PSG holds fitness edge over Arsenal

Paris Saint-Germain appears fresher than Arsenal heading into Saturday's Champions League final, with data revealing differences in how the two teams managed player fatigue throughout the season.

Despite both teams playing 62 matches since last June, PSG's approach to squad rotation gives them a potential advantage. While Luis Enrique rotated his squad in Ligue 1, Mikel Arteta relied heavily on his best XI in domestic competitions.

PSG also benefited from having fewer high-intensity matches compared to Arsenal's packed schedule. The French side's participation in last summer's Club World Cup actually helped balance their workload, creating a more even distribution of matches across the squad. raccoongame.org
