Harry Kane has named Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich as his three frontrunners to win the Champions League this season.<\/p>\n
Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Kane begins his Champions League campaign with Bayern Munich on Wednesday evening as Thomas Tuchel\u2019s side host Manchester United at the Allianz Arena.<\/p>\n
City, meanwhile, are out to defend the trophy after Pep Guardiola\u2019s side completed the treble last season.<\/p>\n
Asked if he sees a standout favourite to win the Champions League this season, Kane told Marca: \u2018I\u2019m not so sure, although, of course, you always have to mention Manchester City as the current champion.<\/p>\n
\u2018Then there is Real Madrid with their fantastic history and I think Bayern are also among the favorites.<\/p>\n
\u2018Of course, the Champions League is a very difficult competition with extraordinary duels against magnificent teams and you never know what can happen. Our goal is to control what we can control and give our best version.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Asked if he feels that City are a level above any other side in the competition, Kane said: \u2018I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n
\u2018We know that City has magnificent players and their level has been very high in recent years with an extraordinary coach like Guardiola.<\/p>\n
\u2018From Bayern\u2019s point of view we focus on what we can control and not on our rivals. If we meet Manchester City, we will be prepared for it.<\/p>\n
\u2018But all the big clubs have their aspiration to win it and Bayern will be focused on it. They signed me for that.<\/p>\n
\u2018The idea of \u200b\u200bthis club is to win all the competitions although it is true that it is a very complicated tournament with great teams.<\/p>\n
\u2018We have to go step by step and the first thing is to pass this very difficult match today against United.<\/p>\n
\u2018I am very excited to play my first game with Bayern in Europe. The idea is to win it but you have to go step by step and the best step is to start with a victory today.\u2019<\/p>\n
