Arsenal fans believe they have identified a clear weakness in PSG's team that Mikel Arteta can exploit in the Champions League final.
On Tuesday night, the Gunners booked their place in the Champions League final as securing a 2-1 aggregate victory over Atletico Madrid, keeping their unbeaten run in the competition alive.
As they also enjoy a five-point lead in the Premier League, it appears that Arteta may finally have the chance to silence the doubters and secure a historic double this season.
In the Champions League final they will meet reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain following their dramatic 6-5 aggregate win over Bayern Munich.

A clash with Luis Enrique's side is formidable for any team in world football at the moment, but Arsenal fans are convinced that there is one player that must be targeted if they are to lift the Champions League for the first time.
The current PSG squad is made up of some the best players in the world right now, including the likes of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha and 2025 Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele.
But some Arsenal fans clearly think that Nuno Mendes is a clear weakness in the French giants' side and one that Bukayo Saka can exploit during the final at the Puskas Arena on May 30.
Reacting to his performance in the semi-final against Bayern, one Arsenal fan wrote on X: "Mendes defensively is going to be food for Saka."
One added: "Saka has something for Nuno Mendes."
While another wrote: "Saka will cook Mendes I promise you."
Mendes was involved in perhaps the most controversial moment of the Champions League semi-finals as he avoided a second yellow card for an apparent hand ball just 30 minutes into the match, leaving Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany furious.
Meanwhile Saka, since returning from a massive 101-day injury layoff, has been enjoying impressive form, netting a goal and assist in the Premier League clash with Fulham and the winning goal in the Champions League semi-final meeting with Atletico Madrid.
It therefore comes as no surprise that Arsenal fans are confident in his ability to step up and perform in the Champions League final later this month.
