Arsenal legend, David O’Leary, has predicted that Saturday’s Champions League final will be a clash of two tactical styles.
The Gunners will be trying to claim the Double when they play current holders Paris Saint-Germain.
O’Leary has now dubbed it a match between the best attack and the best defence.
He told Sky Sports: “I think it will be a very close game. I don’t think there’s much in it. It’s who performs on the night and who takes their chances.
“It’s going to be a chess match of the best defence in the world, with probably on-form the best goalkeeper in the world, and one of the best midfielders protecting that back four in Declan Rice, against a team with the best attack in the world who can really hurt you, particularly on the break.
“You’ve got to respect PSG because their strength is going forward. We saw that in the Bayern Munich match. Two teams where the philosophy is to take each other on.”
