PSG vs. Arsenal Champions League Final Preview

Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal arrive in the final through dramatically different paths, but both clubs are now one win away from lifting Europe’s most prestigious trophy. Here’s what you need to know about each team.

Paris Saint-Germain F.C.

PSG enters the final looking to become the first club since Real Madrid to win back-to-back Champions League titles. The French giants have been powered by star attackers Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembélé, who have combined for 17 goals during the tournament.

PSG survived a thrilling semifinal against Bayern Munich, winning the aggregate series 6-5 after a wild first-leg shootout and a draw in Germany. Despite losing the possession battle in both matches, PSG consistently created higher-quality scoring chances and proved lethal on the counterattack.

With one of the deepest attacking squads in Europe, PSG now sits one victory away from another historic season and another Champions League trophy.

Arsenal

Arsenal returns to the Champions League Final for the first time in 20 years after an impressive knockout-stage run. The Gunners enter the championship match riding an eight-match winning streak and a 14-match unbeaten streak across all competitions.

In the semis against Atlético Madrid, they played to a 1-1 draw in the first leg before eking out a 1-0 victory in the second leg to make their first Final in 20 years. Arsenal enters the final as an underdog hoping to keep their momentum for one more match as they gun for their first ever European Cup.
