Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Jurrien Timber will be fit to play in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday. Timber, who has been sidelined with an injury since March, is now available for selection, along with teammate Noni Madueke.

Arsenal's Ambitious Pursuit

Having recently secured their first domestic title in 22 years, Arsenal is eager to claim the Champions League trophy for the first time in the club's history. The final, taking place in Budapest, pits the newly crowned English champions against a confident PSG side that eliminated them in last year's semi-finals.

Arteta expressed the significance of the upcoming match, stating, “We have the opportunity tomorrow to write a new chapter in the history of the football club.” He emphasized the need for clarity, courage, and a strong desire to win, noting that the Premier League victory has only intensified the team's ambition. “The ambition is bigger,” he said, highlighting their focus on achieving further success.

Focus on the Moment

Despite discussions around the differences between the Premier League and Ligue 1, Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka believes that the final will hinge on key moments rather than fatigue. “A game like this is not going to be decided on minutes, it is going to be decided by moments,” Saka remarked, viewing the match as a significant opportunity for the team.

Arteta also reflected on last year's defeat to PSG, describing it as an unfortunate outcome and commending PSG manager Luis Enrique as an “inspiration.” However, he made it clear that Arsenal's goal is to dethrone the defending champions. “They are defending the trophy, they are the champions and we are here to take it away from them,” Arteta stated.
