Arsenal face a meeting with Paris St-Germain in the Champions League final. The French club enters the fixture as the defending champions. Manager Luis Enrique is credited with transforming the squad from a group of individual players into a cohesive unit, according to Sky Sports. The Spaniard joined the club in 2023 and has since modified the team's internal culture and tactical approach.
PSG reached the final after previously securing the Ligue 1 title. The team has moved away from a reliance on high-profile individuals to focus on collective discipline and work rate. Arsenal will contest the match after progressing through the knockout stages to reach their first European final since 2006, per The Guardian. The London club aims to win the competition for the first time in its history. This final represents the first competitive meeting between the two sides at this stage of the tournament. Both teams have reported no new injury concerns ahead of the match in Lisbon.
