PSG faces Arsenal, keeps France fifth in UEFA ranking

Paris Saint-Germain will face Arsenal in the Champions League final on Saturday at 18:00. PSG's repeat appearance keeps France represented in the UEFA coefficient calculation.

France is currently fifth in the UEFA association ranking. The French position will remain fifth at the end of the season if no further changes occur.

Portugal is gaining ground and could displace France in the ranking. Recent Portuguese club performances have created a threat to the French fifth place.

The final will be the decisive match for the coefficient points awarded to each association. Both French and Portuguese rankings depend on the outcome of the Saturday fixture.

The winner's association will secure the additional points that could solidify or shift the UEFA ranking ahead of the next season. France's standing will be confirmed after the final result is factored in.
