Champions' path: How PSG and 1xBet returned to the center of football history

Paris Saint-Germain has secured back-to-back appearances in the Champions League final. On May 30, the French side will take on Arsenal in Budapest, marking the Gunners’ first final in two decades. PSG, meanwhile, is chasing history—seeking to become only the second club in the modern UCL era to successfully defend its crown, following Real Madrid’s remarkable three‑peat from 2016 to 2018.

From mid-table back to the top

PSG's season started without its usual glitz: 11th place in the league phase, followed by a drawn-out clash with AS Monaco at the start of the knockout phase. But then, Luis Enrique's side seemed to shift gears. Chelsea was routed 8-2 on aggregate, while Liverpool was thrashed 4-0. And finally, Bayern – in a match that won over neutral fans.

The first leg of the semifinal ended 5-4 in favor of the Parisians and was immediately hailed as the best game of the season.

Luis Enrique himself called it the best game of his coaching career, and the numbers back it up: PSG scored all five of their shots on target. A level of efficiency most teams can’t match.

In the return leg, PSG managed the game pragmatically in Munich and advanced, showing tactical flexibility and winning 6-5 on aggregate. Ousmane Dembélé's goal at 2:19 was the third-fastest in the UCL semifinal history and effectively sealed the tie.
