Arsenal have the chance to make an already special campaign even better when they take on Paris Saint-Germain in Saturday’s Champions League final.
The Gunners have already won their first Premier League title in 22 years and will now be able to claim their first Champions League title. Arsenal are playing in European club football for the first time in 20 years and are aiming for the most coveted double crown.
Mikel Arteta’s team will kick off at 5pm full of confidence after finishing first in the league and defeating Atletico Madrid, Sporting Lisbon and Bayer Leverkusen in the knockout stages. They face the difficult task of defeating title favorites PSG, who have had a brilliant season and beat Inter 5-0 in last year’s final.
Arteta, who won the league title early on, was able to rest his key players in the final Premier League game of the season at the weekend. However, due to the depth of Arsenal’s squad, there are still some difficult decisions to be made when forming the starting XI.
Julian Timber and Noni Madueke are doubts, while Ben White is sidelined through injury. All the other players want Arteta to be in the XI. But which starting XI will he choose for the showdown in Budapest?
