After clinching a first Premier League title in 22 years<\/strong>Mikel Arteta\u2019s side take on holders PSG in Budapest on Saturday in the as they look to secure a historic double.<\/p>\n Pirlo won two Champions League titles with AC Milan in 2003 and 2007, and believes the Gunners have one key \u201cadvantage\u201d over the Ligue 1 giants.<\/p>\n \u201cThey have two central defenders and a striker who are very good in the air. They will look to take advantage,\u201d Pirlo told Sky Sports<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cArsenal have the ability in these situations because they study it. I have been following them a lot in the Premier League and Champions League.<\/p>\n \u201cThey have had a great run in the last few years, not just this year, and they deserved to win the Premier League title.<\/p>\n \u201cPSG do not have these big jumpers so they will have to look for different solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite that advantage, Pirlo believes PSG just have the edge over Arsenal ahead of the game.<\/p>\n \u201cLuis Enrique is the best coach in the world at the moment,\u201d Pirlo added.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has created a strong team, a strong mentality with young players. It is a real pleasure to see them do well and even better to watch them because it is fast, dynamic, technical football that everyone likes.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is set up well because PSG are the holders, while for Arsenal it is the first time (in the final) in 20 years but they come in having just won a Premier League. I make it 60-40 for Paris.\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 Legendary Arsenal boss Aresene Wenger believes the final is a \u201c50-50\u201d game but is backing Arsenal to get over the line.<\/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 50-50 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 <\/div>\nMore like \u201950-50\u2032<\/h2>\n
