    Stephen Kelly and Kevin Doyle on RTE. Is it a LOI game? You'd think they could at least muster up Didi Hamann.

    Hakimi back for PSG, big help for them assuming he is close to fully fit.

    Rice, Odegaard and Lewis Skelly will need some help to stop, Vitinha,Neves and Ruiz dominating the game.

    I think Mosquera is quite solid defensively. My main concern is if Timber comes on as a sub and then breaks down, we could be in trouble. That's why I would have rather he started.

    Probably why Havertz is starting and he can drop back into midfield more to make it into a 4 in the middle at times. Gyokeres wouldn't do that.

    PSG will be much too good for Arsenal!

    I forsee a comfortable win for the French!

    Just hope the beautiful game is on show against these defensive,set piece awful to watch tactics!

    An extremely lucky path to the final masks nothing in my eyes regarding these terrible tactics!

    I’d be fairly shocked if PSG didn’t lift the trophy but may the best team win

    I don't think that Arsenal team will strike any fear in the PSG players

    Pepsi the PSG colours, and Coca Cola the Arsenal colours (not shown) it must be a sign?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Snapping at some junior staff member like that - pretty much confirms what I've always thought Whelan was like personality-wise.

    Those songs were anyway. All bar one, from their first album. Decent live band, though

    The live piano for the anthem was a bad call. Don't overthink it. Just put the anthem on and crank it up

    The same outfield 10 that started the final last year for PSG, you'd have to say that would be the ultimate defence of it should they achieve it.

    The Garryowen straight from kick off is some top tier level trolling by Arsenal to be fair. Brilliant!

    Not easy with all the corporates at a final. Making some noise.

    Really looked like he made it too hard for himself.
