Former Super Eagles defender backs Arsenal before Champions League final against PSG

Former Super Eagles and Leventis United defender Tajudeen Disu has expressed his confidence in Arsenal, the English Premier League champions, to win the UEFA Champions League, according to AfriK Foot.

The Gunners will play their first final since May 2006, when they were defeated by Barcelona at the Stade de France in Saint‑Denis, Paris.

This time, they will face the reigning European champions, Paris Saint‑Germain, at the Puskás Arena in Budapest, Hungary.

“They have been in the final before and lost. It’s been a long time coming. I wish them the very best of luck. It’s not going to be an easy match because PSG are a great side and defending champions, but if Arsenal can get their tactics right, they can win,” Disu concluded.
