Cafu has surprisingly picked Leandro Trossard ahead of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia when picking an Arsenal and PSG combined XI.
Trossard has been one of the most clutch players for Arsenal this season, scoring some vital goals in their run to the Premier League title and the Champions League final.
😬 Which PSG player worries you the most for the Champions League final?
The 30-year-old has been one of the biggest surprise packages of the season for the Gunners and looks set to start on the left this Saturday.
However, the Brazilian legend picking him ahead of the PSG winger is quite a surprise and even the most ardent of Arsenal fans would struggle to agree.
Cafu picks Leandro Trossard over Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Cafu believes that Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard is better than Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Paris Saint-Germain, he told Daily Mail Sport.
Picking his combined XI ahead of the Champions League final, the 2002 World Cup winner has gone with Trossard as his left winger.
The Belgian international has had a great season with eight goals and ten assists; however, Kvaratskhelia has 19 goals and ten assists in total.
The Georgian superstar is certainly going to be one of the players Arsenal will need to keep close quarters with this weekend.
With Jurrien Timber touch and go for the final, it is likely that Cristhian Mosquera will be the man tasked with stopping him.

Trossard could also be key for Arsenal as he is up against Achraf Hakimi, and there will be question marks over whether he is fully fit.
Trossard versus Kvaratskhelia, in terms of who will have the bigger impact on Saturday, could be close, but on paper, the PSG man is obviously better.
