Premier League legend Nicky Butt has stated that defeating PSG in the Champions League final will be nearly impossible. He believes Mikel Arteta should bench Viktor Gyokeres in the final and rely on pacey forwards, otherwise the team will fail to exploit the French club's defensive weaknesses. This is reported by Goal.com .
Arsenal reached the decisive match in Budapest after defeating Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals. Nevertheless, Butt is concerned that the Londoners' attack will not be able to cope with PSG's high-tempo game. According to him, PSG is currently the strongest team in Europe and is very difficult to stop.
Butt said: "I don't see a team that can beat PSG. Arsenal lacks the speed to transition on the counter-attack. If Arteta starts Viktor Gyokeres, the team will struggle in fast breaks. He should put his faith in pacey players like Leandro Trossard."
Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, praised Viktor Gyokeres' work rate against Atletico Madrid. The manager emphasized that the Swedish striker's tactical discipline and contribution to the team's defense played a crucial role in securing their spot in the final.
