The Paris Saint-Germain delegation landed in Budapest on Friday morning, trading Paris’s relentless heatwave for Hungary’s milder climate ahead of Saturday’s high-stakes Champions League final against Arsenal.

While temperatures soar across France, the PSG players will benefit from a more temperate environment in Budapest, where weather conditions appear tailor-made for top-tier football.

Clear skies and comfortable temperatures

Forecasts predict a peak of just 24°C on match day, ensuring the 22 players won’t be hindered by oppressive heat. With kickoff scheduled for 18:00 local time instead of the usual 21:00 slot, the game will unfold under overcast skies—though no precipitation is expected.

Upon arrival, the French squad was greeted by bright sunshine and temperatures hovering around 20°C. Training sessions are set to begin at 16:45, followed by Luis Enrique’s pre-match press conference at the Puskás Aréna.

PSG approaches this rematch with Arsenal in prime condition, fielding a fully fit squad. No absences were reported in Friday’s announced lineup, with previously sidelined players like Lucas Chevalier, Achraf Hakimi, and Ousmane Dembélé now available for selection.
