Press review: PSG v Arsenal in Champions League final, special time | OneFootball

This Friday, May 8, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on the qualification secured for the 2025-2026 Champions League final on May 30 against Arsenal. It will take place in Budapest, with a historic 6 p.m. kick-off (broadcast on M6 and Canal+).

L’Equipe –

PSG will play a second consecutive final and are naturally aiming for the title, but it is important to keep in mind that this will be different from last season. The demonstration against Inter Milan will be very difficult to reproduce. Arsenal have a less spectacular style than the Parisians, but they remain a very difficult team to face.

There will also be a different kick-off time, which is historic. This shift from 9 p.m. to 6 p.m. is meant to “make matchday a truly enjoyable experience, while also creating a warm atmosphere that allows families and children to attend easily,” UEFA had written. There is also the benefit for worldwide broadcasting. In any case, the teams should be able to adapt well and deliver a great football match.

PSG are expected to show great determination once again, along with a certain collective strength. Paris have the qualities needed to come out on top, while knowing that Arsenal will, of course, have their say as well.
