Paris St-Germain secured their second consecutive Champions League title with a dramatic 4-3 penalty shootout victory over Arsenal after a 1-1 draw in Budapest. This achievement marks PSG as only the second club to retain Europe's premier club competition, continuing their remarkable dominance under Luis Enrique.

The French giants became the first team to successfully defend their Champions League crown since Real Madrid's three-peat from 2016 to 2018. Luis Enrique joins an elite group of managers with three European Cup titles, following in the footsteps of legends like Bob Paisley and Carlo Ancelotti while establishing PSG as one of Europe's greatest ever teams.

Remarkably, PSG has thrived without their former star Kylian Mbappé, who departed for Real Madrid. The team scored 44 more goals across all competitions this season compared to Mbappé's final year and had 20 different goalscorers. This collective approach demonstrates the complete transformation under Luis Enrique.
