PSG vs Arsenal, UCL Final: the question is which side gets asked the question that doesn't suit them
A side whose strength is not conceding meets a side whose strength is transitioning when the opponent commits. Arsenal arrive in Budapest with 0.53 xG conceded across the semi-final 2nd leg — the lowest by any team in the entire knockout phase. PSG arrive on a 6-5 aggregate win over Bayern that doubled as a defensive declaration. Whichever side is forced into the wrong question — Arsenal asked to chase, PSG asked to defend a lead — loses.
