Arsenal will face Paris Saint‑Germain in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League final, as the newly crowned Premier League champions prepare to take on the 2024/25 Champions League winners.
Speaking to the media ahead of the final, PSG manager Luis Enrique said winning last season’s Champions League was historic for the club, but lifting the trophy again would be even more special.
He also expressed strong respect for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta, admitting he was impressed by their consistency throughout the Premier League campaign.
Here is his statement:
Winning the UCL, it was historical last year for PSG. But winning it twice in a row
… that would be fantastic. It’s an extra motivation for us.
I’m not surprised to see Arsenal winning the Premier League.
Seven years under Arteta, excellent team, they’ve been the most consistent this year.”
Softfootball gathered, Enrique maintained that there is no clear favourite for the Champions League final, insisting PSG’s target is to continue proving they are one of the best teams in world football.
