Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has tipped Paris Saint-Germain to edge out Arsenal in the upcoming UEFA Paris Champions League Saint-Germain to edge out Arsenal in final, following his side’s heartbreaking semi-final exit.
The England captain found himself on the wrong side of a continental thriller as Bayern Munich failed to overturn a first-leg deficit against the French champions. Despite Kane’s heroics, which included a last-gasp equalizer to secure a 1-1 draw in the second leg, the Bundesliga giants ultimately fell short. The result saw PSG progress with a 9-5 aggregate victory, ending Kane’s hopes of lifting his first European trophy this season.
Speaking to Sky Sports Germany in the wake of the defeat, Kane provided his assessment of the May 30 showpiece scheduled to take place in Budapest. While acknowledging the quality of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side, the veteran forward believes the Parisians hold the upper hand. “In my opinion, PSG are slightly favorites in the final,” Kane remarked, noting that the French side’s momentum could be the deciding factor in the high-stakes encounter.

Despite the disappointment of missing out on the Champions League final, Kane remains optimistic about finishing the domestic season on a high. Having already secured another Bundesliga title, the striker has shifted his focus toward securing a domestic double for the Bavarian side. “We can win the double,” he stated, urging his teammates to bounce back quickly from their European heartbreak to ensure further silverware stays in Munich.
The final in Budapest promises to be a historic affair, as Arsenal looks to secure their first-ever Champions League title against a PSG side also desperate to finally conquer Europe. With footballing icons like Kane weighing in, the anticipation for the clash is reaching a fever pitch, though the North London side will surely be looking to prove the striker’s “favorite” tag wrong when they take the pitch later this month.
