I know TNT has the rights, but I'm not subscribing for a year to watch one game.
Does anyone know if I'll be able watch it on my now tv entertainment subscription with HBO max?
Or if I can pay for it anywhere as a one off?? |

"However, UK rights holder TNT Sports (owned by Warner Bros Discovery) has confirmed that this year, viewers will only be able to watch the clash at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on Saturday 30 May on either its own platform or HBO Max, both requiring a subscription." |

"Just arrived at my hotel in Vienna… have I missed anything?  I'm not at all jealous
Hope you have an amazing time, what's the atmosphere like there?"
The answer is loads in and around the hotel bar!! 
Okay… football talk time!
So.. in my head 5 nailed on starters! Raya, Gabriel, Saliba, Rice and Saka …. Timber starts at RB and see how long you get out of him.. 60 would be brilliant!
So.. 5 decisions?
LB… Calafiori or Hincapie
next to Rice… Zubi or MLS
10… odegaard or Eze
LW…. Leo or Martinelli
Up top… Kai or Viktor

I'm not going to guess gonna put my trust and faith in whatever Arteta chooses, although I'd like Eze to have a good match.
I think I'm more nervous than when I got married  |

Not quite… yes HBO max is free on sky but the TNT sports streaming bit requires a subscription

I watched the Palace final last Wednesday. The 3 European finals were free with HBO max and if a sky subscriber as i am,then there is no extra charge.

I've got Virgin with Sky Sports. My mate signs in to my account on Virgin Go to watch Prem League footy on his laptop. I dont have TNT on my account but I assume he'd be able to watch that too if I did.
Do you not have anyone who has TNT and will let you sign into their Virgin Go account? It just needs an email verification.
Either that or trawl Twitter/X to see if there are any streams. The TV companies have made a good job of closing them down this season mind, up until then all the games were available online.

. I don’t have any subscription tv just freeview. I maybe going to family or friends to watch it but only if I am invited I don’t turn up unannounced. If no one invites me no problem I will listen to the radio commentary and watch the highlights tonight on BBC1 at 10.20. |

I thought we were smart staying in Vienna… the train station this morning felt more like King’s Cross!! lol
Our train was absolutely packed with arsenal fans! I expect the stadium to be 70/30 arsenal fans |

"I hate making match predictions but I have a really good feeling about today, ut certainly not getting over confident PSG are about as far as you can get from an easy opponent. "
. I fancy PSG to win 2-0 Kvaratskhelia could have a field day against whoever Arsenal play at right back.

The ref has a good game. He clearly wasn't putting up with arsenal's anti football tactics like delaying throw ins and corners
Just wish refs in this country were strong enough to do the same and book players for it.
Football won tonight.
Well done ref |

"Okay…. That one stings…. "
It does. All the 'football won't nonsense really boils my piss. We should have obviously been as open as we can and just let them walk all over us - you know, so the bitter neutrals could enjoy the game more. We defended brilliantly and it's a horrible way to lose.
That said, we didn't do enough with the ball when we had it. A cliche, which I normally hate, but maybe we did score too early as we fell back pretty quickly.
But a great season nonetheless and I'd have ripped someone's arm off in August if they said we'd win the league and nothing else. I'm proud of this team. |

It was a good game. Arsenal's defence shut out PSG for so long. PSG didn't have any shots on target until the second half. Fatigue set in after such a long season for both teams. I think the subs could have done more for both sides.
A potential penalty for both sides not given. Missed chances. The penalties were bad. Run and hit it, this stutter thing is embarrassing.
Not sure about the whole football won argument. Both teams tried to win. Tactics are important. Playing open football is sometimes a recipe for disaster.
Arsenal won the league. Good for you. And a champions league runner up is not bad. Motivation for next season. PSG are the second team to win UCL back to back (the other team is R.Madrid).
Bring on the World Cup 🙌🏾😁 |

I was able to watch the game in the end.As a Cockney Red who works with a few Arsenal fans. It will be nice going into work on Monday.It always hurts when you lose on penalties but if you want a game to finish on the day then the only way is a penalty shootout. |

I don't hate Arsenal.
I think they are collectively a great bunch of players.
However, Arteta sets them up so negatively. Terrible to watch, yet so talented and could be an exciting side to watch.
The Invincibles, now that was a football team!! |

"I hate to rub salt into the wound as well here... But as last night's match was technically a draw, Arsenal went the entire CL campaign undefeated and still didn't win the trophy 😬"
. This season in the Portugal league Benfica managed by Jose Mourinho finished the season unbeaten in 3rd place. Eight points behind Porto who lost 2 games.

. Yeah it’s not all it cracked up to be if you don’t win the title. In England we have see numerous teams win double and Man Utd & Man City have both achieved the treble but only Arsenal have achieved a invincible season. |

People can poo poo it all they want jealousy,rivalry, pettiness I honestly couldn't care.
We put on a strong performance against a top side and the difference was settled by one penalty so I'm not going to dwell on the loss but more pride in my team.
Sat and watched the parade today and very emotional and full of pride.
I was present at the previous two parades.
I'm a proud far of The Arsenal . |

I dont get the thinking behind some footballers, and I don’t just mean Arsenal although obviously this was critical to last night’s outcome. Your job is football, you have all week/month/year to practice kicking the ball. When it comes to the shootout ffs, run up and kick the fucking thing as hard as you can but at least hit the target. If the goalie saves it, like the arsenal guy did, then so be it, at least you’ve given it a good shot (pardon the pun).
All this fannying about like the two Arsenal players did, particularly Eze, and after it all they didn’t even get it on target.
If they’re not confident about taking the pen then it’s up to the manager to pick someone who is.

. Congratulations on winning the Premier League & getting to the Champions League & Carabao Cup finals. Your team has had a top season as far as I am concerned. Although I am not a fan of Jose Mourinho he once said he was happy if his Real Madrid team enjoyed only 30% possessions against Pep’s Barcelona as it mean’t they would make less mistakes when they had the ball. Although I am not a lover of this type of football it can be effective as it really depends what you do with the ball when you have it.As you said the difference in the end was one penalty kick. People only remember that you won they don’t always remember the performance. As a Covkney Red I remember 1999 Bayern Munich pissed all over us but we still win the cup. |

Sham, we're definitely not on the same wavelength as I have to keep saying when I've made a joke. That was a joke. I actually don't know much about Preston North End in the 19th century!

You choose to explain you're joking. You don't have to. I know you're joking.
Who knows, maybe you have a great great great grandad or grandma who was there and never stopped talking about it. And the story was passed down from generation to generation until the Arsenal invincible season happened. The legend became a myth. |

I disagree.
That United side are remembered for being great to watch, never say die and bags of goals. My favourite United side.
A treble also helps! I can't think of one Arsenal game this season where I have thought "wow, some side".
PSG on the other hand. What a team! People will remember that Bayern game as an all time classic.

Will it ever end? The season is done now. They won the league. I've heard Arsenal chants all day today and yesterday. I can't escape them. These guys are partying like it's 2004. |

"1 European Cup / Champions League won in total by London clubs is a piss poor tally you have to say…
Pains me to say it, but Chelsea have won it twice.
"
Fair enough, I forgot about their other one
So London has two European Cups to date then. Same as Nottingham, who managed it 46 years ago…
