Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has shared his early predictions for the 2025 /26 UEFA Champions League naming four clubs he believes stand out as genuine contenders for the title.

Wenger’s analysis: Bayern, PSG and the English powerhouses

Wenger pointed out that Bayern Munich, rejuvenated under Vincent Kompany have started the European campaign strongly winning all four of their opening matches including 2-1 victory over defending champions Paris Saint Germain in Paris.

He also highlighted PSG’s dominance in Ligue 1 and their hunger to defend the crown they won last May with a 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in the final.
