The only Champions League final ever played by the North London club dates back to 2006, when they suffered a painful 2-1 defeat against Barcelona. Twenty years later, Arsenal want to erase that memory at last… but first they must take down reigning European champions PSG. The showdown is set for Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest in what promises to be an explosive final between Mikel Arteta’s men and Luis Enrique’s side.
