Paul Merson has made his prediction for the Champions League final, while Arsenal have been told to target a \u201cfeeble\u201d PSG \u201cweak link\u201d.<\/p>\n
This season, Arsenal<\/strong> have already made history by winning their first Premier League title in 22 years after finishing second for three consecutive seasons.<\/p>\n Now, the Gunners can achieve a really special end to this campaign, with Mikel Arteta<\/strong>s side facing holders PSG in the Champions League final on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n The north London side are yet to win the Champions League in their history and they head into this weekend\u2019s game as the underdogs, but Merson has explained why he thinks his former side will beat PSG 1-0.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter winning the Premier League, Arsenal now have an amazing opportunity against Paris Saint-Germain in Saturday\u2019s final,\u201d Merson said in an interview for Historic Newspapers.<\/p>\n READ: Arsenal p*ss it, managergeddon, Spurs nonsense, Palace 12th \u2013 10 kneejerk predictions for next season<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe first goal is going to be key. It\u2019s a Champions League final, so it will be a cagey game \u2013 I can\u2019t see PSG playing the flamboyant football they showed in the first leg of their semi-final against Bayern Munich<\/p>\n \u201c. PSG will be worried about going 1-0 down to Arsenal, because they\u2019ll know they\u2019ll be up against it \u2013 they\u2019ll be scared of losing the first goal.<\/p>\n \u201cA cagey game would suit Arsenal well. If PSG arrive with their gung-ho approach, then Arsenal could be in a bit of trouble, but if they play with a fear of going 1-0 down, then Arsenal are right in the game. I\u2019m going to predict a 1-0 win for Arsenal.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: Arteta sack despite one title tip, Man Utd ignored and Delap for Golden Boot \u2013 pre-season predictions revisited<\/strong><\/p>\n It is tough to pick faults with PSG\u2019s side, but former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack is not \u201cconvinced\u201d by their shot-stopper, Matvey Safonov.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom what I\u2019ve seen, I\u2019m not being convinced,\u201d Stack told Metro.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were moments over the two-legs against Bayern where he showed signs of vulnerability, certainly when balls were coming in the box.<\/p>\n \u201cI think he has got a mistake in him. From what I\u2019ve seen, I think he\u2019s one of the weakest links in that group. If I was Arsenal, I would be putting him under severe pressure, certainly from set plays, which Arsenal are very, very good at.<\/p>\n \u201cSo balls in the box, when he\u2019s put under pressure, from what I\u2019ve seen, he looks very, very vulnerable.<\/p>\n \u201cPhysically, he doesn\u2019t have a great presence either. When I look at him, he looks quite slim, and a bit lanky, and a bit feeble. And it doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019s got a great presence in the goal.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I would definitely try and isolate him and put him under pressure from set plays, and get the ball in the box as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Three reasons why everyone hates \u2018threatening\u2019 Arsenal<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\u201cI think he\u2019s one of the weakest links in that group\u2026\u201d<\/h2>\n
