Mikel Arteta’s team will have a shot at making history on May 30 when they face Paris Saint-Germain in the European Cup final.
😬 Which PSG player worries you the most for the Champions League final?
The Gunners eliminated Atletico Madrid with relative ease; meanwhile, the defending European champions saw off Bayern Munich to book their ticket to Budapest.
Ahead of the North London club’s first Champions League final in 20 years, Henry has been discussing the team’s chances against PSG.
Thierry Henry backs Arsenal to beat PSG in the Champions League final
Thierry Henry thinks Arsenal have enough to beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, but he fully acknowledges the quality of Luis Enrique’s team.
The Arsenal legend says that PSG can beat teams in different ways, whether through their attacking players or their defence.
The French giants scored five against Bayern in the first leg, but then showed their other side by almost keeping a clean sheet at the Allianz Arena.
When asked about the final, Henry told CBS Sports: “When you see the way Paris played tonight, they can kill you in both style, they can kill you on the ball, scoring more goals than you, and they can also neutralise you.
🤔 Who starts the Champions League final in midfield: Myles Lewis-Skelly or Martin Zubimendi?
“Obviously, it was a 1-1 because Harry Kane scored. They can also beat you like that. Although they didn’t win on the night, you know what I’m saying.
“So they have everything that they need to have. But we’ve been pretty resilient, difficult to score against.
“We don’t overcreate, but when we do create, we end up putting the ball in the back of the net. So different style, if you can say, let’s see who’s going to win that one.”
Arsenal will be desperate to get revenge on PSG, who knocked them out of the competition at the semi-final stage last season.
Bukayo Saka suggested PSG were the team Arsenal wanted, and now they have the chance to stop them from winning the competition back-to-back.
