This Saturday at 6pm (CET) Paris Saint-Germain will face Arsenal at the Puskas Arena in Budapest in the final of the 2025-2026 Champions League. In a press conference, Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka (24) spoke about the upcoming match and their Parisian opponents.
Saka: “We have enough firepower for this game.”
“We know the club’s history, and we know that tomorrow we have the opportunity to make history by winning this title for the first time as players. That alone is a huge source of motivation for us. We have enough firepower for this game.”
Saka: “I believe it will be won by the best-organized team.”
The pressure?
“I don’t think about it too much. That’s just how I am. I try to enjoy it, focus on the present moment, and stay in the moment. I leave the rest in God’s hands.”
“We’ve had a week to recover and prepare for this game. A game like this won’t be decided in a few minutes.” “It will be decided by key moments and a bit of quality, and I believe it will be won by the best-organized team.”
Bukayo Saka offers another perspective on this confidence: the connection with the fans. While Ødegaard emphasizes the team’s liberation, Saka places the final within Arsenal’s recent history, marked by expectations, frustrations, and the need to reconnect permanently with great European nights.
This statement reinforces the idea of a club driven by a strong collective energy. Arsenal doesn’t just want to beat PSG. The Gunners want to place this generation within a broader narrative, that of a team that has brought the club back to the top after years of rebuilding. This is precisely what makes their confidence so evident.
