Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, called on his players to “own the moment” ahead of Saturday’s Champions League final clash against holders Paris Saint-Germain.
The Gunners have never won the trophy and were beaten in their only other final appearance, against Barcelona 20 years ago.
Arteta said he was convinced his team could make history by beating Luis Enrique’s side in Budapest.
“It’s the opportunity to own the moment, it’s the second time in our history we are here,” the Spanish coach told reporters on Friday.
