This information was provided by Goal.com. The game began with an unexpected setback for PSG.
Defender Marquinhos made a costly error, which Kai Havertz capitalized on by taking possession of the ball and beating goalkeeper Matvey Safonov to open the scoring. After the goal, Luis Enrique's players took full control of the match.
However, in the first half, chances created by Fabian Ruiz and other attacking players were not converted effectively. In the second half, PSG intensified their attack and increased the pressure near the opponent's goal.
When Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was brought down by Kristian Mosquera inside the penalty area, the referee immediately awarded a penalty without hesitation. Ousmane Dembélé converted the spot-kick calmly, restoring parity.
Although Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola later came very close to scoring, Arsenal's goalkeeper David Raya showcased his skill, keeping his team level. No further goals were scored in extra time, as both sides played cautiously.
The penalty shootout turned into a nerve-wracking duel. On Arsenal's side, Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhães failed to convert their opportunities, missing their kicks.
Although Nuno Mendes also missed for PSG, the Parisian club ultimately prevailed in the overall score, retaining the prestigious European trophy. The team's success was met with joy by their loyal supporters.
