UCL: Arsene Wenger names two teams to win trophy over Arsenal

Former Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, has named Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain as the Gunners biggest challenge in the Champions League this season.

He believes the two teams will be frontrunners in the Champions League this season.

The former manager sees both sides as the biggest non-Premier League threat to his former club’s hopes of winning the trophy.

Wenger said this after watching Arsenal beat Slavia Prague 3-0 on Tuesday night thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka and Mikel Merino (2).

Bundesliga kings, Bayern Munich, who are also on a fine run with four victories so far, defeated PSG 2-1 at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night.

Wenger told beIN Sports, “I would say they’re the two teams who can win the Champions League this season, outside England.

“One of the other teams of course could be Real Madrid but Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain, no one wonders in their league will they win their championship.

“Paris Saint-Germain will win the championship in France and Bayern have already nearly won the championship in Germany, so their season of course will be in Europe.

“They will have to fight against the five teams in the Premier League, which will be very interesting.

“Paris Saint-Germain at the moment are not at their best, Real Madrid at Liverpool are fighting to be their best, then Bayern are in full power.”
