Arsenal will meet holders PSG in the Champions League final in Budapest on May 30 when the Premier League title favourites could be looking to complete a sensational double
Gary Neville claims he can’t shake the feeling that PSG will beat Arsenal and retain their Champions League crown in Budapest. However, the Sky Sports pundit is still not ruling out Mikel Arteta’s men from completing a sensational double.
They are now just three wins from doing that after battling past West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday.
Neville thinks they will take some stopping, stating on his podcast: “Arsenal have got such momentum now. They beat Atletico Madrid, watched Man City drop points at Everton and then winning at West Ham in that way.
“Winning it that way is far more special that winning the game 3-0, you’d love to win games easily but those type of results build confidence, resilience and momentum.

“The Arsenal players should be in dreamland now, they should be unstoppable, nothing should be able to stop them now.
“In the Champions League final they need to think about their defensive ability and strength and think how they can over 90 minutes beat a team who are better than them.
“Because PSG are better than them, you can’t get away from that. PSG are a better team than Arsenal right now and they’ve demonstrated that over the last two seasons.
“For Mikel Arteta it’s a chance to go to another level because winning the Champions League would be incredible.
“Winning the Premier League for the first time in 22 years is huge but getting the Champions League as well would be incredible.
“It feels like the right moment for Arsenal to win the Premier League, it doesn’t quite feel like the right moment for them to win the Champions League.
“It feels like the moment PSG for win it back-to-back and for Luis Enrique to put himself up there with the God-like managers who have done this.
“It feels more like that than Arsenal winning the double but it doesn’t really matter, it would still be a sensational season for Arsenal and if they do win the double, that puts them into a different stratosphere.”
Arsenal were beaten by PSG in last season’s Champions League semi-finals but they did beat them at the Emirates during the group stages.
If the Gunners beat Burnley and Crystal Palace, they will pip Manchester City to their first Premier League title since 2004.
There is still a chance, however, they could win the title before the final day as City play Crystal Palace and Bournemouth before Arsenal’s trip to Selhurst Park on matchday 38.
