Evra warns Arsenal
Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra believes Arsenal do not have the capacity to win the UEFA Champions League this season.
According to GOAL, the former Juventus defender explained that the Gunners' biggest achievement this season is winning the Premier League after 22 years.
Evra stated that Paris Saint-Germain would destroy Arsenal when both teams meet in Budapest on Saturday. He said:
"I don't think they will cry or be disappointed if Arsenal doesn't win this Champions League because they have already done the job, and that was the Premier League. They waited for 22 years. This is the biggest achievement.
"But no, if PSG have all these players - if Ousmane Dembele and all of that are ready, they will destroy Arsenal."
PSG dominating football - Evra
Former West Ham United defender Patrice Evra said Paris Saint-Germain are dominating the football world under Luis Enrique.
The former Monaco defender predicted that the Ligue 1 champions would score five goals against Arsenal in the UCL final. He said via Chosun:

"I think PSG are dominating the football world and I hope Arsenal will play openly because if they park the bus like they used to do, PSG will put five goals past them like they did to Inter in the final.
"I was in shock because they are the masters of Catenaccio. In Italy, as soon as you are born, they teach you about the Catenaccio.
"My favorite for this game, and with all due respect and love for Arsenal, you know, it will be PSG. Maybe, maybe I talked too early, but it's not because of Arsenal this time it's about PSG.
