Arsenal have the defense to frustrate PSG but do they have enough options going forward to overload PSG as a single threat is not enough? I am not so sure. You cannot rely on corners or dangerous free kicks against PSG as they work very hard to avoid them and will doubly do so against Arsenal. I feel Arsenal are also at most risk of injuries out of this grouping as they already have more than a few people missing. They are lucky that suspensions are reset after the quarters.

Inter have the defense to frustrate PSG and Barca and I think they have enough going forward to sneak a goal against either, I think this is the hardest final for Arsenal as Inter are used to being patient in defense.

PSG have one style of play and no real options to change it up that Enrique seems happy with. If you can cut over their midfield as Villa did then they are headless chickens to any top level attack, nearly throwing away a 5-1 lead against a team only 7th in the Prem, and I say that as a Villa fan.

Barca are absolutely lethal going forward, they typically score from half as many shots as it takes PSG to score and I feel are better defensively than PSG but not up to the same standard as Arsenal or Inter.
