But Arsenal are not conceding goals easily. They have a very strong defence with the two central defenders with top quality,\u201d Sneijder told Hard Rock Bet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ: Top 10 moments when joyless, buzzkill VAR got it wrong even when it got it right<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe the full-backs are the best players in the Champions League, and that\u2019s where PSG have power, especially on the left side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody with an Arsenal heart hopes Justin Timber will be back and recover for the final. Otherwise, it\u2019s going to be very hard for them. But Arsenal also know how to double up, with Declan Rice dropping back into defence.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201c4-0 to PSG, or 1-0 to Arsenal\u2026\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be an interesting one. I think it could be similar to the Inter Milan final last year. I believe it could be (5-0). Before the game, I thought PSG had the advantage but Inter with a strong defence, and with the way they play on the counterattacks.<\/p>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0b629b85ba2abe5ff39df9829ee5fb57\" image-id=\"mcfchnd7A7KP\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe it can be (an upset) and 1-0 to Inter but it could also be a very hard night for Inter as well and it\u2019s the same feeling I have now (for Arsenal). It can be ugly, 1-0 to Arsenal, and I don\u2019t say ugly in a bad way because to stop PSG scoring is a huge performance. But that\u2019s really hard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Arsenal manage it and win 1-0, then it\u2019s a great job. But I believe it will be very hard not to concede against PSG. So, it can either be 3-0 or 4-0 to PSG, or 1-0 Arsenal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: Premier League winners and losers: Raya, Amad, Brighton, Slot, Sunderland, Andersen\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After Arsenal\u2019s semi-final second leg against Atletico, <strong>Sneijder called on UEFA \u201cto intervene\u201d because the game was too boring.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking at half-time of the second leg, Sneijder said: \u201cI said after 35 minutes that UEFA needs to intervene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey need to call London, \u2018just get off the pitch, both of you, and the final will be played tomorrow\u2019.
