Champions League Final 2025-26: What happened the last time Arsenal and PSG clashed in the Champions League?

Arsenal and Paris Saint German will lock horns in the UEFA Champions League Final at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on May 30.

PSG, coming on the back of winning the Ligue 1 for the 14th time, will be looking to emulate its achievement from the 2024-25 season when the Paris based team became Champions League winners for the first time after defeating Inter Milan.

The Gunners on the other hand, which ended its 22-year long wait for a Premier League Trophy, will be aiming to win its first Champions League Title to cap off a memorable season with the prestigious double.

The two sides last faced off against each other was in the second leg of semifinals of the 2024-25 season, where PSG defeated Arsenal 2-1 to progress to the final. Goals from Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi helped the Parisiens add onto the 1-0 advantage from the first leg and secure a spot in the summit clash against Inter Milan.

Here are the excerpts from the report.

Paris Saint-Germain clinched a place in the Champions League final as goals by Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi gave it a 2-1 win over Arsenal in the second leg of their last-four tie on Wednesday, securing a 3-1 aggregate triumph.

Ruiz crashed in a shot from the edge of the area in the 27th minute at the Parc des Princes to leave PSG firmly in the driving seat after it had withstood an early bombardment from the visitors.

Hakimi put the tie beyond Arsenal when he scored in the 72nd minute, even if Bukayo Saka did then pull one back for Arsenal.
