Paris Saint‑Germain captured a second consecutive Champions League title on Saturday, prevailing 4‑3 in a penalty shootout after a 1‑1 deadlock with Arsenal at Budapest’s Puskás Arena. Kai Havertz opened the scoring in the sixth minute, but Ousmane Dembélé converted a second‑half penalty to level the match. The French side dominated possession but could not break through before extra time.

PSG’s 74% possession and 21 shots to Arsenal’s seven underscored their control, while goalkeeper Matvey Safonov faced only a single on‑target attempt. In the shootout, Eberechi Eze missed his spot‑kick and Gabriel Magalhães saw his effort sail over the bar, handing the victory to Luis Enrique’s side. Safonov’s lone save came from David Raya’s attempt, while PSG’s composure under pressure proved decisive.

By becoming only the second club since the 1992 format change to retain the crown, PSG join Real Madrid in an elite group and cement their status as Europe’s powerhouse. Arsenal’s run, built on a £250 million summer overhaul, fell short at the final hurdle, leaving Arteta to reassess penalty options. Vitinha logged most touches, passes and carries, driving the midfield that kept Arsenal on back foot.
