Gary Lineker has thrown his weight behind Arsenal's chances of securing a historic double this season, predicting that Mikel Arteta's side will lift both the Premier League and Champions League trophies—despite the looming threat of Paris Saint-Germain in the European final.

The French giants booked their spot in the Champions League final after a commanding semi-final victory over Bayern Munich, while Arsenal punched their ticket by overcoming Atletico Madrid. This sets the stage for what promises to be one of the most anticipated matches of the season, with both teams chasing glory on two fronts.

Arsenal have firmly established themselves among the elite of world football this campaign. Arteta's squad has spent the majority of the season perched at the top of the Premier League table, while also delivering a string of impressive European performances to reach the final. The Gunners now face the challenge of maintaining their momentum across both competitions as they pursue a double that would etch their names into club folklore.

However, Arsenal are well aware that PSG represent a formidable obstacle. The Ligue 1 champions have reached consecutive Champions League finals and possess the firepower to dismantle any opponent. Adding an extra layer of intrigue, PSG eliminated Arsenal from the competition last season—a result that will undoubtedly fuel both motivation and caution for Arteta's men heading into the final.

While many pundits view PSG as the favorites given their scintillating form throughout the season, Lineker believes Arsenal have the grit and quality to prevail. "PSG have to be the favourites. They've won it already, but Arsenal are a tough nut to crack," the former England striker told the Metro. "Finals are often dogged affairs, and Arsenal have shown they can grind out results when it matters most."

For Arsenal fans dreaming of a double, Lineker's backing adds to the growing belief that this could be a season for the ages—one that might just see the Gunners return to the summit of English and European football.
