UCL: Troy Deeney names top three favourite clubs to win trophy

Former Watford striker, Troy Deeney, has named the top three favourite clubs to win the UEFA Champions League trophy this season.

Deeney spoke after Bayern Munich defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 in Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League tie in Paris.

According to him, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal are the top three favourites that can win the Champions League this term.

Recall that PSG are the defending Champions of the competition after winning it last season.

“I think for all of us we said they would be in our top three – PSG, Bayern Munich and Arsenal [for the trophy],” Deeney told CBS Sports.

“I think we all said those three, and then just how you would order them.

“I would make the argument that Bayern after today [beating PSG] should be top, but I also think we could make a very good argument that Arsenal should be top; they are top of both leagues. I would argue it is more competitive in the Premier League than it is in the Bundesliga, but Bayern Munich are right up there.”
