The UEFA Champions League final will pit Paris Saint-Germain against Arsenal at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on Saturday for the 2025-26 edition.
PSG hold a narrow edge in prior encounters. Across five matches the French side has secured two victories, Arsenal one, with the remaining two finishing level.
PSG aim to become only the second club in the modern era to retain the trophy, following Real Madrid’s three consecutive wins from 2016 to 2018. The Parisians claimed the treble last season and have already won the French league this year, seeking another double.
The club has appeared in two previous finals, winning one and losing one. They fell 1-0 to Bayern Munich in 2019-20 but defeated Inter Milan 5-0 last season.
PSG face injury concerns. Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi are expected to recover, yet goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier is likely unavailable.
Arsenal enter with strong momentum after claiming their first Premier League title in 22 years. Under manager Mikel Arteta they target a first Champions League crown and a historic double.
Arsenal reached the final once before, losing 2-1 to Barcelona in 2005-06.
