""PSG, the current champions," said Pedri. "Arsenal is also a very strong team. And I'd always include City and Real Madrid among the contenders." PSG and Arsenal are fair answers, they are both powerhouses in their own right. Manchester City, however, have not been very sharp this season, and Real Madrid are in a full blown crisis under Xabi Alonso. If they get to be included, then why not Bayern Munich?"
"It's possible that Pedri just forgot. Or maybe he doesn't rate Bayern Munich. After all, his Barcelona team demolished the Bavarians the last time they met. That recent triumph ended a long string of humiliating defeats - so maybe this is just a case of a short memory. In any case, Bayern Munich fans will not be concerned by anything Pedri says. The real talking is done on the pitch,"
Pedri named PSG, Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid as the strongest teams in the Champions League right now, noticeably omitting Bayern Munich. Bayern are enjoying an excellent season, creating a contrast with the omission. Barcelona recently defeated Bayern convincingly, ending a run of heavy losses against the Bavarians, which could explain Pedri’s assessment or a simple oversight. Manchester City have been less consistent this season, and Real Madrid face difficulties under Xabi Alonso. Bayern fans are unlikely to be fazed by the omission. A potential Round of 16 meeting could settle any on-field questions.
