Paris Saint-Germain’s players celebrate after winning the UEFA Champions League final football match between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Arsenal FC at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on May 30, 2026.
The match ended 1-1 after regulation and extra time before PSG in a dramatic shootout (4-3) defended their European crown.
Arsenal made a fast start, taking the lead after just six minutes when Kai Havertz broke through and fired past PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safonov.
Despite the early setback, PSG controlled much of the possession and gradually worked their way back into the contest.
PSG found their equalizer in the 65th minute when Ousmane Dembélé converted a penalty, bringing the final level and forced extra time — the first Champions League final to go beyond 90 minutes in a decade.
Arsenal’s Eberechi Eze missed from the spot earlier in the match, while David Raya kept the Gunners alive with a crucial save from Nuno Mendes to maintain parity.
The pressure continued into the shootout, where Lucas Beraldo converted PSG’s final penalty, leaving Gabriel Magalhães needing to score to extend the contest.
With the decisive kick, Gabriel blasted his effort over the bar, handing PSG a 4-3 penalty shootout win.
The miss sparked celebrations among PSG players and fans as they lifted back-to-back Champions League trophies in Budapest.
