Hargreaves backs Arsenal to beat PSG in UCL final but warns of French attack threat
Former Manchester United and Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves has predicted Arsenal will defeat Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, telling TNT Sports on Wednesday that the Gunners "have a chance [to win] without a doubt" due to their defence, goalkeeper, and Declan Rice's midfield role.
However, Hargreaves cautioned that PSG possess "so many ways to hurt you" with their attacking threats, making the clash fascinating despite his confidence in Arsenal's current form under Arteta. The former England international noted this is "a different Arsenal now" compared to previous iterations.
While Hargreaves believes Arsenal can win in a one-off game, he emphasizes PSG's dangerous forward line as a key concern. For Nigerian fans anticipating the UCL final, this sets up a tactical battle where Arsenal's organization faces PSG's individual brilliance - will the Gunners' defensive structure withstand the French attack, or will PSG's stars find a way through?
