Harry Kane delivers honest Arsenal vs PSG Champions League final verdict after Bayern defeat

Harry Kane scored for Bayern Munich last night but it wasn't enough as they were dumped out of the Champions League semi-finals by PSG

Harry Kane makes PSG "slight favourites" in the Champions League final against Arsenal, having faced both sides this season.

The England captain, who scored in both semi-final ties against the French giants, endured heartbreak as Luis Enrique's men reached Budapest. Speaking after last night's 1-1 draw in Munich, Kane was asked for his assessment of this month's showpiece final in Budapest.

He said: "I think it's really even, two totally different teams in the way they play but two very strong teams. It will be an interesting final for sure, I think PSG being the reigning champions hold the right to be maybe slight favourites but overall I think it'll be two top teams going at it, it'll be an even match."

Arsenal and PSG met in last season's Champions League semi-finals but the eventual winners got the job done, winning at the Emirates and the Parc des Princes.

However, the Gunners will take some confidence from the fact that beat PSG 2-0 in the group stages last season (October 2024).

While Enrique's all-conquering side have improved since then, it's evidence Arsenal can beat PSG in a one-off game.

The Spaniard said of his compatriot after his side booked their ticket to Hungary: "I appreciate Mikel Arteta! We used to be teammates when we were kids, he did a great job at Arsenal. It will be a difficult, hard game but we believe in our football style."

Arsenal have three matches left to play in the Premier League before they face PSG for a shot at European glory.

The title is firmly up for grabs following Manchester City's rollercoaster six-goal thriller at Everton on Monday evening.

If the Gunners beat West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace, they will be Premier League champions.

PSG's season finishes a week earlier than Arsenal's even though they have the same number of matches left to play.

It means they will be well rested before the Champions League final.

Enrique's men boast a six point lead at the top of Ligue 1 and still have to play second-place Lens away from home.

If both teams win this weekend, PSG can officially win the title at Lens on Wednesday before their final-day clash with local neighbours Paris FC.
