UCL: ‘They’re tough nut to crack’ – Gary Lineker names title winners

Former England and Barcelona striker, Gary Lineker, has named the team to win the UEFA Champions League between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain

Arsenal and PSG recently booked their places in the Champions League final after eliminating Atletico Madrid and Bayern from the competition in the semi-final stage.

Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Lineker backed the Gunners to defeat the French Ligue 1 champions in the final, adding that Mikel Arteta’s side are tough nut to crack.

“I think the Champions League final will be a fascinating game. PSG have to be the favourites. They have won it already, but Arsenal are a tough nut to crack,” Lineker said.

“Finals are often dogged affairs, and I’ve just got this sneaky feeling that Arsenal are going to do this double.”
