Overview
- The Champions League final will take place in Budapest on Saturday, with kickoff at 12 p.m. ET (5 p.m. local) at the Puskás Arena.
- PSG arrive largely fit with a 24-player travelling squad and positive training returns for Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi that leave Luis Enrique with full selection options.
- Arsenal face defensive absences: Ben White is ruled out with a knee problem and Jurrien Timber is doubtful as Mikel Arteta weighs late fitness decisions.
- The match is framed as attack versus defence: Arsenal are unbeaten with nine UCL clean sheets and six goals conceded in 14 games, while PSG lead the competition in scoring with high-margin knockout wins.
- Global broadcast plans are set, with CBS and Paramount+ carrying the game in the United States and TNT Sports via HBO Max available in the U.K., as both clubs finalise lineups and last training sessions before the final.
