Arsenal face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final today, with the club vying for European glory. However, not every player in the squad will automatically receive a winner's medal if they triumph.
UEFA rules state that clubs are allocated 40 medals for the winning team. These are distributed to players, coaching staff, and club officials. To be eligible for a medal, a player must have been registered with the club for the competition and have made at least one appearance in the tournament, including the qualifying rounds.
For Arsenal, this means that players who have featured in any Champions League match this season—from the group stage to the final—are eligible. Those who were registered but did not play, such as some squad members, may still receive a medal at the club's discretion, as UEFA allows clubs to award medals to additional personnel.
The final against PSG will determine whether Arsenal's players can add a Champions League winner's medal to their collection. The match kicks off later today at a neutral venue.
