Arsenal vs PSG head-to-head record plus last match result ahead of Champions League final

Arsenal will meet Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest at the end of the month.

The Gunners secured their spot in the showpiece event for just the second time in their history with a 2-1 aggregate win over La Liga side Atletico Madrid.

The pair played out a 1-1 draw in Madrid last week, Julian Alvarez’s second half penalty cancelling out Viktor Gyokeres’ spotkick on the stroke of half time at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Bukayo Saka scored the decisive goal at the Emirates on Tuesday night to book Arsenal’s trip to Budapest.

And they’ll take on defending European champions PSG at the Puskas Arena on Saturday 30 May.

The Parisian powerhouse claimed a first leg advantage at the Parc des Princes, edging out Bayern Munich in a nine-goal thriller last week.

Luis Enrique’s side finished the job on Wednesday as they battled to a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena.

Harry Kane’s late strike cancelled out Ousmane Dembele’s opener to set up a tense finish in Munich but PSG held out to secure a final spot with a 6-5 aggregate triumph.

Arsenal vs PSG H2H record

And if the head-to-head meetings are anything to go by, then we should be in for a balanced encounter in Hungary.

Indeed, of the seven meetings between Arsenal and PSG, each side has won twice, while there have been a further three draws.

The two teams first met in the semi-finals of the 1993-94 Cup Winners’ Cup.

The Gunners made the short trip across the channel to Paris to play out a 1-1 draw after Ian Wright fired Arsenal ahead.

David Ginola drew PSG level five minutes into the second half.

In the second leg at Highbury, Kevin Campbell’s seventh-minute strike was enough to separate the two teams as Arsenal claimed a 1-0 win on the night and a 2-1 aggregate victory.

Arsenal went the distance in Europe that season, defeating Italian side Parma 1-0 in Copenhagen to claim their only piece of continental silverware to date.

It would be 22 years before Arsenal and PSG would lock horns again after they were drawn in the same group of the 2016-17 Champions League, where they played out a 1-1 draw in Paris on matchday one.

Edinson Cavani fired PSG into an early lead before Alexis Sanchez restored parity with 13 minutes to play.

Marco Verratti and Olivier Giround both saw red late on in a feisty clash in Paris.

And the spoils were shared in the reverse fixture as the duo looked to progress to the next round of the competition as Group A winners.

Cavani again scored the opener only for Giroud to fire the Gunners level from the spot.

Verratti inadvertently scored past then-PSG shotstopper Alphonse Areola on the hour mark.

Alex Iwobi then returned the favour in the 77th minute in an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Emirates.

The Times

Arsenal’s second ever win over PSG again came on home turf, this time in the League Phase of the 2024-25 Champions League campaign as first half goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka wrapped up a 2-0 home triumph.

However, while Arsenal won that battle, the Gunners ultimately lost the war.

Arsenal and PSG would meet again in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, and it was Luis Enrique’s side that came out on top.

2025 Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele scored the only goal of the game as PSG claimed a semi-final first leg advantage at Arsenal.

And they finished the job in front of their fans as Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi netted either side of half time at the Parc des Princes.

Saka bagged a late consolation to save face in a 2-1 loss on the night but Arsenal crashed out of the Champions League 3-1 on aggregate.

PSG would go on to win the Champions League last May, breezing past Italian giants Inter Milan in Munich as goals from Hakimi, Desire Doue – twice – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu wrapped up a resounding 5-0 win.

The French giants will hope to go the distance once more when they take on Arsenal at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on May 30, with the 2025-26 Champions League final kicking off at 17:00 GMT.

And Arsenal fans may have to pay top dollar to watch their team in action owing to a hotel plot orchestrated by Tottenham supporters.
