Arsene Wenger has made his prediction for the Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, and sent a 22-word message of support to manager Mikel Arteta.<\/p>\n
Arsenal have secured their first Premier League title since 2004<\/strong> after pipping Manchester City to the post and have the chance of completing a historic double when they meet Ligue 1 giants PSG in Budapest on Saturday.<\/p>\n Wenger was the last Gunners manager to win the Premier League and also came close to claiming the Champions League gong 20 years ago, when they just missed out to Barcelona.<\/p>\n The legendary Arsenal boss believes the final is a \u201cfifty-fifty\u201d game but is backing Arsenal to just edge PSG, who are looking to retain their trophy.<\/p>\n \u201cI want this trophy to go to the Emirates because it\u2019s missing there,\u201d legendary former Arsenal manager Wenger told UEFA. \u201cWe touched it before \u2013 we were thirteen minutes away from winning it \u2013 so you want it to happen this time.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always said that you work in a club to make sure it\u2019s in a good position to continue to progress.<\/p>\n \u201cOverall, I believe this is a stage where we can grab it. I still believe it\u2019s fifty-fifty in the final, and if I had to bet, I would bet on Arsenal more than on Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel the club deserves it, this season deserves it and the consistency of the team deserves it.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Arsenal have slowly built a history that now allows them to win it. I also feel the time has come for Arsenal to dominate the Premier League consistently.<\/p>\n \u201cA final is a final. The most important thing is that your team is not inhibited or impressed by the occasion and continues to focus on what it does well.<\/p>\n \u201cThis Arsenal team\u2019s main strength is their ability to keep a clean sheet, and in a final that is very important.<\/p>\n \u201cThen you have to be efficient. Your moment will come in the game and you have to be ruthless. I\u2019ve played many finals and it\u2019s similar to any cup final. You have to express your qualities and not be fazed by the occasion.<\/p>\n \u201cPSG have huge attacking potential, but Arsenal also have individual quality and are very strong on set pieces, which can have a huge influence in a final.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce you are 1\u20130 up, everything starts to play to your strengths when you are strong defensively. Arsenal can always be dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: Arteta \u2018brutally SNUBBED\u2019 \u2013 according to man who called Arsenal \u2018mentality muppets\u2019 who have \u2018gone backwards\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Asked if he had a message for Arteta as he prepares his team for the final, Wenger said: \u201cDo what you usually do and try to be relaxed, even though I know that\u2019s impossible. Instil strong belief in your team.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cHe knows how to do that. He knows the players better than I do. Keep the togetherness the team has shown all season and that will be enough.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\nA message for Arteta<\/h2>\n
