Sami Khedira, a former Real Madrid player, has picked Bayern Munich to win the UEFA Champions League this season, while ignoring Arsenal.
Bayern Munich, according to the former Germany international, are the best team in the league and should be considered Arsenal’s main rivals for European championship success this year.
Last month, the two squads finished first and second in their respective leagues, demonstrating their exceptional play. The Round of 16 draw pits Bayern Munich against Atalanta and Arsenal against Bayer Leverkusen.
It will be critical that Bayern Munich enter the knockout stage properly rested, in my opinion,” Khedira said in an interview with Kicker.
“As far as winning the Champions League trophy this season goes, they are my absolute favourite, even more so than Arsenal.”
