Background
Why this event matters
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) retained their Champions League title by defeating Arsenal 4-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in the final at the Puskas Arena in Budapest. This victory marks PSG’s second consecutive Champions League title, having also secured the Ligue 1 championship earlier in the season. Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes missed the decisive final penalty, firing over the crossbar. The match featured late substitutions for PSG, with Lucas Beraldo and Illia Zabarnyi replacing the limping Vitinha and Marquinhos, though the attribution of Zabarnyi (an Arsenal player) to PSG substitutions appears to be a source error. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya was noted for deliberately kicking the ball into touch during extra time, and PSG’s Nuno Mendes received a booking for tripping an opponent to prevent a counter-attack.
