Who will win the Champions League?

Who will win the Champions League this season? [Getty Images] Of the four Champions League semi-finalists, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid have never won the trophy, while Paris St-Germain lifted it for the first time last season [Getty Images] Thirty-two teams have fallen in this season's Champions League and just four remain. So who will become the kings of Europe?

Paris St-Germain are hoping to retain the trophy they won for the first time last season. Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are aiming to become first-time champions of Europe. Bayern Munich are out to win the competition for a seventh time, and a first since 2020.

One of them will lift the Champions League trophy at Budapest's Puskas Arena. To figure out who, BBC Sport takes a look at what the statistics suggest, while experts have their say and make predictions. Making a case for each side to lift the trophy If form in this season's Champions League was the benchmark, then Arsenal would be home and dry with 10 victories and two draws in 12 games - and they beat Bayern in November.

But the Gunners have not been in a final since 2006 - when they were beaten by Barcelona in Paris - and competition pedigree plays a role in the Champions League. The north Londoners finished top of the league phase and had been handed a favourable path to Budapest as a result, with wins over Bayer Leverkusen and Sporting in previous rounds. Just three of the previous 20 champions have been first-time winners - making it even more of an uphill task for Mikel Arteta's side.
