the business end of the season they know what it’s about now.
"They’ve been here together, they’re not fazed and I think they’ll have the experience. Pochettino comes up smelling of roses after a turbulent couple of years."
PSG are having a below-par season in Ligue 1 and sit second, one point off leaders Lille.
Yet Ferdinand believes a poor domestic campaign will have little impact on Pochettino should they win the Champions League.
He said: "I don’t think they’ll care. If he wins the Champions League then he’s outdone everyone because that’s what they are here for.
"Don’t forget, he’s only come in halfway through the season. His fingerprints ain’t all over that league."
Ferdinand added: "He might get treated like Roberto Di Matteo: win the Champions League and then gets told to do one.
"You never know, we’ll see.
"But my guess is that if he wins the Champions League they’re giving him a statue outside that place almost."
