Champions League final: Arsenal vs PSG
Saturday is the biggest night in Arsenal's modern history. The Champions League final against PSG in Budapest, your first since 2006. Trossard, Lewis-Skelly, Rice, and Eze are all expected to feature (1). Arteta has told his squad to stay grounded: the job isn't finished yet (3) (5). Calafiori says he carries Italy with him into this final, calling it redemption for missing the World Cup (7).
One more win and you complete a historic treble, Premier League, Champions League, and the first English sweep of all three UEFA club competitions in a single season. Crystal Palace beat Rayo Vallecano to win the Conference League on Wednesday, meaning England will have nine teams in European competition next season (10) (11). Now it's your turn.
Timber returns to training
Jurrien Timber completed first-team training on Wednesday and will fly with the squad to Budapest on Friday. A final decision on his matchday inclusion is expected Friday. Huge boost if he's fit, even off the bench, his versatility across the backline gives Arteta options.
