Arsenal - FC Barcelona: Form Analysis
Arsenal's season remains in fine form. Despite losing 2 of their last 3 Women's Super League matches, the London club finished 2nd in the English league. And the Gunners also shone on the European stage. Firstly, the team coached by Renée Slegers finished top of Group C of the Champions League, with 5 wins from 6 games. And they haven't taken their foot off the gas when it comes to knockout matches. Leah Williamson's teammates first overcame Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. After losing the first leg 2-0, they won the return leg 3-0. They did it again in the semi-finals, against OL! With their backs against the wall after losing at home (1-2), Arsenal pulled out all the stops in the return leg at Groupama Stadium and qualified for the final, somewhat to everyone's surprise (1-4).
FC Barcelona gave Chelsea no chance in the Women's Champions League semi-finals (aggregate score: 8-2).
For their part, FC Barcelona leave nothing in their wake. They had no trouble winning La Liga, winning 28 of their 30 matches. To cap it all, Barça won the Spanish Supercup, easily beating Real Madrid in the final (5-0). On the domestic front, things may not be over yet. Pere Romeu's players will contest the Spanish Cup final against Atlético de Madrid on June 7. It's the same story in Europe! After finishing top of Group D, the Catalan club has not put its foot down for the knockout stages. Aitana Bonmati and her team-mates had no difficulty in eliminating VfL Wolfsburg in the quarter-finals (aggregate score: 10-2) and Chelsea in the semi-finals (aggregate score: 8-2). All the ingredients for a confident start to this final European encounter.

Arsenal & FC Barcelona Squad Analysis
Arsenal's key players will have to pull out all the stops if they are to make an impact in this Women's Champions League final. The central pairing of Leah Williamson and Stephanie Catley will have their work cut out against the Barça attack. In midfield, it will be a special match for Mariona Caldentey. She spent almost 10 years with Barcelona before joining Arsenal last summer. With 7 goals to her name, she is one of the top scorers in this year's competition and will be hoping to give her former team a run for their money. Renée Slegers will have other attacking assets at her disposal, in the shape of Chloe Kelly, Alessia Russo, and Beth Mead.
FC Barcelona has talent in every department.
But FC Barcelona also has plenty to offer. They can count on some of the world's best players at every level. Mapi Leon and Irene Paredes form one of the world's best backlines. In midfield, Aitana Bonmati, Alexia Putellas and Patricia Guijarro are always on hand for the most eagerly-awaited matches. And what can we say about the offensive sector? Caroline Graham Hansen never misses an opportunity to shine. And the same goes for Claudia Pina. She is the top scorer in this Champions League, with 10 goals.
