Expect surprises, not just PSG attack vs. Arsenal ...

ESPN Soccer reports that BUDAPEST, Hungary -- The UEFA Champions League final is being billed as the "best attack" (Paris Saint-Germain) vs.

the "best defense" (Arsenal) in European football, the unstoppable force colliding with the immoveable object.

And like all storytelling tropes, there's a strong grounding in reality.

By Saturday night, PSG could end up with the highest-scoring season of any side in the Champions League era, while Arsenal have conceded less than half a goal a game (0.43) in this tournament.

Cue predictions of PSG laying siege to the massed ranks in the Gunners' defensive third, with Arsenal relying on the ever-familiar (and effective) set-piece strategy in response, with the occasional sortie in transition sprinkled in.

However, it's just as likely that this isn't what we're going to see at the Puskas Arena on Saturday.
