Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) retained their Champions League title by defeating Arsenal on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the Puskás Aréna. Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta, failed to hold their nerve during the penalty shootout, with Eberechi Eze and Gabriel missing crucial penalties.

This match marked Arsenal's first appearance in the Champions League final in 20 years, and they were left to rue their missed opportunities. Arteta emphasized the need for evolution within the team, acknowledging that they are not yet at PSG's level of attacking prowess.
