To wrap up football for the 2025/26 season, PSG will take on Arsenal in what promises to be a blockbuster final
The UEFA Champions League final is one of football’s most anticipated events. It is the biggest final in club football and this season, PSG and Arsenal will battle for the trophy.
Returning to a familiar setting where they beat Inter Milan 5-0 to lift their first-ever UCL trophy, PSG have a chance to be the first team since Real Madrid to win the trophy back-to-back times.
PSG have stormed their way to the final once again, failing to score in only one game. Since the knockout rounds, Kvaratskhelia has lit up the scene, scoring or assisting as they breezed past opponents.
Last season, Ousmane Dembele was the X-factor. This season, Kvaratskhelia seems like the player to get them over the line and lift the trophy.

Arsenal won’t be an easy task for PSG. Fresh off winning the Premier League trophy for the first time in 22 years, Arsenal have a renewed belief that the squad can be champions.
The Gunners have been the best team in the Champions League so far. They haven’t lost a single game and they’ve kept the most clean sheets en route to the final.
Arsenal are once again in the Champions League final, and for the first time since 2006. Will they make history and lift the trophy after appearing in the final for the first time in two years?
90 minutes in Budapest will tell.
