Overview
- Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain meet at Budapest’s Puskás Arena in the Champions League final on Saturday with Arsenal chasing their first European Cup and a season double.
- PSG enter as defending champions and are widely viewed as favourites after high-scoring knockout wins last season and this year’s run that highlighted their attacking depth.
- Arsenal arrive unbeaten in the competition, built on defensive discipline that produced nine shutouts and just six goals conceded in 14 games.
- Late fitness and selection questions are the immediate talking points, with Arsenal confirmed without Ben White and Jurrien Timber listed doubtful while PSG are missing goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier.
- Coaches and analysts frame the contest as a tactical clash between Arsenal’s strength out of possession and PSG’s explosive wide attackers, a rematch of last season’s tie that adds extra context to the outcome.
