The Georgian forward has already netted 10 goals and provided 7 assists in the Champions League this season.
PSG’s path to the final saw them overcome Monaco in a playoff after finishing 11th in the unique group stage format. Subsequently, the Parisian giants dispatched several European football powerhouses, including Chelsea, Liverpool, and ultimately Bayern Munich in a thrilling aggregate victory (5-4, 1-1).
arsenal’s quest for a maiden European crown
The Gunners laid a strong foundation for their campaign by securing 8 victories in 8 matches during the group stage. Their knockout journey involved eliminating Bayer Leverkusen, Sporting, and Atlético de Madrid (1-1, 1-0 aggregate).
