The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
TNT Sports has decided not to make the Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris St-Germain free to air, requiring fans to have a subscription to watch. This marks the first time since the competition's launch in 1992 that the final will not be freely available. Despite pressure from fan groups and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer (an Arsenal fan), who wrote to TNT executives arguing the final should remain free to watch, the broadcaster has maintained its paywall.
