PSG vs ARS Champions League Final LIVE: UCL takes over Norway Chess

Over at Oslo's Deichman Bjørvika, the gigantic public library where the fifth round of Norway Chess is taking place right now, five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen had an unusual request.

He walked into the confessional booth in the middle of his game against Wesley So and said that he would really like to have one of the screens in the playing hall display the Champions League final.

A massive sports nut, Carlsen is a known Real Madrid fan. So technically he should have no horse in today's race at Budapest. But his thoughts were on the Champions League final.

"There are two sets of screens in the playing hall on the stage showing my games. Wesley (So) may have to agree to it, but personally I would have no problem with it if one of the screens showing our game was replaced with PSG against Arsenal," said Carlsen with 20 minutes left for the start of the Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal.

Carlsen continued: "I polled a few people and I did not get any non-Arsenal fan that hopes that they win this match or anything in general."

Carlsen's visit to the confessional led to the TV2 broadcast commentators asking out aloud if Carlsen was focussed enough.

"Are you focused now, Magnus, or are you thinking about football? Magnus is very interested in football, but is that what you are thinking about now?" chess expert Maud Rødsmoen wondered.

Of course even if Wesley So had agreed to having the Champions League game shown on the screen in the playing hall, it would be tricky for the organisers to go ahead with this since games require pin-drop silence in the playing hall, which would be hard to ensure should a team score a goal.

PSG vs ARS Champions League Final LIVE: How Enrique had masterminded PSG's maiden UCL title

As the Paris Saint-Germain players held aloft their maiden UEFA Champions League trophy, their manager Luis Enrique stood behind, a little aside from the direct glare of the camera, with his hands high and emotions surging through his glistening face. In retrospect, it ultimately turned out that it was him who was the missing piece of the PSG puzzle—not Kylian Mbappe, not Lionel Messi or Neymar.

This PSG team, bereft of any so-called big names, fully embraced the philosophy of Enrique since he took over. They were cool, confident and collected even as they faced a more experienced outfit in the final, a far cry from the jittery performances we have come to expect from the Parisians when the lights are on bright.

There was no overreliance on a particular individual as PSG played like a well-knit outfit and thrashed Inter 5-0 with Enrique calmly orchestrating a coup on this fateful night at Munich. Ousmane Dembele, Vitinha pulled the creative strings while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué ran through the Italian team’s backline far too easily as the Nerazzurri were run ragged by the young Paris outfit.

PSG vs ARS Champions League Final LIVE: How Arteta helped Arsenal end PL drought

You could hear the chuckles in the newspaper headlines. As a reaction to their 8-2 humiliation by Manchester United, Arsenal had gone on a desperate trolley dash to buy any footballer available. One of the five players Arsene Wenger signed on transfer deadline day in 2011 almost did not make it. Paperwork delays meant there was no time for a medical. Arsenal were ready to give up on the signing.

The player rang the club himself. Forget the medical, he said. If something goes wrong, hold me responsible. Trust me.

Football clubs are not in the trust business, especially when they are about to spend millions on a footballer. Arsenal agreed anyway. That is how Mikel Arteta arrived at the club as a player. Fifteen years later, in a different role, he dragged them to their first Premier League title in 22 years. The theme connecting those two moments – separated by a career, a retirement, an apprenticeship under Pep Guardiola, and six increasingly agonising seasons in the dugout – is the same one he offered on day one. Trust. (READ MORE)

PSG vs ARS Champions League Final LIVE: Who is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia?

Apples and geniuses share an eternal bond. Issac Newton is said to have discovered the phenomenon of gravity by watching apples fall in an orchard. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia found the solution to an age-old inconvenience with the help of apples in his orchard. The ground, a converted farmland, he played during summers in his ancestral home in Tsalenjikha, Georgia, had an iron gate with sharp edges, resembling the head of a spear, on one side. His father, competent enough to play in Azerbaijan’s top league, warned him of the edges that had torn numerous footballs in his childhood. His son glanced around the ground, plucked a few apples and stuck those into the protruding spikes. (READ MORE)

PSG vs ARS Champions League Final LIVE: Why PSG holds a slender advantage over Arsenal

PSG’s fifth Ligue 1 title on the trot puts them a class apart, the gulf between them and the rest big enough for manager Luis Enrique to rest key players but still win silverware.

For example, Ligue 1’s player of the year, forward Ousmane Dembele, played just 11 matches, while Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka featured in 25 games. Saka was on the field for 2,226 minutes while Dembele played for just 1,063 minutes. Dembele had started just nine league matches when he was adjudged the best in the season.

PSG’s Warren Zaïre-Emery played 27 matches, the most for the side. But seven of Arsenal’s likely starting XI for the final have played more matches than him with Martín Zubimendi (34) and Declan Rice (35) topping the chart. Overall, Arsenal’s likely starting 11 has accumulated 10,343 more minutes than PSG’s. (READ MORE)

In a welcome relief to people watching in India, the UEFA Champions League final is being played at a comfortable time for them i.e. 9.30 PM IST instead of the regular slot of 12.30 AM. “The decision is designed to enhance the overall matchday experience for fans, teams and host cities by optimising logistics and operations, while delivering several tangible benefits. Our goal is to make matchday a truly enjoyable experience for everyone who wants to be part of the excitement, while creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy for families and children to attend the biggest and most important club football match of the season,” UEFA said last August.

The decision as UEFA explains has been taken while keeping the travelling fans in mind, it also indirectly benefits the Asian continent as well, where there is a huge following for the club football’s biggest tournament. “The new kick-off time also aligns with a more accessible broadcasting window, helping the final reach an even broader television and digital audience worldwide, with a particular focus on engaging younger viewers,” the UEFA said in a statement.
