Watch PSG vs Arsenal live streams in the Champions League Final 2026 as, for the second straight season, the continent's outstanding defensive team stands between Luis Enrique's effervescent side and the European crown. Mikel Arteta, however, will have pored over the tapes to ensure the Gunners don't suffer the same mortifying 5-0 fate that befell Inter 12 months ago.
PSG are two goals away from breaking Barcelona's all-time single-season record of 45, which has stood since 1999/00. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has hit 10 of those, including seven in the knockouts, plus a further six assists, and the Georgian's focus for silverware will be sharpened by missing out on the 2026 World Cup.
Boss Enrique has spent much of the buildup to Saturday's game talking up the defending champions' opponents. The two coaches are friends and (briefly) former Barcelona teammates, but the platitudes also have something to do with Arteta's insistence, after PSG eliminated Arsenal in the 2024/25 semifinals, that the best team had lost. Enrique responded first with a hearty chuckle, then a literal jaw-drop, that day.
If the Gunners are to claim a first UCL title, they will rely on center-backs William Saliba and Gabriel, plus David Raya in goal. The Spanish custodian was integral to Arsenal's first Premier League triumph in 22 years, and he's conceded the fewest goals in the Champions League this season. Twenty years on from their sole previous final appearance – a 2-1 defeat by Barcelona that featured an 18th-minute Jens Lehmann red card – can Arteta's defense-first, control philosophy unpick Europe's most vibrant attack?
