Ferdinand Crowns PSG as “Best Team on the Planet” to Watch
London Afrik24 – Manchester United legend and TNT Sports pundit Rio Ferdinand has thrown a curveball into the debate over world football’s current hierarchy, naming Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as the “best team on the planet to watch” right now.
Speaking on his Rio Ferdinand Presents YouTube channel, the former England captain didn’t stop at the squad, also hailing Parisians’ boss Luis Enrique as the premier manager in world football at this moment.
Ferdinand singled out PSG not just for their results, but for their aesthetic appeal.
He stated that the tactical identity Enrique has instilled in the squad makes them the most entertaining side globally.
Despite the presence of titans like Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti, Ferdinand insisted that Luis Enrique is currently operating at the highest level, claiming their manager is the best right now at this point.
Turning his attention to the domestic front, Ferdinand doubled down on his belief that Arsenal will clinch the Premier League title under Mikel Arteta, reiterating his preseason prediction that the Gunners will finally win the league this year.
Analysis: A Shift in the European Hierarchy?
Ferdinand’s comments come at a time of significant transition for PSG.
After years of relying on “Galactico” individual brilliance, the team has shifted toward a more cohesive, high-intensity system under Enrique.
While Manchester City and Real Madrid have long held the mantle of “world’s best,” Ferdinand’s endorsement suggests that the French champions have finally found the specific factor that combines tactical discipline with pure entertainment.
