Arsenal travel to the Puskás Aréna aiming to secure their first-ever Champions League trophy by beating holders PSG.
The Gunners recently claimed the Premier League title following a brilliant domestic campaign. Mikel Arteta’s side now hope to complete a historic double in the Hungarian capital. They are competing in only their second European Cup final after losing to Barcelona in 2006.
Arsenal remain the only undefeated team in this season’s Champions League campaign. They have secured 11 victories and three draws while displaying immense defensive control. The London club have conceded just six goals across 14 continental fixtures this term. They face a monumental test against the reigning European champions.
