PRESS CONFERENCE | Mikel Arteta previews the Champions League final | PSG threat & Timber update

Arsenal arrives at the Champions League final with focused, positive preparation earned through performances in the competition. Jurrien Timber and Nani Madawek are fit to play, while Ben White is unavailable. The team draws lessons from three PSG semi-final matches, using what was learned to improve, while recognizing that both teams have evolved differently and face different scenarios. Selecting the starting team is described as difficult because all players want to participate in the biggest match and understand the importance of making an impact when needed. Luis Enrique is credited with shaping PSG’s identity and mentality, and Arsenal will face him on the touchline. The final is a historic opportunity for Arsenal, their first in 20 years, to write a new chapter.

"The preparation has been really good and really focused, really positive. We are here because we have the right to be here in the manner that we have played and performed in the competition. Tomorrow on that field we're going to have to earn the right to go and win the trophy."

"We certainly use examples and things that we learned from those three matches. It's a lot to take from there, but it's true that we have evolved in a different way. They have evolved in a different way. Their scenario is different as well. We took some learnings and some things that we have to do better, and I'm sure that will happen tomorrow."

"Picking the team is one of the most painful and challenging parts of my job. I look around and I see the joy and the desire that all of them have to play this match. We all know this is the biggest game in football competition and everybody wants to be part of that. They all understand what it takes and how important everybody is to make an impact when needed."

"He's always been a reference since he was a player because he was a very special player. When he became a coach, if you look at his journey when he left Spain and went abroad and then came back, what he's done with PSG is remarkable. You can see his fingerprints all over itthe identity, the mentality, the way the players behave, the way they play. He's been an inspiration and tomorrow we'll be clashing each other on that touchline."
