For those at the parade tomorrow, be loud. Safe home. Take it easy Shout out to my GF who has been sitting beside me this game. Love to all. I've got nothing more in me. It's been a pleasure regardless of the result. This is our club and we fucking love it.

Thanks for staying with me folks. Thanks to Andrew for letting me do this. Never forget we won the league. If I was a betting man I'd be putting money on us next year. Look at the history of teams that win, it takes time to learn how to do this and our team is learning the hard way. We went through 3 years of second again, we went through 3 years of being bottlers (Fucking nonsense that was) and we won the league.

20 years ago this match broke me. It's done it again.

Handshakes and picking ends. COYG

Teams are coming out. Theirry walking out with the trophy. Some fella playing the piano

After we won the league... remember when we won the league last week? I told myself that I'd be more relaxed before Arsenal games. Aye that was nonsense. Arteta has taken this team to a ridiculous level- winning the league should in theory make this game easier to manage but we're in only our second Champions League final in history. Henry is handing over the trophy, Eze said he felt this season was scripted. You look for signs where ever you can at this point. Killers doing the pre-match.

Mosquera ahead of Timber, Havertz ahead of Gyokeres, Hincapie ahead of Calafiori. Thinking back to our bench against PSG last season and it's clear to see the work that was done last summer- we've got a full squad of players that can come on and seriously contribute in this game. What a thing for Dowman, youngest Premier League goalscorer, youngest Premier League winner, youngest player in the Champions League history and now he's on the bench for the Champions League Final.

Arsenal Team: Raya, Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard, Saka, Trossard, Havertz.

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Jesus, Eze, Martinelli, Timber, Gyokeres, Norgaard, Madueke, Merino, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Dowman



PSG Team: Safonov, Hakimi, Pacho, Marquhinhos, Nuno Mendes, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Joao Neves, Doue, Kavratskhelia, Dembele

Subs: Chevalier, Marin, Beraldo, Zabarnyi, Goncalo Ramos, Kang-in Lee, Hernandez, Mayulu, Dro Fernandez, Barcola, Zaire-Emery, Mbaye

Morning, afternoon, evening all. Blogs in Budapest and he's generously allowed me to cover the match today. I was 15 the last time we had this opportunity (still hold a grudge against Henrik Larsson). It's special to be able to enjoy the build up to this game with the Premier League in our pocket, obviously if we in this will be our first Champions League title but we'll also be the first team in the new Champions League format to go unbeaten- The Unforgettables? I've got my Invincibles mug in front of me (Thanks Sophie!) teams should be up soon. COYG
