Arsène Wenger has declared that the Champions League trophy "belongs at the Emirates" after Arsenal booked their place in the final, though he acknowledged that Paris Saint-Germain will be formidable opponents.

The Gunners' semi-final triumph over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday marked a watershed moment for the club—and for its legendary former manager, who first led Arsenal to the European showpiece 20 years ago.

"We had to wait for 20 years, but we came back," Wenger told beIN SPORTS. "This time, we have to bring this trophy home. It belongs at the Emirates—without this trophy, it's not completely finished. We have to finish the job."

Wenger's words carry the weight of history. In 2006, his Arsenal side reached the final for the first time, only to lose 2-1 to Barcelona after goalkeeper Jens Lehmann's early red card left them battling with 10 men. Sol Campbell's header gave the Gunners hope, but it wasn't enough to hold off the Catalan giants.

Now, Arsenal have another chance to claim European glory—but standing in their way are a PSG side that eliminated them at the semi-final stage last season. Wenger, who watched PSG overcome Bayern Munich on aggregate, was quick to praise the Parisians' evolution.

"I would outline the quality of PSG, who have become a really complete team with great cohesion," Wenger said. "They also have another extraordinary quality—any striker on this team, in a one-versus-one situation, finishes with a shot on goal that's unstoppable. They make sure the goalkeeper has to make a save, and that's a formidable quality."

For Arsenal, the May 30th final represents more than just a chance to lift the trophy. It's an opportunity to right the wrongs of 2006 and avenge last season's semi-final heartbreak. As Wenger put it, the job is far from finished—but the stage is set for a memorable showdown.
