Man Utd legend Paul Scholes reckons Paris Saint-Germain are the \u201cbest team in the world right now\u201d ahead of their match against Liverpool.<\/p>\n
The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals have been taking place this week with Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal and PSG all among the teams in action.<\/p>\n
PSG face Liverpool in their quarter-final first leg at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night with the business end of the Champions League bringing up the topic about who the best team in the world is.<\/p>\n
Former Man Utd midfielder Scholes reckons PSG can claim the label of \u201cbest team in the world right now\u201d and a heavy defeat for Liverpool could see Arne Slot sacked.<\/p>\n
Scholes said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast<\/em>: \u201cDo you know the weird thing? Liverpool could actually go and beat PSG. If they get one of those special nights\u2026 Champions League\u2026 Anfield.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m telling you. It wouldn\u2019t be the biggest shock. PSG are unbelievable and I still expect them to go through but it wouldn\u2019t shock me. It could happen but I can\u2019t see it right now.<\/p>\n READ: Top 10 flops of the season: Liverpool, Newcastle shamed as Premier League clubs waste \u00a3680m<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cPSG are probably the best team in the world right now. Arne Slot knows he\u2019s in trouble and it looked like the players had given up in the FA Cup (a 4-0 defeat to Manchester City).<\/p>\n \u201cThe manager knows he\u2019s in big trouble now, he\u2019s not stupid is he? If they go out badly to PSG \u2013 and that tie could get messy \u2013 then that might be the end of it.<\/p>\n \u201cWhy bother keeping him until the end of the season if you go out of the Champions League? There will be questions if they go out against PSG, especially if it gets messy.<\/p>\n \u201cPSG, I\u2019ve said it a few times, they\u2019re probably the best team in the world. They can hammer teams and if they do that to Liverpool it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if they sacked him.\u201d<\/p>\n MEDIAWATCH: Manchester United discover free \u2018transfer masterstroke\u2019 as Plan B after \u00a365m \u2018snub\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Real Madrid once ranked as the best team in the world but they showed they are not quite there at the moment as they lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n Ahead of their match against the Bavarian, Real Madrid head coach Alvaro Arbeloa insisted that the Spanish side have the best players in the world and must show they can be \u201cthe best team in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n Arbeloa said: \u201cTo win in football, you have to get a lot of things right in every phase of the game.<\/p>\n \u201cTo be a great team, you have to be very well-drilled and have that collective mindset. Perhaps that\u2019s what I\u2019m emphasising most to the players.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have the best players, but we must also be the best team in the world. We have to put our talent at the service of the team.<\/p>\n \u201cA Madrid side that has always stood up to big rivals. Bayern are having an exceptional season. We know just how much they\u2019ll push us on the pitch.<\/p>\n \u201cOur history with Bayern is always special.
