Who Saka wants to face in UCL final
Regardless of the opponent, Arsenal will face a huge challenge as they aim to become European champions for the first time.
PSG arrive as reigning champions, having already eliminated Liverpool FC and Chelsea FC this season, while Bayern Munich have also been dominant throughout their run to the semi-finals.
Speaking to CBS Sports after the match, Saka was asked by Micah Richards which of the two sides he would prefer to face in the final.
The 24-year-old initially hesitated before offering a cryptic reply:
“You can’t ask me that! You know I’ll have to give a media trained answer! You know deep down who we want to face, that’s all I’ll say.”
Saka’s comments have since sparked debate among Arsenal supporters, with many trying to interpret his true preference.
Some believe he would prefer PSG, given Arsenal’s defeat to them in last season’s semi-finals and the chance for revenge. Others suggest he may favour Bayern, after Arsenal beat them convincingly earlier in the competition.
