You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Budapest is on edge tonight as police make arrests and comb through CCTV footage following violent clashes between supporters ahead of Saturday's Champions League final. Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain meet in Hungary, and the scenes before a ball is even kicked have already cast a shadow over what should be one of football's great occasions.
Speaking of that final, Bukayo Saka is sending a clear message to PSG — fatigue is not Arsenal's concern. Despite logging significantly more minutes than their French opponents this season, Saka says the Gunners are locked in and ready, insisting it is moments, not minutes, that will settle the tie. Meanwhile, PSG manager Luis Enrique has confirmed that Achraf Hakimi is fit to start after recovering from a thigh injury, giving the Parisians a major boost at right back heading into the biggest match of their season.
And over in the IPL playoffs, Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudharsan has made history nobody wants — becoming the first batter ever dismissed hit-wicket in back-to-back matches. First against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, then against Rajasthan Royals, almost identical dismissals. Sudharsan's own response? Quote — I need some grip tech. Honestly, fair enough.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
