Following Bayern Munich’s semi-final exit from the Champions League on Wednesday night, Harry Kane has backed Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as the team to beat in the final against Arsenal.
New Telegraph had earlier reported that the PSG advanced to the final after a dramatic 6–5 aggregate win over Bayern, sealing their place despite a 1–1 draw in Munich on Wednesday night.
An early strike from Ousmane Dembélé in the second leg gave the French champions a crucial advantage in the tie.
Although Kane found the net in stoppage time, his goal served only as a consolation for the German side.
