Andriy Shevchenko was one of the best forwards of the past decade. He conquered a Champions League, won a Ballon d'Or and led his Ukrainian national team to play their first World Cup, which is why he is respected in the football field.

The popular 'Sheva' was in charge of drawing the balls in the Champions League draw, determining the matches that will take place in the quarter-finals. The retired player determined the ties and ventured to give his favorite to win the competition.

"If Messi plays like he did on Wednesday, Barça will be the European champion this season. This Messi is unstoppable. We already saw it against Chelsea. He is at a very high level," said the Ukrainian to Mundo Deportivo.

Finally, Shevchenko also mentioned Real Madrid and Manchester City as the other teams with possibilities to win the tournament, a title he won with Milan in the 2002/2003 season.
