📋 PSG and Arsenal name teams for the UCL final | OneFootball

It’s time!

Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal face off this Saturday (30) in the grand final of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League.

The ball starts rolling at the Puskás Arena in Budapest, Hungary, from 1 p.m.

One of UEFA’s new features this season was moving the final kickoff time forward by three hours compared to previous editions.

The match will be broadcast live on free-to-air TV by SBT, on cable by TNT, and via streaming on HBO Max, but you can follow everything in real time here on OneFootball — just click the card above!

The finalists’ paths

Both teams come into the final crowned as champions of their respective domestic leagues, but they had very different journeys in the continental tournament.

Arsenal

The team with the best record in the league phase, with a perfect campaign (eight wins, 23 goals scored and four conceded).

In the knockout stage, Mikel Arteta’s side eliminated Bayer Leverkusen (round of 16), Sporting (quarter-finals) and Atlético de Madrid (semi-finals). The team arrives on a high after ending a 22-year wait to win the Premier League.

PSG

The reigning French champions and French Super Cup winners had a longer road. As they did not qualify directly from the league phase, they had to come through the playoffs against Monaco.

Then, in the knockout rounds, they got past Chelsea, Liverpool and Bayern Munich — the latter in a historic, goal-filled semi-final.

Back-to-back title chase vs. an unprecedented dream

The clash pits two historic ambitions against each other.

Paris Saint-Germain are chasing a second straight title. The current holders of the "Big Ears," the French club won their first title last season by thrashing Inter Milan 5-0.

Coach Luis Enrique is counting on the brilliance of Georgian star Kvaratskhelia and the leadership of Brazilian centre-back Marquinhos to keep the trophy in Paris.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are chasing a first-ever title in their rich history.

The only time the Gunners had gone this far before was in the 2005/06 season, when they were beaten by Barcelona.

Under Arteta’s guidance, the team is banking on the talent of Bukayo Saka and the goals of Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres, who is playing in Budapest with a special feeling, as his family has Hungarian roots.

Lineups

PSG: Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; João Neves, Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz; Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia.

Coach: Luis Enrique.

Arsenal: David Raya; Mosquera, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Hincapié; Lewis-Skelly, Declan Rice; Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, Leandro Trossard; Havertz.

Coach: Mikel Arteta.
