Arteta Backs PSG to Win the Champions League This Season

Mikel Arteta — the Arsenal manager — has expressed his support for Paris Saint-Germain to win the Champions League this season, following his team’s elimination in the semifinals.

Paris Saint-Germain secured their place in the final by defeating Arsenal with a 3-1 aggregate win — claiming a 1-0 victory in London and 2-1 in Paris.

In the final, the French side will face Inter Milan, who knocked out Barcelona in the other semifinal.

Arteta said he supports PSG due to a personal connection with the club — he once played for Les Parisiens during his professional career.
