The match presents a defining moment for Mikel Arteta’s side, who are seeking to complete a historic league and European double in what has been a remarkable season for the North London club.

The fixture also carries significant historical weight, forming part of the Arsenal PSG Champions League final narrative as Arsenal attempt to join an elite group of English clubs that have won both their domestic top-flight title and the European Cup or Champions League in the same season.

Only three English clubs have achieved that feat to date: Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City, with each having secured the double on multiple occasions across different eras of European football.

Arsenal secured their place in the final after overcoming Atlético Madrid in the semi-final, while Paris Saint-Germain progressed following a hard-fought victory over Bayern Munich, setting up a clash between two in-form European heavyweights.

For PSG, the final also represents an opportunity to make history of their own, as the French champions aim to become the first club outside Real Madrid to successfully defend the Champions League title in the modern era.

Real Madrid remain the only side to have achieved consecutive Champions League triumphs since the competition’s rebrand in 1992, winning three successive titles between 2015–16 and 2017–18.
