Top 5 reasons to watch PSG v Arsenal | OneFootball

Here is our series. The 5 good reasons to watch a match. Before each game, we’ll look back at the appealing aspects with a mix of seriousness and humor. Mind you, this is not meant to be an exhaustive overview of the subject. We continue here with Paris Saint-Germain’s match this Saturday against Arsenal at the Puskas Arena in Budapest in the 2025-2026 Champions League final (kick-off 9 p.m., PSG/Arsenal broadcast on Canal+).

5. The end of the season.

This time, it’s PSG’s last match of the season, and more broadly the last one for the clubs overall. At least the World Cup is coming quickly, so we shouldn’t have too much time to get bored. Still, it’s a big Parisian break, a little over 2 months including the friendlies. We’re not used to it anymore, so we can’t be sure we’re ready.

4. Désiré Doué magnificent again?

Last season, when he was still only 19, Désiré Doué was voted player of the Champions League final. Even if he can sometimes be frustrating in his play, you have to admit he has special talent and no fear when it comes to the big occasions. We hope to see him confirm that once again on this special night.

3. A Ballon d’Or on the line?

Ousmane Dembélé, the 29-year-old PSG and France forward, could succeed himself for the Ballon d’Or. But he has some serious rivals, especially at PSG. Not to mention Arsenal, with a World Cup afterward that could also allow players to make a strong impression. In any case, a performance in this Champions League final could be decisive. Whether it is Dembélé or someone else, these are the nights that leave their mark on history.

2. A historic success either way.

We just mentioned it on an individual level, but it is even stronger collectively. Tonight’s winner will achieve something memorable: PSG could become only the second club in history to win the Champions League two years in a row (like Real Madrid, who made it 3 in 2017, 2018 and 2019), while Arsenal could win this competition for the first time. Either way, it will be a special moment for European football.

1. The Champions League final.

There is always context, elements that add extra spice, but the main thing really stands on its own. It is the final of one of the most prestigious competitions in world football. A night many dream of playing in, at the highest level. It has to be fully savored. Hopefully with a win, of course.
