The Gunners enter the final on a historic \u200b 14-match unbeaten run, but face the ultimate test against reigning champions PSG, who dominated last year&rsquo;s final to lift the trophy. For English football, the stakes couldn&#039;t be higher: an Arsenal victory would seal a historic, clean sweep ensuring all three European trophies are held by English clubs this season following triumphs by Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.</p><p><strong>For media enquiries, please contact:</strong></p><p><strong>Hamish Birt<br>\u200b</strong>Head of Communications &amp; PR - Sport, Stan \u200b<br>\u200b\u200b<a href=\"mailto:Hamish.Birt@stan.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Hamish.Birt@stan.com.au</u></a></p><p><strong>Eamon Gannon<br>\u200b</strong>Publicist - Sport, Stan<br>\u200b<a href=\"mailto:eamon.gannon@stan.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eamon.Gannon@stan.com.au</a></p>",
