PSG crowned UEFA Champions League champions

Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal meet at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest today, May 30, 2026, for the UEFA Champions League final. The match pits the defending champions against the newly crowned English Premier League winners.
Seeking to become only the second team in the modern era to retain the trophy, PSG faces an Arsenal side riding an historic wave. The Gunners pursue their first-ever Champions League title after a 20-year wait.
Tactical contrasts define the clash, with PSG boasting a competition-high 44 goals while Arsenal’s defense has conceded just six. Forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains a significant threat, while Arsenal relies on defensive discipline and set-piece efficiency.
"No favourites," PSG coach Luis Enrique said. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged the difficulty, as the London club looks to cap their greatest season by winning the prestigious European trophy for the first time.
A victory would cement PSG's status among Europe's elite, matching Real Madrid's 2016-2018 achievement. Conversely, Arsenal seeks to surpass the legacy of Arsene Wenger’s 'Invincibles' and finally conquer the continent on Europe's grandest stage.
