Scoring against PSG would see Arsenal break an unprecedented 100-year record.

Ending 22 years of longing for the Premier League trophy, Arsenal currently has the opportunity to achieve a historic double and establish the most remarkable goal-scoring milestone of the 21st century.

The 2025/26 Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain carries special significance for Mikel Arteta's side. Just one match away, Arsenal can claim the first European title in the club's history.

After snapping a 22-year Premier League drought, the "Gunners" now face the chance to cap a historic season with a double of England's and Europe's biggest honors. Yet that is not the only reason Arsenal fans are eagerly anticipating this moment.

Arsenal won the Premier League title after 22 years of waiting.

According to stats from Livescore, Arsenal is on the verge of setting a club record for most goals scored in a season in the 21st century. Across all competitions this campaign, the London side has netted 120 goals, just one short of the record of 121 set in the 2016/17 season.

This means that if Arsenal scores two or more goals against PSG in Budapest, they will smash a record that has stood for nearly a decade. The prospect of making history in the final itself of the Champions League makes the upcoming clash even more special.

One of Arsenal's biggest strengths this season is their perfect balance between attack and defense. Arteta's team no longer relies entirely on individual moments of brilliance as before, but has become a stable and extremely difficult side to beat.

The final between PSG and Arsenal will take place at 23:00 on May 30 (Vietnam time).

On the flip side, Arsenal's defense has also produced an astonishing statistic in the Champions League. Apart from the routine match against Kairat Almaty earlier in the campaign, no team has scored two goals against Arsenal in European competition this season.

That is why many Arsenal fans believe that if their side scores twice against PSG in Budapest, the chance of lifting the trophy will be extremely high. With a defensive core featuring William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and goalkeeper David Raya, Arsenal possesses one of the most solid defensive setups in Europe at present.

No team has scored more than one goal against Arsenal in the Champions League this season, except Kairat Almaty.

Of course, the challenge for Arsenal will be far from easy, as their opponent is the reigning Champions League titleholder. PSG under Luis Enrique still maintains a fearsome attacking force with high-speed pressing and lightning-fast transitions.

Nevertheless, Arsenal enters the match with immense confidence after their most brilliant season under Arteta's reign. If they rediscover their best attacking inspiration, the London side can certainly create a historic night in Budapest.

A victory over PSG would not only bring home the first Champions League trophy but also allow Arsenal to close the season with a goal-scoring milestone never achieved in this century.
