The new kings of Europe will be crowned at the end of May when PSG and Arsenal face off in the Champions League final at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest.
The Gunners have reached their first final since 2006 but will need to unseat the current holders to get their hands on a maiden European title.

After winning their first Champions League title last year, the Ligue 1 winners are looking to go back-to-back and blew past fellow heavyweights Bayern Munich in the last four.
Last season, and in previous campaigns, all three UEFA finals were made available to watch for free by TNT Sports but will UK viewers be treated to the same this term?
Radio Times brings you the details about the Champions League final 2026 and whether you can watch for free.
Will the Champions League final be available to watch for free?
No. As things stand, there are no confirmed plans for the Champions League final to be available to watch for free.
Despite English teams contesting all three European finals, TNT Sports has made the decision not to make the showpiece games available free of charge, which, according to a report from The Guardian, has frustrated UEFA.
Last season, fans could tune in to watch the Champions League final on YouTube or by signing up for free for discovery+, which was the streaming partner of TNT Sports before the recent switch to HBO Max.
