🚨Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has dropped a bold warning for Arsenal ahead of Saturday’s Champions League final in Budapest.
The PSG winger revealed that under Luis Enrique, the squad is confident they can "beat anyone" as long as they stay unified and play their brand of football.
With an impressive six goals in his last six UCL knockout matches, Kvaratskhelia is in lethal form.
Kvaratskhelia will see a brand of football he hasn't seen in his life before on Saturday from Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. This is a promise.#ucl

🚨Guillem Balague has said it perfectly… absolutely spot on.
Two things bother me about the narrative building around Arsenal.
First, we're told constantly that the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world. Fine. So what does it mean to be consistently fighting for the title in that environment? You can't celebrate the league's brutal competitiveness and then dismiss sustained title challenges as not good enough. Pick one.
Second, and in my opinion this matters more, failure in elite sport is not losing. Luis Enrique said it. Many others have said versions of it. Failure is not trying again. It's accepting the ceiling. It's going through the motions. Arteta has never done that. Every setback has been fuel for the next attempt.
The problem is social media runs on binary outcomes. Win or fail. Hero or fraud. No room for nuance. No room for the manager who rebuilt a club into genuine title contenders and is still hungry for more.
Simeone has been at Atlético for over a decade. Two league titles, two Champions League finals. Still no European Cup. Nobody serious calls that failure. They call it one of the great managerial tenures in modern football. And I'm convinced that given 14 years like Simeone, Mikel will win more leagues than him.
Arteta may or may not win the league this year. He may not lift the Champions League this year or next. But as long as he keeps pushing, keeps trying, keeps competing at this level, failure isn't what this is.
Find another name for it.
Frustrations in the EFL Cup final and now FA Cup quarter-final will be forgotten if Arsenal win the title. It’s always been about the league for Arsenal this season. 22 years since the Invincibles. Being best in the land, the champions, matters most. Lessons from St Mary’s still need to be taken: more players need to stand up to be counted, Max Dowman has to be given a run of starts now, wide or 10, and short-corner routines should be used only occasionally. Return of Raya, Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Rice, Gyokeres and Saka (when fit and fatigue-free) to starting XI will help. #SOUARS
People keep digging out Arsenal and they keep digging out victories. People can question their style, set-piece prowess and occasional time-wasting but they cannot question Arsenal’s character. Resilient. Piero Hincapie immense again. Loan star. #AFC#BRIARS
Arsenal have good players, and still a good chance of the title. No need to panic. They just need to be more positive. Their occasional time-wasting almost seems a set-play at times. Column. https://t.co/emt9ToMYWl
