The Parisians continue to dominate domestically. In the 2025-2026 season, they missed out on only two tournaments they participated in: they lost the Club World Cup final in the summer and were eliminated from the French Cup in the winter. But they once again secured Ligue 1 ahead of schedule. The Londoners finished second in the Premier League three times in a row. This season, they were in contention for a “quadruple,” but in the spring, they were knocked out of both cups and lost their advantage over Manchester City in the league.
In the Champions League, the title holders did not start in the best way, earning only fourteen points in the main round and barely advancing past Monaco—3-2 in a comeback away win, 2-2 at home. But then came only victories over Chelsea and Liverpool, and Bayern managed to equalize at home in Munich only in the 90+ minute.
The English side became the first to win all eight matches in the main round. In the playoffs, all their opponents—Bayer, Sporting, and Atletico—were beaten by the same scenario: a draw in one match and a clean sheet win in the other.
Previous Matches: PSG vs Arsenal
In the Champions League, there have been five meetings between these giants, and a year ago, Luis Enrique pulled ahead—his team now has two wins and one loss.
The nominal hosts are considered favorites, though not overwhelming ones. But this is a decisive match, and no one will take unnecessary risks—so we predict “total under 3.0 goals” (odds – 1.60).
