Eberechi Eze said Arsenal are ready to try to finish their season with the Champions League trophy when they face PSG in Budapest on Saturday, calling the final a chance the club must seize. Speaking this week, he said the players are “just another group of people” with the opportunity to win it and added, “I pray that we take it.”
The timing matters because Arsenal arrive in Hungary as Premier League champions for the first time in more than two decades, with Eze describing that success as “special” while making clear the European final is a different test. The one-off game now offers a direct answer to a season that has already delivered one title and a chance at a bigger one. For readers searching for saka, it is the latest sign of how seriously Arsenal are treating the final and how firmly Eze believes they can rise to it.
Eze’s remarks carried the kind of lift clubs usually reserve for a final week. He said, “When we do, it will be a special moment for sure,” a line that lands with more weight because Arsenal have already broken a long domestic drought. The Premier League trophy was on show at Royal Russell School in south London this week as part of the fourth annual Eze Foundation Invitational, where the Arsenal-coloured ribbons made the trophy feel less like a prop and more like a reminder of what the squad has already done.
That setting also connected this moment to where Eze has been before. A year earlier, he was at Crystal Palace holding his Invitational after scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup final to secure Palace’s first major trophy. This week, he returned with a different shirt, a different trophy and a bigger stage ahead of him, even if the task in front of Arsenal is still the harder one to judge.
There is still one thing the title run cannot answer for Arsenal: whether being Premier League champions will be enough to beat PSG in a Champions League final. Eze said he is grateful to God for the chance to play in such competitions and stressed that he wants to win everything he can, but Budapest will settle the only question that matters now. Arsenal and PSG meet on Saturday, and the club’s season will either gain its defining European victory or end with the sharper kind of near miss.
