Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain Meet in Champions League Final

Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain will face each other in the Champions League final on Saturday at Ferenc Puskas Arena in Budapest. Arsenal completed a 63-game season that included domestic cup runs, a Premier League title race decided in the final week, and a first final appearance in 20 years.

Five players from the squad have each played more than 4,000 minutes across all competitions. No player from Paris Saint-Germain has reached that total.

Arsenal players have exceeded 3,000 minutes this season, compared with three from Paris Saint-Germain. Arsenal's schedule in the Premier League limited opportunities for rotation, while Paris Saint-Germain rotated more freely in Ligue 1. Arsenal have had six days since their most recent match, a victory at Crystal Palace with a rotated side.

A player from the Arsenal squad stated that the outcome will depend on moments of quality rather than accumulated minutes.

Timber has returned to fitness and is available to start. Noni Madueke has recovered from a knock sustained at Crystal Palace. Ben White remains the only confirmed absentee from the squad.

Arsenal lost to Paris Saint-Germain in last season's semifinal. The manager said the team reviewed those matches and identified areas to improve. The captain stated that winning the Premier League has increased the desire to secure another trophy. A parade involving up to one million supporters is planned in north London after the final, regardless of the result.
