Odegaard and Saka ready for Champions League final after silencing 'outside noise' with Premier League glory

Bukayo Saka believes that the desire for revenge after last year's defeats to PSG does not need to provide additional motivation.

"I think we have enough fire going into the game tomorrow. We can write history, and that alone is motivation enough for us," he said.

"I don't think about pressure too much. I just try to enjoy it and leave the rest in God's hands," he added.

The lifelong Arsenal supporter, who came through the academy, spoke at length about what winning the Champions League would mean for him.

"We all know where my journey began – at the age of seven at Hale End. I am very excited about the opportunity to win another trophy and create history for the club I love. I know exactly what this triumph would mean to the fans. I have been on this journey, loving this club, witnessing the highs and lows. We saw what it meant to them after winning the Premier League," Saka stated.

"We are very excited, but we are trying to stay focused – it is a great opportunity."

Arsenal are a "tight-knit team, fighting for each other on and off the pitch" and will do all they can to write another chapter in the club's history," the winger promised.

"Mikel made it clear that his mission was to restore Arsenal to its rightful level, competing for the biggest trophies. I am proud to say we have made it here," Saka added.

Club captain Martin Odegaard lifted the Premier League trophy earlier and wants to do everything to replicate that feeling.

"It felt amazing. All we have been through to reach that moment makes it feel so good. It is going to be there forever for all of us. The energy we take from that, going into this game, is great. We are ready to go again," the Norwegian said.

"The outside noise of people saying we cannot do it is gone now. The mindset is still the same – we want to come here and win tomorrow."

"It is something special that we can achieve, it has not been done before. We want to make even more history," he added.

Odegaard mentioned Viktor Gyokeres, the club's marquee summer signing, as a player who could prove decisive in the final.

"He has been brilliant since he arrived, scoring some important goals. The attention he draws on the pitch creates space for the rest of us. He works so hard, leaves everything on the pitch. He is a special player, and he has already won a trophy in his first season – that is pretty good," he said.

"We have shown our quality for a very long time, winning probably the toughest league in the world, and that gives us confidence. We are playing a great team, but our main focus is on ourselves and what we can control," Odegaard concluded.
