Former Bayern Munich and Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has named the team with the best midfielders and defenders in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

He believes that Paris Saint-Germain have the two best fullbacks in the game.

PSG will take on Arsenal, while Inter Milan will play Barcelona in the semi-finals of this season’s Champions League.

Before reaching this stage, PSG beat Aston 5-3 on aggregate, while Inter Milan sent Owen’s former club, Bayern Munich, crashing out to set up a semi-final clash with Barça.

Owen, a former England international, is of the opinion that PSG are strong in every department.

“Right now, those two [Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi] are the best in the Champions League,” he told Rio Ferdinand’s YouTube channel.

“[Desire] Doue looks like he’s got rockets in his shoes, he’s looking at players knowing they can’t stop him.

“Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is different. Vitinha plays like Modric. [Joao] Neves is unbelievable.

“The back four is crazy good, the midfield three compliment each other and up top they’ve got pace and skill.”
