Leinster and La Rochelle will renew rivalries one year on from their showdown in the 2022 final. La Rochelle upset the odds to claim their maiden title last year.
This is La Rochelle's third successive final appearance in the competition, while Leinster are the second most successful team in the tournament's history with five titles to their name.

La Rochelle were given a run for their money against unfavoured Gloucester in the Round of 16, but have sailed through the rounds without hassle since to set up a blockbuster grudge match final.
