Arsenal face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final this weekend, aiming to complete a league and European double. The Gunners secured their first Premier League title in 22 years with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on the final day, while PSG, the defending champions, overcame Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in the semi-finals.
Standard Sport has selected a combined XI of fit players from both sides, using a 4-3-3 formation. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya, who won the Premier League Golden Glove with 21 clean sheets, gets the nod over PSG's inconsistent options Matvey Safonov and Lucas Chevalier.
At right-back, PSG's Achraf Hakimi is the clear choice after being declared fit for the final, despite a hamstring injury suffered against Bayern. Arsenal's Jurrien Timber and Ben White are both injured. In central defence, Arsenal's Gabriel and William Saliba are selected ahead of PSG's Willian Pacho and Marquinhos due to their dominance from set-pieces and defensive solidity.
At left-back, PSG's Nuno Mendes is picked ahead of Arsenal's Piero Hincapie, Riccardo Calafiori, and Myles Lewis-Skelly, thanks to his athleticism, creativity, and defensive ability.
