What happened
Paris Saint-Germain have officially booked their place in the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League final, advancing past Bayern Munich in the semi-final tie. They will face Arsenal, who reached the final for the first time in 20 years, in Budapest. It is PSG's second consecutive Champions League final appearance.
Why it matters
Back-to-back finals mark a sustained European peak for the project led by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Luis Campos and Luis Enrique. For Arsenal, the matchup is a generational opportunity; for PSG, it is a chance to defend continental status against a Premier League side rather than repeat last year's path. The all-attacking pairing sets up one of the most anticipated finals in recent memory.
What to watch
Attention turns to lineup availability and refereeing review after disputed handball calls in the Bayern leg. Final date and team news from both camps will dominate the build-up.
