Arsenal arrive in the Champions League final with an impressive run, having conceded only two defeats in their last 24 matches in the competition, for 18 wins and 4 draws. A regularity which confirms the rise in power of the London club on the European scene and makes it a formidable opponent when approaching the big meeting of the season.
But a statistical detail disturbs this almost total solidity. The Gunners’ only two defeats over this period were inflicted by Paris Saint-Germain, during the semi-final first leg and second leg of the current season. An anomaly which gives a particular color to the upcoming final in Budapest, where PSG will find a team that it is, on recent paper, one of the rare to have really brought down.
