Beyond the international football stage, the club game reaches its ultimate pinnacle. 

On Saturday, 30 May, at 18:00 CAT, the historic Puskás Aréna in Budapest hosts a truly unique continental collision as Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain battle for the UEFA Champions League crown. 

This marks the first major UEFA men's club final between sides from France and England, and only the fourth time capital cities collide for the ultimate prize.
