According to Opta's supercomputer analysis, PSG holds a higher probability of retaining the Champions League crown compared to Arsenal, yet the margin between them remains relatively small.
The 2025/26 Champions League final between Arsenal and PSG is heating up day by day as the latest statistics from Opta indicate that the French representative is slightly favored in the race for the prestigious silver trophy.
Based on simulated data from Opta's supercomputer, PSG has a 43.5% chance of securing victory within regular 90 minutes of play. Meanwhile, Arsenal's win probability stands at only 29.7%. The remaining 26.8% accounts for the possibility that the match will go into extra time or a penalty shootout to decide the winner.
These figures partly reflect PSG's standing heading into the match. Luis Enrique's side is not only the reigning Champions League champion but also has the opportunity to become the first club outside Real Madrid to successfully defend the title in the modern Champions League era.
On their path to the final, PSG has continued to demonstrate the terrifying strength of their attack, scoring 44 goals. This is the second-highest total in the competition's history, trailing only the record of 45 goals set by Barcelona in the 1999/2000 season.
One of PSG's most outstanding performers is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian star is having an explosive season, contributing to 10 goals in the Champions League knockout stages—7 goals and 3 assists. He has also become the first player in history to score or assist in 7 consecutive knockout matches within a single campaign.
However, Arsenal is not a team to be underestimated. Mikel Arteta's squad enters the match with immense confidence after ending their 22-year Premier League title drought.
Unlike PSG, Arsenal's success this season is built on a solid defensive foundation. The Gunners have conceded only 6 goals in 14 Champions League games, the best record in the competition. The duo of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes form one of Europe's most formidable defensive partnerships.
Furthermore, Arsenal is the only team that has not conceded a single goal from open play in this season's Champions League knockout stages. This highlights the incredible discipline and stability of the London club.
Opta also points out that the team scoring first has won all of the last 11 Champions League finals. Therefore, the opening goal could prove to be the decisive turning point in Budapest.
According to the schedule, the 2025/26 Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal will kick off at 23:00 on May 30 (Vietnam time) at the Puskás Aréna.
