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].”
