🤔 They’ll destroy them: this Champions League prediction could be way off! | OneFootball

Patrice Evra does not seem to give Arsenal much of a chance ahead of the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. "My favorite for this game is PSG," he said in an interview with 'GOAL'.

So far, so good. All in all, a large part of the football world is likely expecting the defending champions to win. But Evra goes one step further: "If PSG have all their players fit and available – if Ousmane Dembélé and the others are ready – then they will destroy Arsenal."

The Frenchman’s very specific warning is this: if Arsenal sit back in defense, PSG will "put five goals past them." 

The bizarre thing about this prediction is that, if it comes true, the Gunners would have conceded almost as many goals in a single match as they had in all their previous Champions League games combined. In a total of 14 matches, goalkeeper David Raya has only had to pick the ball out of his net six times. On no fewer than nine occasions, the Spaniard and his teammates also kept a clean sheet.

So despite all of PSG’s quality, it seems virtually impossible for them to put five past this North London defensive fortress (just 27 goals conceded in 38 Premier League games) in 90 minutes.

Then again, no one would have expected Paris to beat Inter 5-0 last year either...
