Julien Laurens and Guillem Balague preview the Champions League, discussing favorites and key players. Laurens doubts PSG can win three in a row, calling it impossible without Cristiano Ronaldo. He predicts Bayern Munich and Arsenal will reach the final, with Arsenal winning due to the best defense in Europe.

Balague notes PSG's irregular start under Luis Enrique but expects them to reach the last four. He also highlights Barcelona's flying form and Arsenal's consistency, predicting those three in the semis unless they meet early. Both pundits name players to watch: Jude Bellingham for Real Madrid, Nico Paz for Como, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for PSG, Donyell Malen for Roma, Harry Kane for Bayern Munich, and Lamine Yamal for Barcelona.

They expect these stars to be decisive in the competition.
