Match Overview
Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain face off in the Champions League final at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on Saturday evening. The Gunners are chasing their first European title and aim to complete a historic double after securing the Premier League crown for the first time in 22 years with a 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace last Sunday.
Mikel Arteta rested several key players during the final league match to keep them fresh for the showdown. His biggest decision will be whether to start Kai Havertz, who scored the winning goal for Chelsea in the 2021 Champions League final, or Viktor Gyökeres up front.
Defensively, Arsenal face issues at right-back. Ben White is ruled out due to injury, while Jurriën Timber is racing against time to recover after two months on the sidelines.
PSG, who eliminated Arsenal in last season’s semi-finals, are aiming to become the first team since Real Madrid in 2017 to retain the Champions League trophy. Luis Enrique’s side also look to complete a domestic league and European double after another dominant Ligue 1 campaign.
