30 May
Summary
- Paris Saint-Germain secured a second consecutive Champions League title.
- Arsenal lost the final 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
- Kai Havertz scored for Arsenal, Ousmane Dembele equalized for PSG.
Paris Saint-Germain has once again been crowned Champions League winners, securing their second consecutive title with a dramatic 4-3 penalty shootout victory over Arsenal. The final, held on Saturday in Budapest, concluded in a 1-1 draw after extra time, with Arsenal ultimately falling short.
Arsenal's Premier League champions showed considerable resilience throughout the match, taking the game to penalties. However, missed spot-kicks from Eberechi Eze and Gabriel proved costly. This marks Arsenal's second final defeat in the competition, two decades after their first in 2006.
Kai Havertz had given Arsenal an early lead in the sixth minute, capitalizing on a defensive miscue. Paris Saint-Germain fought back, with Ousmane Dembele converting a penalty midway through the second half to equalize and send the match into extra time.
The French side, who last year defeated Inter Milan 5-0, were more confident in the shootout, having already won three penalty deciders this season. Arsenal's hopes were dashed when Gabriel's final penalty attempt sailed over the crossbar, handing PSG the coveted trophy.
