31' The good news is Matvei Safonov is okay to continue. PSG continue to try and find an opening, but they still haven't managed a shot on target. Nuno Mendes goes down in the Arsenal box, and there's a momentary injury scare again, but the Portuguese left-back gets up soon after.

PSG 0-1 ARS

26' A good move by Arsenal, with Bukayo Saka at the heart of it. Saka with some silky stepovers on the right wing, and then he whips in a low cross into the box. PSG goalkeeper Safonov comes out to parry the ball, but he looks to have hurt his head doing so.

The Russian goalkeeper is receiving treatment now, with the concussion protocols needing to be followed.

PSG 0-1 ARS

23' Time for a water break as we reach halfway point in the first half of the Champions League final in Budapest. PSG have enjoyed 65% possession, but Arsenal's strong defence has not allowed them a single big chance yet.

PSG 0-1 ARS

15' PSG are now enjoying more of the ball and looking to find a way in, but it's proving to be difficult against a really strong Arsenal defence. Achraf Hakimi has a run down the right, wins a corner, Dembele swings in the dead-ball but Arsenal clear with ease.

PSG 0-1 ARS

6' GOAL! Arsenal take the lead in the Champions League final! Kai Havertz is sent through by Leandro Trossard on the left side, the German striker takes the shot from a tough angle, but he squeezes it in past PSG goalkeeper Safonov! What a start for the Gunners.

PSG 0-1 ARS

1' We are LIVE! The Champions League final is underway, with Arsenal attacking from left to right. An early foul on the Arsenal left-wing, with Achraf Hakimi bringing down Leandro Trossard. Time for a ball into the box!

Declan Rice floats it in, but no danger from it.

PSG 0-0 ARS

The players are here, the match is about to start! The Champions League anthem rings around the stadium. We are moments away from action.

We are just about 10 minutes away from kick-off at the Puskas Arena in Hungary. A huge crowd is expected for the biggest match in club football! Grab your popcorn folks, action is about to start.

This match has been touted as a battle between fire and ice. PSG's vibrant attack against Arsenal's rock-solid defence is the contest that everyone is looking forward to. 

However, the two aspects contribute heavily in the other department too! The likes of Dembele and Kvaratskhelia are superb pressers, starting the PSG defence from attack. Arsenal centre-backs William Saliba and Gabriel are huge threats in the opposition box!

Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been one of the best players in the Champions League this season. He is PSG's top-scorer in the 2025-26 season, with 10 goals. Ousmane Dembele, the Ballon d'Or winner, is not far behind with seven strikes!

Mikel Arteta's call to bench Viktor Gyokeres and start Kai Havertz will certainly raise eyebrows. Arsenal's big-money summer signing will come off the bench tonight. It is interesting that Arsenal are starting without their two top-scorers in the UCL this season: Gabriel Martinelli (6 goals) and Gyokeres (5).

Paris Saint-Germain are looking to do what only one club has done in the Champions League era -- win the title back-to-back. Only Real Madrid have done it in recent history. After winning the Champions League for the first time in 2025, Luis Enrique's side will be fresh and geared up to make club history again.

Arsenal are playing the Champions League final after 20 years! The last time they played was in 2006, back when the manager was Arsene Wenger and the star player was Thierry Henry. That time, Arsenal lost 2-1. Can Arteta guide them to European Cup glory for the first time in their history?

PSG XI vs Arsenal: Apart from the goalkeeper, Luis Enrique has named an exact same starting lineup as the 2025 Champions League final. A dangerous front three of Kvaratskhelia, Dembele and Desire Doue!
