Arsenal vs PSG LIVE Score, UEFA Champions League 2026: Is this finally Arsenal's year? One of the most popular clubs in the world, there remains one massive gap in their trophy cabinet – shaped like the Big Ears, the UEFA Champions League trophy.

But between them and their moment stands a titanic Paris Saint-Germain side, one which has been hammering goals for fun right through the knockout stage, and enters with the intention of defending their title.

But equally, Arsenal have just the tools to pull off the upset against PSG, and are designed to come out on top in the scrappy kind of games that big finals can often produce.
