Champions League Final Prediction, Let me know your thoughts!
This is it the final game of the season where the best attack in the world Vs the best defence in the world, who will prevail will PSG go back to back for the first time since Real Madrids three peat or will Arsenal make it a historic season and do the double to win their first UCL, only 2 teams in England have won both the premier league and champions league in the same season, City with Pep and United with Ferguson.
It is a one off game in a final anything can happen, we all know PSG are favourites but they aren't huge favourites, how I would split it is PSG 55% and Arsenal 45%.
PSG do have some injury scares with Hakimi, Dembele and Mendes but i have a feeling they'll all be fit for the final, will they be match sharp, I'm sure PSG will have a closed door friendly for that.
Arsenal have Ben White out for the season, Jurien Timber is a doubt but hoping to be back for the final and Mikel Merino whom returned to training today.
The biggest concern for Arsenal will be RB with white and timber both injured, mosquera is looking likely to play there, kvaratskhelia is going to have a field day unless Arteta figures out a plan to stop him he is PSG's most dangerous player especially in transition. Arteta will need to figure out a way to stop PSG from playing their game first, to stop the constant rotation of players position having an impact on Arsenal's defence and with Arsenal's physicality they can do that, it's just a matter of can they last the distance.
For PSG their concern is Arsenal being physical with them and set peices, Bayern created many chances from set peices, if Arsenal can take advantage of that PSG will be in trouble, I remember from the second leg last year at the Parc, the first 20 minutes Arsenal were all over PSG and if donoruma didn't make those saves Arsenal could've easily been ahead, I'm very curious if Arsenal plan to start like that in the final.
A lot of people think PSG will easily win, I don't see that it's going to be a tight final, Arsenal play the fine margins and the same will be here, if they were to lose it will be by the 1 goal.
With Arsenal getting over the line in the premier league the confidence will be sky high, the pressure will be off, PSG will need the UCL and will be under a bit more pressure, ask their fans they aren't too happy with their Ligue 1 season.
My prediction, PSG 1-1 Arsenal, Arsenal will win on penalties and lift their first UCL title.
