Who has scored the most Champions League goals in one season as Barcelona and Dortmund stars miss out on record
Just two teams are left to battle it out for the Champions League trophy this season.
After Arsenal were knocked out in the second semi-final by Paris Saint-Germain, they and Inter Milan will head to the Allianz Arena on May 31.
This season has seen plenty of high-scoring contests, such as Inter and Barcelona’s 4-3 thriller earlier this week. This has even put some players on the list for the most Champions League goals in a season - although this season’s top scorers do not top the list.
