🎧 185 | Arsenal v PSG : Champions League Final Preview

Arsenal v PSG — Champions League Final Preview from Budapest :

Episode 185 is a special one — Tabs and Ian are together in person in Budapest, recording from their apartment on the eve of the biggest club game in Arsenal’s history. After a week of Premier League title celebrations, trophy lifts, content overload and emotional burnout, attention finally turns to Saturday’s Champions League final against Paris Saint‑Germain.

The pair talk through:

• the surreal travel routes that somehow led them to arrive at the exact same time

• the privilege of being among the lucky few with tickets

• memories of the 2006 final and how painful it still is

• last year’s PSG semi‑final and why the tie was closer than people remember

• how different Arsenal are now compared to that injury‑ravaged squad

• the matchup: best attack in Europe vs best defence in Europe

• how Arsenal might approach the game — Premier League Arsenal or Champions League Arsenal

• the lineup debate: Timber or Mosquera? Zubimendi or MLS? Odegaard guaranteed?

• the nerves, the excitement, the disbelief

• the simple joy of just being there for a moment like this

This is a warm, funny, slightly chaotic, deeply emotional episode — two Arsenal fans in Budapest, soaking in the moment, trying to process the scale of what’s about to happen.

Arsenal. PSG. Budapest.The Champions League final.It doesn’t get bigger.
