But Arsenal are usually not conceding goals easily.

Otherwise, it\u2019s going to be very hard for them. But Arsenal also know  double up, with Declan Rice dropping back into defence.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"437\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2265577028.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=646\" class=\"article-image wp-image-28181602\" alt=\"Bayer Leverkusen vs FC Arsenal - UEFA Champions League\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\">\t<\/div><figcaption>Jurri\u00ebn Timber has missed the last 12 games (Picture: Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s going to be an interesting one. I feel it may very well be just like the Inter Milan final last 12 months. I imagine it may very well be [5-0]. Before the sport, I assumed PSG had the advantage but Inter with a robust defence, and with the way in which they play on the counterattacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Possibly it could possibly be [an upset] and 1-0 to Inter but it surely may be a really hard night for Inter as well and it\u2019s the identical feeling I even have now [for Arsenal]. It might be ugly, 1-0 to Arsenal, and I don\u2019t say ugly in a foul way because to stop PSG scoring is a big performance. But that\u2019s really hard.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If Arsenal manage it and win 1-0, then it\u2019s an incredible job. But I imagine it should be very hard to not concede against PSG. So, it could possibly either be 3-0 or 4-0 to PSG, or 1-0 Arsenal.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"><\/use><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Paul Scholes names Arsenal star who \u2018suits\u2019 playing right-back as injury crisis looms<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"><\/use><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Roberto De Zerbi blames Arsenal game for Spurs vs Leeds referee not being \u2018calm\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"><\/use><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Jamie Carragher praises Arsenal for making \u2018brave\u2019 transfer decision<\/span><\/p>\n<section id=\"share-buttons-bottom\" class=\"share-buttons share-buttons-bottom\"><a class=\"metro-button share-bar-comments\" data-vars-position=\"bottom\" href=\"#metro-comments-container\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span><svg><title>Comment now<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#social-comment\" href=\"#social-comment\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-comments__label\">Comments<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span><svg><title>Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#social-preferred-source\" href=\"#social-preferred-source\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-preferred-source__label\">Add as preferred source<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sneijder believes the Gunners can spring a surprise, nonetheless (Picture: Getty) Wesley Sneijder believes Arsenal could lose 4-0 within the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.
