Coach Mikel Arteta has instead chosen to start the final at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary, with Kai Havertz leading the London club's lineup.

It has been 20 years since Sweden was represented in a men's final. The last time was 2006, when Henrik Larsson scored for Barcelona against Fredrik Ljungberg's Arsenal.

The final starts at 6:00 p.m. local time.
