Barcelona legend Gerard Piqué has named four very strong teams in Europe that he believes can challenge the Blaugrana for the UEFA Champions League this season.
According to Piqué, the teams are Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Speaking with Moeve Futbol Zone (via SPORT), the Spaniard was asked about Barcelona’s chances of winning the Champions League.
Piqué said, “In Europe too? Yes, why not? It’s clear that there are some very strong teams in Europe right now, and it looks like sooner rather than later, they will end up winning the Champions League.
“Arsenal, for example, or PSG, who won it last year. Add to that Real Madrid and Bayern, who I think have raised their game with Kompany, so obviously it will be difficult.”
Barcelona were eliminated in the Champions League semi-final stage last season after losing to Inter Milan.
