The road to the final

The Paris Saint-Germain arrives in Budapest after a rollercoaster campaign. Despite a lukewarm group stage performance that left them in 11th place, the French side dramatically raised their level when it mattered most. Victories over Monaco (3-2, 2-2), Chelsea (5-2, 3-0), Liverpool (2-0, 2-0) and Bayern Munich (5-4, 1-1) paved the way to this decisive encounter.

Arsenal, on their side, has impressed throughout the tournament. Undefeated in the group stage and knockout rounds alike, the English side boasts a perfect record heading into this final. As reigning English champions, Mikel Arteta’s men are determined to claim the ultimate prize, but they’ll have to overcome a PSG side that eliminated them in the semis last season (1-0, 2-1).
