The UEFA Champions League final is set between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain. Arsenal reached the final by defeating Atletico Madrid in the semifinals, while PSG advanced after beating Bayern Munich in the last four. PSG enter as defending champions after winning the tournament for the first time last season, including a 5-0 final victory over Inter Milan. Desire Doue scored twice to become a standout at age 19, with goals also coming from Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Senny Mayulu. Ousmane Dembele missed out on scoring despite being a key figure. PSG are considered heavy favourites, but Arsenal are viewed as a rising force.

The Gunners have never won Europe's most prized footballing trophy but have just ended a 22-year wait to lift the Premier League. Doue and Dembele remain the key figures for PSG although the latter is an injury doubt for the final."
"Hakimi is also one of the most recognisable players in the Parisians' ranks, but he is the major concern for the match, having missed both legs of the semifinal and the last four Ligue 1 games of the season because of an injury.
