Rio Ferdinand has cast doubt on Arsenal's chances of winning the Champions League, suggesting that Mikel Arteta's side would struggle against at least four other teams.

The Gunners put themselves in a commanding position to reach the quarter-finals after a stunning 7-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven, a historic result that made them the first team to score seven goals in a Champions League away knockout match.

Arsenal's emphatic win came at a crucial time, following two underwhelming performances and seeing Liverpool extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
