DStv and GOtv subscribers are set for another packed week of European football as the Open View window begins today, following a dramatic close to the major league seasons across Europe.
Over the weekend, more access to selected final-day fixtures across top European leagues was already made available, including Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, where the newly crowned Premier League champions lifted the trophy. Goals from Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke sealed the win before Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled one back late for Palace.
The focus now shifts to two European finals, beginning with the UEFA Conference League final between Crystal Palace and Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. Palace will be looking to end their poor league season with European silverware and qualification for Europe, while Rayo Vallecano will attempt to cap their own campaign seeking its first-ever continental trophy.
As part of the Open View window, DStv Yanga customers can watch SS Football Finals on DStv Channel 202 and SS Football on DStv Channel 205, while GOtv Jolli customers will enjoy similar access, including the Champions League final live on SS Football on GOtv Channel 61.
Arsenal Chasing Historic Finish
Saturday brings the bigger test for Arsenal, who face defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final in Budapest. Arsenal enter the final with the chance to complete a historic league and Champions League double after winning their first Premier League title in 22 years. Mikel Arteta’s side will also hope to carry the momentum from their trophy-lifting victory at Selhurst Park into the final.
The Gunners have received a boost with Mikel Merino back in contention after returning from injury against Palace, but there are concerns over Madueke, who was forced off in the second half. Arsenal are also monitoring Jurrien Timber, who has been out for more than two months with a groin injury but remains hopeful of returning.
PSG also have concerns of their own, with Achraf Hakimi a doubt and Ousmane Dembélé working to be fully fit after a recent lay-off. The French side are aiming to become the first club since Real Madrid, who won three straight titles from 2016 to 2018, to successfully retain the Champions League.
Live studio build-up begins at 3:30 p.m., with kick-off set for 5:00 p.m.on SS Football Finals and SS Football.
