It's done. Arsenal are Premier League champions!

Joy, relief, and pride have been felt, with parades and parties flooding the streets across the globe. But there’s still one more trophy on the line, and it’s one the Gunnners have never managed to win. Arsenal will face holders Paris St-Germain in a rematch of last season’s Champions League semi-final showdown.

PSG are favorites. After winning last year’s trophy by demolishing Inter Milan, they have continued their scintillating form in the knockout rounds this year, swatting aside Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich. Achraf Hakimi is their only fitness concern. The high-flying right back is nursing a hamstring injury. If he misses out, Warren Zaire-Emery will deputize. Their attacking force needs no fanfare: Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, and Doué are an incredible unit.

This is Arsenal’s first final since 2006, a 2-1 loss to Barcelona that in many ways marked the end of an era. With the league title done, there is a sense of renewed optimism around the club to take the next step among Europe’s elite. If PSG have a heralded attack, then the defense is where you start with Arsenal. Timber will likely be the only absentee from the usual back four, but Mosquera has looked more comfortable in recent weeks. The back four diamond will be crucial to Arsenal’s success. If they can provide the solidity and frustrate PSG, Saka and Havertz may get the chances to write history.

Can Arsenal become European Champions, or will PSG repeat? For the last time this season, join us at Dillon's, and let’s conquer the Champions League, together.
