Former Real Madrid midfielder, Sami Khedira has snubbed Arsenal while picking Bayern Munich as the favourites to win the UEFA Champions League this season.

The ex-Germany international insisted that Bayern Munich stands as the top contender, positioning them ahead of the Gunners in the quest for European glory this season.

Both teams excelled in the league phase, finishing first and second, respectively, last month.

Bayern Munich is set to face Atalanta in the Round of 16 knockout stage, while Arsenal will take on Bayer Leverkusen.

In an interview with Kicker, Khedira stated, “For me, it will be crucial that Bayern Munich go into the knockout phase reasonably rested.

“For me, they are the absolute number one, even ahead of Arsenal [to win the Champions League trophy this season].”

Former Manchester United midfielder, Owen Hargreaves has named four advantages Manchester City have over Arsenal in the Premier League title race this season.

Hargreaves pointed out the expertise of Man City manager Pep Guardiola, as well as the presence of star players like striker Erling Haaland, midfielder Rodri, and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, as pivotal factors in City’s edge over the Gunners.

He noted that while Arsenal currently enjoys a points lead, they trail in experience, which could be a decisive factor as the season progresses.

“If there’s one thing in City’s favour [amid Premier League title race], it’s definitely Pep,” Hargreaves said on Premier League Productions.

“They have Donnarumma, who proved it at PSG last season, they also have Haaland, Rodri, who have been there and done it.”
