NBA sensation Victor Wembanyama has made his Champions League allegiance crystal clear—and Arsenal fans won't be happy about it. The 7-foot-4 San Antonio Spurs star, fresh off a 39-point performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves, didn't hold back when asked who he's backing in this year's UEFA Champions League final.
Speaking to Prime Video after his latest NBA masterclass, the French phenom was quick to shut down any debate. When a host playfully asked if he preferred PSG or Arsenal for the final, Wembanyama's response was immediate and emphatic: "PSG, of course! At least PSG will make the final spectacular, because I know Arsenal won't."
The jab at Arsenal's playing style is a bold one, especially given the Gunners' recent criticism for their pragmatic approach this season. In contrast, PSG have been thrilling fans with high-scoring affairs, including their unforgettable 5-4 semifinal first-leg victory over Bayern Munich—a match that's already etched in Champions League history.
Wembanyama, a lifelong Paris Saint-Germain supporter, didn't stop there. When the host tried to build up French sophistication—taste, art, architecture, food, wine—Wembanyama cut in with a grin: "And I'm no exception."
For PSG, heading into their second consecutive Champions League final, having a global superstar like Wembanyama in their corner is a major boost. For Arsenal fans, it's a reminder that style points matter—even from across the Atlantic.
