Jamie Carragher projected who would be the Champions League winner, but made a barbed comment about one of his favourites along the way.
This week sees all four quarter-final first-leg games, and the former Liverpool man chose his selections during pre-game coverage on CBS Sports.
He expected different fates for both remaining Premier League clubs, as Arsenal and Manchester City prepare for the latter stages of Europe's biggest club tournament.
He said their 'experience' in the continent's biggest tournament would see German giants Bayern Munich overcome English league leaders Arsenal, whilst Man City would see off Real Madrid because they're 'the best team in Europe'.
On the other side of the draw, he tipped Atletico Madrid to beat Borussia Dortmund, and proclaimed 'Kylian is going to do it there', with Mbappe and his PSG teammates projected to eliminate Barcelona.
He then tipped PSG to beat Atletico Madrid in one of the semi-finals to reach the showpiece at Wembley on June 1, whilst Manchester City would be victorious over Bayern on the other side of the draw.
On the final, Carragher said: 'And the winner is, the team with 115 charges, Manchester City', with a 2-1 scoreline written on the board.
Manchester City are awaiting the outcome of 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League at the start of last year, for regulation breeches across 14 seasons from 2009-10 onwards.
The charges include claims over financial reporting, and a lack of co-operation with a Premier League investigation which was opened in 2018.
Premier League CEO Richard Masters said a trial date for Man City's case was set in January, but it has not yet been revealed when it would take place.
Mail Sport reported last year that the 'trial of the century' was pencilled in for late 2024, with a verdict not expected until at least the summer of 2025.
Manchester City deny any wrongdoing.
Fellow CBS pundits Micah Richards, Kate Abdo, Peter Schmeichel and Thierry Henry also took their turns with the prediction board ahead of Tuesday's games, which both ended as high-scoring draws.

“the team with the 115 charges”, is still the best team in Europe and they are the very team that makes epl the best league in the world. It’s because of the competitive nature of city that makes EPL the best league. If you want, deduct them 115 points and push them to league two, and let’s see in less than 3 years, without them where epl will be. The teams with the big names in EPL are only staggering from their names and past glories. Mentions are; Chelsea, United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, and co. They are not doing enough to keep the strength of epl glory ajar in Europe. It is only Mancity that make 14 time UCL winner shiver. They are the best Europe and the reason for EPL to be where they’re today. Think
your submission about Man city making EPL competitive is very shallow. I've seen in the past on several occasions that three EPL team will be in the semi final of Champions League. for three to four seasons an EPL team will play champion league final. your submission about EPL team is very wrong.

Arsenal will win CL this season
Joke of the season. They can't even Premier League not to talk of champions league. City will scoop the two trophies and add the FA Cup to make it three.
