Arsenal v PSG - Champions League final 2026 - Budapest

Arteta simply needs to tell them to play like Newcastle.

Should be a good game.

Good luck arsenal.

Play like Newcastle? Do you think that Newcastle would have a chance against PSG in a knockout game?  C'mon man.

In a Champions League final things might be different. PSG will be the absolute favourite and there were occasions where this kind of pressure can really kick in, think of Man City vs Inter a few years back

PSG are an exceptional team. Arsenal beat them comfortably in the league stage last season, but PSG went up gears 2nd half of the season. In the semi last season, Rice/Partey messed up for PSG's early goal at the emirates and although Arsenal gave them a game for 20mins in the 2nd leg, they were comprehensively beaten. Last night we saw how well PSG can defend. Not sure how Arteta can approach this game other than defensively and hope PSG misfire on the night. That looks a tall order though and PSG to lift the cup is a solid bet for sure.

surprised when i saw PSG at 2.38 on here- expected them to be shorter. i backed them in the outrights some time ago so hoping they win it.

Yeah, I laid Arsenal when they were favs @ 3.45 mid-March and various prices up to 3.7. Seemed crazy short to me, I guess the price factored in the favourable draw winning all matches in the league stage, secured them. Of course, I want them to win, but the bets are big enough to help overcome any disappointment. I just hope they turn up and perform on the night, there have been a few teams who completely blew the final in recent memory.

I think 5/4 for PSG is generous. I took 11/4 prior to their encounter against Bayern Munich. I think they're more superior than Arsenal. If they turn up on the night and reproduce their present form they will be too strong for Arsenal. Nonetheless, I can still remember vividly they did not in an important tournament last season.

I will collect £18416 on PSG, £1700 double , earlier in the season, PSG at 11/2

I hope PSG obliges for you then 'roadrunner46'. A lot of bottle plus luck to find a bookie willing to accommodate your stake.

Only three shops to get the bets on, did have to bet in £100 and £200 bets to get past the traders on the betfred machines

Beep Beep emerges yet again

just heard a stat that Arsenal have lost their last 4 european cup finals, cup winners cup, uefa/europa, champions league, chasing Benfica's record of 8 lost finals in row!

Arsenal need to get in their faces and put pressure on them on the ball, they make mistakes when you do that. Polar opposite to how they've played this and last season. Can't see Arteta doing that.

PSG's finishing has been out of this world this and last season and was too good for Arsenal last time. They are rightly favs but Arsenal were missing Gabriel for both legs and had Merino/Trossard starting up top last season. Doubts over Dembele and Hakimi who may not be fully fit for 90 mins.

Arsenal beat PSG comfortably in the league stage last season. In the 1st semi unfortunately gifted them a goal after 4 mins in the 1st leg when Partey and Rice both left a ball to each other. Gave them a decent game in the 2nd leg of the semi and were on top for 25 mins or so. Gabriel was a huge miss and injuries meant Kiwior & Lewis-Skelly played on the left both legs.

PSG look just as good this season, whereas Arsenal seem to play with the handbrake on nowadays. Obviously want to win, but just hoping we turn up in top form on the night and give it a go, so no regrets.

why do people make another thread on this when one's already made lol, now opinions are spread across two threads

You're not wrong Susquehanna...
