Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal will deliver against PSG

Mikel Arteta is aware PSG are a difficult opponent as Arsenal prepare for a Champions League final against the French champions, although he remains confident his side will be ready to compete and aim for victory.

PSG eliminated Arsenal at the semi-final stage last season, and the Gunners are hoping to secure revenge should the two sides meet again in the final. The Parisians have also shown an ability to improve in the second half of the campaign, despite inconsistent league phase form similar to previous seasons, when they went on to win the competition.

PSG threat and knockout stage strength

PSG have built a reputation for growing stronger in the knockout rounds, and although their league phase performances have sometimes been uneven, they have consistently found ways to eliminate top opposition on their route to another final. Their attacking quality is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous in European football.

Arsenal will need to be at their very best to compete with PSG’s forward line, which has been in excellent form, and the final is expected to be a major test of tactical discipline and defensive organisation for Arteta’s team.
