Paris Saint-Germain successfully defended their UEFA Champions League title after defeating Arsenal 4-3 on penalties following a tense 1-1 draw in the final on Saturday.

Arsenal made a dream start when Kai Havertz fired the Premier League champions ahead in the sixth minute. However, PSG fought back in the second half, with Ousmane Dembélé converting a penalty in the 65th minute to level the contest.

With neither side able to find a winner in regulation time, the match was decided by a dramatic penalty shootout. PSG held their nerve as Arsenal’s Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhães both missed their spot-kicks, allowing the French champions to secure a 4-3 shootout victory and claim their second consecutive European title.

Despite the heartbreak, Arsenal earned praise for a remarkable season and a resilient performance in the final, while PSG cemented their status as the dominant force in European football under coach Luis Enrique.
