Renowned Arsenal wind-up merchant Gabriel Agbonlahor has picked just one Arsenal star in a combined XI with fellow Champions League finalists Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n
Bukayo Saka\u2019s goal was enough to see off Atletico Madrid on Tuesday and book the Gunners\u2019 a place in their first Champions League final for 30 years,<\/strong> while holders PSG drew 1-1 in Munich<\/strong> to beat Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate following the first-leg madness at the Parcs des Princes.<\/p>\n PSG will go into the final in Budapest as clear favourites and Agbonlahor reckons just one Arsenal player would get into a team of the best players from both clubs.<\/p>\n \u201cHow many Arsenal players do you think would get into that PSG starting XI?\u201d Shebahn Aherne asked Agbonlahor on talkSPORT<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cOoof. Starting XI \u2013 one,\u201d Agbonlahor said.<\/p>\n \u201cDavid Raya. I think PSG\u2019s goalkeeper (Matvey Safonov), he\u2019s OK, but I look at David Raya, he\u2019s been fantastic this season.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got the Golden Glove in the Premier League. Some fantastic saves. Great when playing from the back.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I\u2019d say yes, he\u2019s in in goal.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked if he might be able to find a place in the XI for Arsenal standout Declan Rice, Agbonlahor replied: \u201cNo, I do not. I\u2019m a big fan of Declan Rice but I look at Vitinha (Joao) Neves and (Fabian) Ruiz.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Fabian Ruiz last night was fantastic, the best player on the pitch. He\u2019s been a big miss, and even if he\u2019s not available, I really like (Warren) Zaire-Emery.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was very good last night at right-back. He\u2019s been great filling in for Ruiz as well, so it would be a headache for the manager in the final, which one of those two he picks.<\/p>\n \u201cSo in midfield, I like Vitinha, Neves and Ruiz.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCould you not make a case for Bukayo Saka?\u201d Aherne continued, to which Agbonlahor said: \u201cNo. (Desire) Doue I think is a better player than Saka. And I do like Saka.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s not had his greatest season. It\u2019s been great for Arsenal to have him back because (Noni) Madueke has been disappointing this season, but I do think Doue is the better player than Saka.<\/p>\n \u201cI really like him. Last night, some of the stuff he was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo at right-back I\u2019ve got (Achraf) Hakimi, Marquinhos and (Willian) Pacho I thought were excellent last night. You saw a different side to their defending, they had Harry Kane in their pocket until that last minute goal,\u201d Agbonlahor said.<\/p>\n \u201c(Nuno) Mendes at left-back. I think he\u2019s the best left-back in the world. Apart from that yellow card early on, he had (Michael) Olise in his pocket.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously Vitinha, Ruiz, Neves. We\u2019ve got the best player in the world on the left, (Khvicha) Kvaratskhelia. I think he\u2019s a fantastic player.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe a chance of him winning a Ballon d\u2019Or if he goes on to win this Champions League.<\/p>\n \u201c(Ousmane) Dembele down the middle and then Doue off the right.\u201d<\/p>\n Agbonlahor did admit that maybe Rice would make an overall squad, dding: \u201cI think I would put him in there before Zaire-Emery but I do like Ruiz, Vitinha and Neves in that midfield.<\/p>\n \u201cThis PSG team have been there and done it. Champions League winners last season and firm favourites to win it again.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\nAgbonlahor\u2019s Arsenal \u2013 PSG combined XI in full<\/h2>\n
