Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal are set to collide in one of the most anticipated Champions League finals in recent memory on Saturday evening in Budapest.
Bukayo Saka’s decisive strike against Atletico Madrid booked Arsenal’s place in their second-ever Champions League final and their first since the heartbreaking defeat to Barcelona in Paris back in 2006.
Standing in their way are reigning European champions PSG, who once again proved why they are considered one of the continent’s elite powers after edging past Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in a thrilling semi-final showdown.
This blockbuster clash is also a rematch of last season’s semi-finals, where Luis Enrique’s side defeated Arsenal 3-1 across two legs before eventually demolishing Inter Milan 5-0 in the final to secure the club’s first-ever Champions League trophy.

PSG vs Arsenal prediction
This final presents a fascinating tactical battle between two elite sides with very different identities.
Luis Enrique’s PSG are relentless in attack, fluid in possession and devastating in transition. Their fearless offensive philosophy overwhelmed Europe’s biggest clubs throughout the knockout rounds and they now stand on the brink of building a genuine Champions League dynasty.
Arsenal, meanwhile, arrive in Budapest unbeaten in this season’s competition. Mikel Arteta has transformed the Gunners into one of Europe’s most disciplined and tactically intelligent teams, blending defensive structure with ruthless efficiency in front of goal.
Still, PSG’s experience on this stage could prove decisive.
The French champions already know what it takes to win the biggest prize in club football, and that composure may ultimately separate the two sides in a high-pressure final.
Our prediction: PSG 2-1 Arsenal.
PSG vs Arsenal head-to-head record
The recent history between these clubs slightly favours PSG.
Last season, the Parisians defeated Arsenal 1-0 at the Emirates before securing a 2-1 victory in Paris to complete a 3-1 aggregate triumph in the Champions League semi-finals.
However, Arsenal did beat PSG 2-0 during the league phase back in October 2024.
The two sides also shared draws of 1-1 and 2-2 during the 2016/17 Champions League group stage campaign.
Their first major European meeting came in 1994, when Arsenal eliminated PSG in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup quarter-finals before eventually lifting the trophy.
