"I would say Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain can win the Champions League this season, outside England (Arsenal).
"One of the other teams of course, could be Real Madrid but Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain, no one wonders in their league they will win their championship."
Wenger went ahead to predict the winners of the Ligue 1 and Bundesliga this season. He said:
"Paris Saint-Germain will win the championship in France and Bayern have nearly already nearly won the championship in Germany, so their season of course will be in Europe.
"They will have to fight against the five teams in the Premier League, that will be very interesting.
"Paris Saint-Germain at the moment are not at their best, Real Madrid at Liverpool are fighting to be their best, then Bayern are in full power."
Arsene Wenger led Arsenal to win three Premier League titles, 7 FA Cup titles, seven Community Shield titles and finished second place in the UEFA Champions League.
