British broadcaster and former England striker Gary Lineker has shared his opinion on the upcoming UEFA Champions League (UCL) final.
He rated the chances of the two contenders, Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, while speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, following the North London club’s recent Premier League title triumph.
According to Lineker, the Gunners are “second favourites” against PSG in the final of the elite European competition in Budapest, Hungary, on 30 May.

“I still think they’re second favourites because PSG, as we know, are an incredibly good side,” he said.
He, however, added that despite how “incredible” the French champions are, Arsenal are the team most capable of stopping the UCL defending champions.
Lineker added: “But Arsenal, if anyone can beat them, it’s probably Arsenal. And what a double that would be.”
The Englishman is not alone in labelling PSG as favourites; his compatriot and ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has also tipped the Parisians to win the final.
