PSG play their last game of the season on the weekend when they compete against Arsenal in the Champions League final. Les Parisiens will come into this encounter at the Puskas Arena as slight favourites as they are defending champions and had a harder route to the final.
Despite being the slight favourites, Luis Enrique's side should not take anything for granted as Arsenal won all their games in the league phase of the tournament. Arteta's side then went unbeaten throughout the knockout phase of the tournament. Their defence is a huge reason behind this, with David Raya keeping nine clean sheets in 13 games
Arsenal enters this encounter on a high after winning five straight league games. There wasn't much riding on their last game against Crystal Palace as they were crowned champions just five days prior.
Here is our preview of PSG vs Arsenal for the Champions League final.

Safonov; Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
