Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain will meet in Saturday’s Champions League final, where supporters plan to compete through their anthems at Budapest’s Puskás Aréna. PSG fans intend to sing their club’s chant “Tous ensemble on chantera,” created by ultras. Arsenal supporters will perform the chorus from “The Angel (North London Forever),” a 2022 song by local musician Louis Dunford that honors the Islington district and its football grounds. The track gained popularity among the club’s followers after its release. PSG’s anthem emphasizes loyalty amid past difficulties on and off the pitch, featuring a steady drumbeat and lyrics about enduring setbacks. The ultras developed it after returning to Parc des Princes. In contrast, Arsenal’s song includes local slang and references to neighborhood life. The team recently used it to mark a league title win. PSG has secured multiple domestic championships but achieved its first European title only last year. Earlier decades brought challenges for the club, including fan violence and near-relegation. Following its 2011 acquisition by Qatari investors, the side invested heavily yet waited until 2023 for continental success under its current coach. Both managers share Spanish backgrounds and prior playing experience in top leagues. A victory for Arsenal would mark the club’s first European title.
