Live updates: PSG v Arsenal LIVE - Arteta faces huge fitness call for Champions League final as opponents include key name in squad. Arsenal are set to bid for a first European crown against the defending champions in Budapest.
Match Eve in Budapest
It is match eve in Budapest as Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain make their final preparations for tomorrow's massive Champions League final. Mikel Arteta's side are back in European football's biggest game for the first time in two decades and are plotting more success after a long-awaited Premier League win. Arsenal have never won this competition but have received a significant injury boost with Jurrien Timber returning to training ahead of the decider. Can they deny PSG back-to-back tournament crowns? Arteta is due to speak to the press later on Friday.
PSG's Advantage
The French capital club perhaps have an advantage over their opponents, having wrapped up their domestic title rather more comfortably than their counterparts. With such a diverse, dynamic, and devastating group of attacking talents at their disposal, PSG begin as favourites for European glory in a classic clash of contrasts that could create a vintage Champions League final.
