Paris Saint-Germain seeks historic double

Under the guidance of coach Luis Enrique, the current French and European champions are ready to face the newly crowned English champions.

Arsenal’s quest for a maiden title

The Gunners secured their path to the knockout stages with an impressive record of 8 victories from 8 matches in the unique group phase. Their knockout run included triumphs over Bayer Leverkusen, Sporting, and Atlético de Madrid (with aggregate results of 1-1 and 1-0). Fresh off their Premier League title win, Arsenal is now determined to lift their first-ever European trophy.

Manager Mikel Arteta will be without defender Ben White for the final. However, the majority of his robust backline, featuring Riccardo Calafiori, William Saliba, and Gabriel, remains available. In midfield, Declan Rice will orchestrate play, while the attacking threat will come from star forwards Viktor Gyökeres and Bukayo Saka.

• PSG: Safonov – Hakimi (or Zaïre-Emery), Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz – Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
• Arsenal: Raya – Lewis-Skelly, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori (or Mosquera) – Eze, Zubimendi (or Ödegaard), Rice – Saka, Gyökeres, Trossard (or Martinelli).
