He made his views known on Tuesday night while analysing the semi-final tie between Bayern and PSG on Amazon Prime.
In a high-scoring encounter, the French giants defeated the visiting Bundesliga outfit 5–4 in the first leg of their semi-final clash.

According to the Dutchman, Arsenal are in a strong position to win the European competition this season, given what he witnessed on the night.
He said: “Ask the goalkeepers if they were happy with the scoreline.
“We’ve seen teams like Arsenal getting so many clean sheets and making a difference. If there is a team that could bring it home, it could be them.”
Arsenal travel to Atletico Madrid for the first leg of their semi-final clash on Wednesday night.
