Former Watford striker Troy Deeney has identified the top three clubs favored to win the UEFA Champions League trophy this season.
Deeney made his remarks following Bayern Munich's 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League match held in Paris.
He believes that Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal are the leading contenders for this year's Champions League title.
It is worth noting that PSG are the reigning champions of the tournament after their victory last season.
“I think we all agreed that these three would be in our top picks – PSG, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal [for the trophy],” Deeney stated during an interview with CBS Sports.
“We all mentioned those three, and then it’s just a matter of how to rank them.
“I would argue that Bayern, following their win today [against PSG], should be at the top, but I also believe we could strongly argue that Arsenal deserves the top spot; they are leading both leagues. I contend that the Premier League is more competitive than the Bundesliga, but Bayern Munich is certainly in the conversation.”
