Super Liga Qualification Overview

Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique has offered a surprisingly candid assessment of his side's Champions League final victory, claiming neither the Parisians nor Arsenal truly deserved to win the match. The French giants successfully defended their European crown in Budapest, triumphing 4-3 in a penalty shootout after a cagey 1-1 draw over 120 minutes.

With the Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo duopoly presumably disappearing into the rearview mirror, the battle for the Ballon d'Or hasn't felt so open for the best part of 20 years, with countless players now beginning each campaign believing they have a chance of claiming the most prestigious individual prize football has to offer. Ousmane Dembele emerged from a career plagued by injuries and inconsistencies to win the Golden Ball in 2025, and he is among a crowded field of contenders again in 2026.

Paris Saint-Germain have done it again! A club once derided as the biggest bottlers in the Champions League showed their mettle by edging out Arsenal 4-3 on penalties, after a 1-1 draw in Budapest, to deservedly retain their European crown on Saturday. Unlike last year's rout of Inter, PSG had to dig deep to defeat the Gunners, who proved an unsurprisingly tough nut to crack after taking an early lead through Kai Havertz following a fortuitous break of the ball.

Mikel Arteta has called on the Arsenal board to be "very ambitious" in the upcoming transfer window as the Gunners look to move past the heartbreak of their Champions League final defeat. Despite securing a historic Premier League title this season, the north London side fell just short in Budapest, losing 4-3 on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain - a team the Arsenal boss conceded are the "best in the world."
