Harry Kane has named Paris Saint-Germain as his Champions League favourites after Bayern Munich’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Wednesday night.
Eberechi Eze gave Arsenal the lead at the Allianz Arena before Alphonso Davies pulled Bayern level by the break. Kane then put the German champions ahead from the penalty spot but Declan Rice rounded off an excellent move in the 82nd minute to secure a point for Mikel Arteta’s side.
On Tuesday night, PSG continued their Champions League dominance with a 4-2 win at home to Barcelona, who had won all 11 of their games this season prior to their trip to the Parc des Princes.
Last season, Bayern were beaten 6-5 on aggregate by PSG in the Champions League semi-final and Kane feels Luis Enrique’s side are still the standout team in Europe.
When asked to name who he believes is the best team in the Champions League, Kane told Canal+: ‘I think Paris, us, Arsenal, Barcelona, Madrid always, there are a lot of strong teams.
‘Paris, of course, winning back-to-back Champions Leagues, they’re going to be favourites for it.

‘But we had a great game last year, a really close game against them, another close game against Arsenal here. We’ll have to see, this is just the early start of the season, a long way to go and we’ll see what happens come April and May.’
Kane was also complimentary about Arsenal’s approach to their game against Bayern and admits his teammates were left ‘confused’ by the movement from Mikel Arteta’s players.
‘I think Arsenal are quite tricky, to be honest, in how they moved,’ Kane said.

‘Normally we have quite a clear reference on who we’re pressing. Because of their movement, especially in the second half, I felt like we got a little bit confused on who to take.
