Gunners have been designated as the away team for showpiece fixture in Budapest
Arsenal will face Paris Saint-Germain in this season’s Champions League final in Budapest on May 30.
The Gunners narrowly beat Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals, winning 2-1 on aggregate after Bukayo Saka’s goal gave them the edge in a 1-0 second-leg triumph following an initial nervy and controversial 1-1 draw in Spain.
They will now meet PSG in a rematch of last season’s semi-final tie, which they lost 3-1 overall, with the holders having reached a second successive Champions League showpiece by squeezing past Bayern Munich.
A 1-1 draw in Bavaria was enough to take Luis Enrique’s side back to the final, after they edged out their fellow heavyweights 5-4 in an all-time classic at the Parc des Princes.
Regardless of the outcome, Arsenal stand to record their best finish in the Champions League since they were denied by Barcelona in heartbreaking fashion at the Stade de France on their first final appearance back in 2006.
They wore a yellow change strip in that match as goals from Samuel Eto’o and Juliano Belletti cancelled out Sol Campbell’s opener in Paris.
If Arsenal lift the Champions League trophy on May 30, they should do so in their classic red and white home kit.
As Arsenal were drawn into the blue bracket in this season’s knockout rounds, which saw them dodge the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester City en route to the final, they will be considered as the away team.
Even though the final will be played on neutral ground at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, one team must serve as the away side for administrative reasons.
That means they would have been the team to wear a change strip should there be a kit clash, as there would certainly have been against Bayern, whose home kit is red.
PSG’s home kit being navy blue with only a strip of red down the middle should mean that Arsenal also wear their home kit in the final, as they did when travelling to Paris in last season’s semi-final second leg.
