Paris Saint-Germain is stepping up their preparations in unorthodox ways, with the Champions League final against Arsenal firmly in their sights.
The highly anticipated showdown will take place on May 30 at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary. PSG’s latest training session revealed unconventional tactics as the French side gears up for the clash.
The coaching staff has implemented specialized drills for the goalkeepers, using collision pads to simulate the intense physical pressure expected inside the box—a key area where Arsenal thrives. During practice, the PSG keepers dealt with crosses while facing direct contact, as training staff members pushed them with padded tools to increase the challenge. This focused approach highlights the team’s emphasis on improving their handling of set-pieces, which are among Arsenal’s most dangerous weapons.
The drills are part of a broader plan led by Spanish coach Luis Enrique, who is determined to prepare his goalkeepers for the physical style employed by Mikel Arteta’s side, particularly during corners and aerial duels in the penalty area.
