This Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain faces Arsenal in the 2025-2026 Champions League final at the Puskás Arena in Budapest (kick-off at 6 p.m., CET). PSG and the city of Paris are currently working on possible celebrations with fans afterward. Le Parisien revealed some details this Thursday.
“This time, the Paris players will arrive on foot, not by bus, to face their fans.”
“As announced earlier this week, the potential public celebration, should Paris win the trophy, will indeed take place at the Champ de Mars. This time, the Paris players will arrive on foot, not by bus, to face their fans. Ousmane Dembélé, Marquinhos, and Désiré Doué, among others, will enter from the Joffre plateau, near the École Militaire, as well as via Avenue Risler, as revealed in a map published by the Friends of the Champ de Mars, a residents’ association, which Le Parisien has confirmed.
“The Iron Lady in all her majesty”
From there, the players will walk towards the Eiffel Tower, with the crowds lining the sides, but will stop before reaching it, in the center of the park, at Place Rueff. They will then take to a large platform with a pyrotechnic area to present the trophy to the public. With the majestic Eiffel Tower behind them. A powerful image that will go viral. That’s the whole point of this location for PSG.”
The Parisian newspaper certainly didn’t embark on such a project by chance; meetings are underway to finalize the program of festivities. This is logical; it shouldn’t be interpreted as PSG already having won. It’s simply about being ready in case of a victory. It would be unwise to leave everything to chance at the last minute.
Now, we naturally hope that this celebration can indeed take place. All without incident, even though we can already anticipate that the large crowd might lead to some disturbances. In particular, because some might take advantage of this large presence of supporters, while they themselves want to fully enjoy the moment.
