"For the first time in European football history, France could have winners in both the men's and women's Champions League in the same season. Paris Saint-Germain will face Arsenal in the men's final, while OL Lyonnes take on Barcelona in the women's showpiece. It sets up a rare and potentially historic double for French football."
"Spanish teams became the most recent nation to achieve this feat in 2024, when Real Madrid won the men's Champions League and Barcelona lifted the women's trophy. German teams also completed the double in 2013, with Bayern Munich winning the men's competition and VfL Wolfsburg claiming the women's title."
"PSG arrive in the men's final as reigning European champions, having lifted the trophy in 2025, becoming the first French side to win the competition since Marseille in 1993. Back-to-back titles would cement their place as force of modern European football and potentially elevate this season into something far more significant for French football as a whole."
France stands on the brink of historic achievement in European football. PSG, the reigning men's Champions League holders, will face Arsenal in the men's final, while Lyon competes against Barcelona in the women's showpiece. This potential double would make France only the third nation to accomplish this feat, following Spain in 2024 and Germany in 2013. PSG previously reached both finals in 2020, losing to Bayern Munich in the men's competition but winning through Lyon's women's team. PSG's men seek back-to-back titles after winning in 2025, becoming France's first Champions League winner since Marseille in 1993. Lyon's women's team brings significant pedigree to their final.
