Victor Wembanyama Backs PSG Over Arsenal In Budapest Final — Where Is Victor Wembanyama From
Victor Wembanyama backed PSG for the Champions League final and said Arsenal will not make it fun, adding a public jab that put the Spurs star into the middle of the buildup. The where is victor wembanyama from chatter often follows him, but this latest comment tied his name to a clear side before PSG meet Arsenal in Budapest later this month.
Wembanyama Backs PSG
“PSG of course, at least they’re going to make it fun, cause I know Arsenal ain’t,” Wembanyama said on Amazon Prime Sport. The line landed because it did more than pick a winner: it framed the final as a contrast between a team he expects to entertain and one he sees as less open in style.
That is the immediate hook around a final that already has an edge. PSG will face Arsenal in Budapest, and the French club reach it after knocking out Chelsea, Liverpool and Bayern Munich in the knockout rounds. Wembanyama’s remark adds one more voice to a matchup that has already been built around style as much as results.
Arsenal Reach Budapest
Arsenal arrived there by beating Atletico Madrid 1-0 on the night and 2-1 on aggregate on Tuesday, and they stayed unbeaten in the tournament for 14 games. That run is the friction point in Wembanyama’s comment: Arsenal have not lost in Europe this season, yet he still cast PSG as the side more likely to make the final lively.
PSG also carry recent history against Arsenal. Arsenal beat PSG home and away in the league phase, before PSG won the last four tie between the teams 12 months ago. The matchup has already swung both ways, which is why the final feels less like a clean rematch than a test of which version of each side shows up in Budapest.
Arteta And Gerrard
Mikel Arteta sounded certain Arsenal would handle the next step, saying, “It is what it is. We knew the level of the opposition that we had to face, either way, Bayern Munich or PSG. We know the quality that they have, and that's it. But obviously, we're also very confident that when we get to that moment, we're going to deliver what we need to.” Steven Gerrard, meanwhile, said Arsenal would go in as underdogs and urged them to use their physicality, their size, and their set pieces to make PSG uncomfortable.
That leaves Wembanyama’s comment sitting right where the final now is: with PSG backed by one high-profile voice, Arsenal carrying a 14-game unbeaten run, and both clubs already trading blows from the league phase to the knockout rounds. For anyone tracking the final, the clearest read is simple — this one already has a side, and Wembanyama made his public choice.
