Let\u2019s go an enjoy a Champions League final now \u2013 so many people PSG are going to win whoever they play against, we\u2019ve won the Premier League this season and got that trophy monkey off our backs.\u00a0<\/p>\n People can\u2019t give them stick about not getting over the line anymore.<\/p>\n What an opportunity it is to play against this great side where no one really fancies you that much. It\u2019s a one-off game and anything can happen. Enjoy it.<\/p>\n They might\u2019ve got on the easier side of the draw, but they\u2019re unbeaten so far in Europe this season and won all eight games in the league phase, so they fully deserve to be there too.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t expect them to try to take them on like Bayern did in the semi-final though \u2013 there won\u2019t be any kind of Munich style to Arsenal\u2019s approach.\u00a0They tried to beat Paris at their own game and pushed them close while giving us some of the best football we\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n Arsenal aren\u2019t going to try that in the final. We know their strength is defensive. They have two of the best centre-halves in the world, they\u2019re strong at full-back, and they can get about people in midfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n If anyone in world football can beat this Paris team, it\u2019s Arsenal. With all their fire power we know PSG will create chances, but Mikel Arteta\u2019s side has shown they can frustrate opponents, they can waste time, they can get under their skin, and a few set-pieces can make it very edgy.<\/p>\n Keep a clean-sheet, nick a goal and they could be European champions. That\u2019s got to be the gameplan.<\/p>\n My feeling on the game is that it\u2019ll either be that kind of nervy, tight affair and Arsenal edge it, or PSG get ahead and then win it comfortably.\u00a0<\/p>\n That\u2019d make it two European titles in a row for Paris. Luis Enrique has made such a difference there. He won\u2019t have anyone in the team if they won\u2019t put a shift in.\u00a0<\/p>\n Defensively, they all want to work hard for each other and are really aggressive. You\u2019d wonder how they can have lost Mbappe, Messi and Neymar and then won the Champions League, but it shows that if you\u2019re not working in a team system you won\u2019t win things.<\/p>\n And obviously they can attack you from all angles. They have the Ballon d\u2019Or in Ousmane Dembele, Desire Dou\u00e9 as well, but\u00a0Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is the key for me. He\u2019s the one that can turn them from the edge of their box to the other box in seconds. I love watching him.<\/p>\n Vitinha as well in midfield makes them tick. It\u2019s a huge battle in there, Declan Rice will have to get a hold of him as he\u2019s such a talented player. And the full-backs are big threats too.<\/p>\n PSG to Lift the Cup<\/p>\n It all means have to side with PSG. They are class team and have monsters in every position on the pitch. I think they get ahead at some stage and they won\u2019t look back if they do.<\/p>\n Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to have 1+ shots on target including woodwork<\/p>\n I\u2019d expect him to score if PSG win. He\u2019s blown up the Champions League this season and a shot on target should be nailed on in the final.<\/p>\n Bukayo Saka to have 1+ shots on target including woodwork<\/p>\n He\u2019s made a huge difference since returning from injury. You\u2019d hope that continues into the World Cup for England too. We\u2019ve seen him create and score in the final weeks of the Premier League, and a shot on target seems a decent shout.<\/p>\n Marquinhos to commit 1+ fouls<\/p>\n He\u2019s the PSG captain, he\u2019s not afraid to throw himself into anything and had five fouls across the two semi-final games.<\/p>\n Crouchy\u2019s Shouts the Champions League Final<\/p>\n PSG to lift the cup A Bet Builder on these selections pays at approximately 7\/2 with Paddy Power.
