Rio Ferdinand didn't hesitate when choosing between Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland

Rio Ferdinand didn't hesitate when choosing between Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland following last night's Champions League action.

Mbappe and Kane starred as Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich booked their spots in the next round of the competition.

Mbappe bagged a brace and ripped the net in the process in his side's 2-1 victory (4-1 on aggregate) over Real Sociedad.

Kane also scored two goals as his team beat Lazio 3-0 (3-1 on aggregate).

Haaland, meanwhile, will be in action tonight as Manchester City face Copenhagen.

After Tuesday's results, Ferdinand was asked to pick between the three superstar forwards.

And the former Manchester United defender wasted no time in answering Laura Woods' question, siding with Mbappe.

On TNT Sports, he said: "Mbappe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. They're all great. There's no bad or wrong answer here really, but... Mbappe man.

"I'd pay everyday to watch him train let alone play in a match, because he creates things on his own. I can give him the ball at left-back and he might score."

Ferdinand added: "I can give him the ball anywhere on the pitch and he could create something. The other two not so much. They are great, don't get me wrong.

"But Mbappe's just got that something different that would make me sit up at night and go: 'Thank you, God'."

Mbappe and Kane are leading the way in the Champions League scoring charts, with both players on six goals in this season's campaign.

As for Haaland, he has five goals to his name ahead of taking on Copenhagen.

Mbappe has now scored an impressive 34 goals across all competitions this term.

Kane is on 33 goals for the season while Haaland has bagged 28.
