Arsenal’s immovable object meets the unstoppable force of Paris Saint-Germain in Saturday’s Champions League final offering a pronounced clash of styles.

Holders PSG’s flowing attack is arguably the continent’s most exhilarating, while Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are wedded to a pragmatic approach which ended their 22-year wait to win the Premier League.

The Gunners’ football this season has not won over many neutrals but after years of nearlys and almosts, Arteta’s strategy has paid dividends.

Arsenal’s consistency beat out Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City to be crowned champions of England and led them back to Europe’s summit two decades after reaching the 2006 final.

In the Champions League Arsenal have conceded only six goals in 14 matches and are unbeaten – by contrast PSG let in 22 through the tournament.

“Without the ball, they are the best team in the world,” said PSG coach Luis Enrique of the north London side.
