Arsenal And PSG Face Off In Budapest As Jurrien Timber Confirmed Fit For Champions League Final

Arsenal take on Paris Saint-Germain at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, looking to make history by winning the Champions League for the very first time.

Standing in their way are the competition holders, who eliminated Arsenal at the semi-final stage during the previous season’s tournament.

PSG head coach Luis Enrique has stated his side’s motivation to win a second successive Champions League title is even greater than Arsenal’s desire to lift their first.

Mikel Arteta acknowledged that PSG are the favourites given their status as holders, but insisted it is Arsenal’s aim to come and take the crown from them.

Arsenal received a significant boost ahead of the final, with Arteta confirming that Jurrien Timber is fit enough to start the match in Budapest.

PSG boss Enrique confirmed that both Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi are available, while Ousmane Dembele also confirmed his readiness to feature.

Arsenal head into the clash as underdogs, with PSG priced at 8/11 and Arsenal at 11/10 to lift the trophy according to available market odds.

Arteta has guided his side through fourteen matches across the eight league phase games and six legs of the knockout rounds without suffering a single defeat.

Big wins over top opposition, resilient results, key goals from important players, and crucial saves from David Raya have all contributed to Arsenal reaching this historic final.

This is only the second time in Arsenal’s 140-year history that the club has reached a UEFA Champions League final, making tonight’s occasion particularly momentous.
