PSG overcame Arsenal's early opener to win the Champions League final in a dramatic penalty shootout. Luis Enrique called the Gunners' sixth-minute goal "lucky" and acknowledged it created the toughest possible challenge for his team. PSG dominated the match after leveling through Ousmane Dembélé's second-half penalty before sealing victory from the spot.

Luis Enrique joined an elite group with his third Champions League title as a coach. The PSG boss rejected "legend" status despite his achievement and expressed mixed emotions following the win. PSG became only the second team after Real Madrid to win successive European titles since the competition's 1992 rebranding. The Spanish coach credited his team's resilience after facing early pressure from the Premier League champions.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi expressed confidence that Luis Enrique will stay at the club despite ongoing contract talks. "He's the best coach in the world," Al-Khelaifi declared. PSG secured their second consecutive European trophy despite the Gunners' strong defensive showing. The French champions remain focused on maintaining their continental dominance with their current squad.
