Former Chelsea and Netherlands star Ruud Gullit has backed Paris Saint-Germain to beat Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League final.
PSG are the defending champions after crushing Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich a year ago, but the Gunners will feel confident having recently ended a 22-year wait for Premier League glory.
Speaking during an exclusive interview with MrRaffle.com, Gullit described PSG as the overwhelming favourites while singling out star forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for praise.
The 2026 Champions League final will be played at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary, on Saturday 30 May, with kick-off scheduled for 18:00 CET (17:00 BST).
PSG to outclass Arsenal
Although he recognises the good work that Mikel Arteta has done in north London, Gullit – who won the old European Cup twice with AC Milan – is sticking with Ligue 1 winners PSG ahead of Saturday’s showpiece.
“I think Paris Saint-Germain are still the favourites,” he said.
“The way they played against Bayern [in the semi-finals] was outstanding tactically. And physically, they are top of the bill at the moment.
“They don’t give the opposition any easy build up, they press you immediately, and all their great players are willing to work hard.
“That’s a fantastic combination.”
Asked to offer a prediction for the match, Gullit didn’t hesitate: “2-0 Paris Saint-Germain.”

Kvaratskhelia a ‘complete footballer’
On the role of Georgia international Kvaratskhelia in Luis Enrique’s side, Gullit added: “He is a fantastic player.
“Like I’ve said in previous interviews – if you watch Kvaratskhelia when he played at Napoli, he would do something brilliant and then just walk around.
“Now he’s running back like crazy, working really hard. That makes him a complete footballer.
“I like him very much.”
