SOC:Arsenal ready to take ECL trophy from PSG: Arteta

Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal are ready to topple Paris St Germain as the Kings of Europe.

Arteta's comments followed a "hungry" Bukayo Saka challenging his teammates to create history on the eve of Saturday's Champions League final (Sunday AEST).

Fresh from ending two decades of Premier League pain after fending off Manchester City to win the title, Arsenal are now just one game away from landing their first trophy on Europe's grandest stage in their 140-year history.

Standing in Arsenal's way at the Puskas Arena in Budapest will be PSG - the defending champions following their 5-0 thrashing of Inter Milan last year.

Luis Enrique's men have been installed as the bookmakers' favourites.

But a confident Arteta said: "They are defending the trophy, they were the last ones to earn that right to lift the trophy and they are the champions, but we are here to take that away from them."
