Umeaa Overview

The Champions League final. It's the biggest match on the club calendar in football, always featuring historic clubs and so often the best players on the planet at that moment. Sometimes, it lives up to expectation in the most extraordinary fashion. Sometimes, sadly, it just doesn't. Hopefully, Saturday's final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain will fall into the former category.

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate will reportedly leave the club upon the expiry of his contract this summer. Despite months of negotiations and public confidence from the player himself, a final agreement could not be reached to keep the Frenchman at Anfield beyond July 1.

Alisson has been generating surprising exit talk at Liverpool, with Brad Friedel telling GOAL why the Brazilian may be a bigger loss for the Reds than Mohamed Salah - as potential goalkeeping replacements are discussed. World Cup winner Emi Martinez is considered to be the kind of character that Arne Slot would require at Anfield if a new No.1 needs to be found.

The European football season is almost over. Just one game remains - the Champions League final, as Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain prepare to do battle in Budapest on Saturday. Both sides come into the game having won their own domestic titles, with PSG looking to defend the crown they won for the first time last season, while the Gunners are aiming to secure their first European Cup.
