What happened
Fabrizio Romano confirmed Paris Saint-Germain have reached the UEFA Champions League final for the second consecutive season. The club advances past Bayern Munich in the semifinal tie to set up a Budapest final against Arsenal. Romano credited president Nasser Al Khelaifi, sporting advisor Luis Campos, manager Luis Enrique, and the squad for the run.
Why it matters
Back-to-back finals mark a structural shift for PSG, validating the post-Mbappé rebuild around Luis Enrique's system rather than star-led attacks. The matchup with Arsenal — who reached their first UCL final in 20 years — pits two clubs hunting their first European Cup. For PSG, a title would crown the Al Khelaifi-Campos era after a decade of semifinal exits and tabloid windows.
What to watch
Watch for the official Budapest final date confirmation and opening betting lines between PSG and Arsenal. PSG's Ligue 1 rotation and any late fitness updates on Dembélé and Doué will shape the closing stretch.
