Arsenal star Bukayo Saka got a big reaction from the pundits in the CBS Sports studio as he discussed who he wants to play in the Champions League final.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gunners were in celebratory mood last night as they made it to the final of Europe\u2019s biggest club competition for the first time in 20 years and only the second time in their history.<\/p>\n

Saka scored the winner for Arsenal as they beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium and 2-1 on aggregate, and he was asked about his preferred final opponent out of Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain afterwards.<\/p>\n

Watch below, however, as Saka insisted he couldn\u2019t give an answer to that question from Micah Richards, though he dropped the cryptic line that \u201cdeep down\u201d he knows who he wants to face\u2026<\/p>\n

This got a big reaction from the likes of Richards and Thierry Henry on the punditry team, and it\u2019s interesting to think about what Saka could mean.<\/p>\n

Who does Bukayo Saka want Arsenal to face in the Champions League final?<\/h2>\n

We will probably never know for sure which team Saka was talking about as Bayern prepare to host PSG at the Allianz Arena this evening for the second leg of their semi-final tie.<\/p>\n

It may be that the England international has his eye on revenge on PSG for knocking them out in last season\u2019s semi-final, which was a closer contest than the 3-1 aggregate score-line would suggest.<\/p>\n

Then again, perhaps Saka is thinking back to Arsenal\u2019s 3-1 win over Bayern earlier this season in the league phase of the competition, with the player and the rest of his teammates perhaps fancying their chances against a side they already know they can beat.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll find out later who will be Arsenal\u2019s opponents, with the two finalists set to meet in Budapest on the 30th of May.<\/p>\n
