"Two totally different teams in the way they play but two very strong teams. It will be an interesting final, for sure.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are chasing their first-ever UEFA Champions League title when they face the Ligue 1 champions on May 30.

The Gunners previously reached the final during the 2005/06 season, where they lost 2-1 to Barcelona, with Henrik Larsson playing a decisive role against Arsene Wenger’s 10-man side.

The North London club are currently full of confidence after ending their 22-year wait for the Premier League title under Mikel Arteta.
