Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain collide in the Champions League final in Budapest tonight with the Gunners chasing a historic double.
For the first time in 20 years, Arsenal have returned to the biggest fixture in club football. Having ended their long wait for a Premier League title, a maiden Champions League triumph awaits if they can keep out an exhilarating PSG side looking to defend their crown.
Luis Enrique’s side swept aside Inter Milan in the most one-sided final in recent memory a year ago but Mikel Arteta’s side are a very different prospect.
The anxiety that has so often held Arsenal back has been washed away by their league title success and they are still unbeaten in Europe this season, having beaten Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Sporting CP and Atletico Madrid on their way to the Puskas Arena.
