The UEFA Champions League final has arrived as PSG and Arsenal will clash in Budapest, Hungary for the silverware.

PSG disposed of Bayern Munich in the semi-final to advance, while Arsenal took care of business against Atlético Madrid.

PSG are +130 favorites on the moneyline, while a draw is available at +225. Fancy an Arsenal win? The Gunners are +220 on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. In terms of odds to win the cup, PSG are listed at -145 while Arsenal are +120.

Let’s take a look at the best anytime scorer bet for the final.

PSG vs. Arsenal Anytime Goalscorer Pick

Ousmane Dembele has been firing on all cylinders for PSG in these knockout rounds on their way to a second consecutive final.

Dembele scored in the Round of 16 against Chelsea in the first leg. Then in the quarter-finals, he found himself on the scoresheet twice in the second leg at Anfield. Fast forward to the semi-finals, and the reigning Ballon d’Or winner scored twice in the first leg against Bayern Munich, and followed that up with another goal in the second leg. That’s six goals in his last six knockout games as he has been the focal point up top for PSG. The French side have a lot of attacking options, but Dembele is the creme de la creme.

Dembele has been much more prolific in the Champions League compared to his league form this season for a reason. PSG usually cruise to the Ligue 1 title, and rotate a ton in every position throughout the season as they use the UCL as their main priority. Dembele only featured in 22 league games this season, scoring 10 times and assisting seven. His record in Europe is much better, scoring seven goals in 12 games, with six of those coming in the knockout rounds when the stakes are the highest.

Arsenal have the best defense in Europe right now, so PSG will likely struggle to score in general, but if anyone is going to do it, Ousmane Dembele feels like the most likely option. Let’s also remember that PSG turned up to last year’s final and beat Inter Milan 5-0, so there is potential for them to get some goals, although I don’t expect this game to go in that direction. At +220 odds, I love Dembele to find his way onto the scoresheet.

The Pick: Ousmane Dembele (+220)
