Paris Saint-Germain successfully defended their UEFA Champions League crown after a tense and hard-fought final against Arsenal at the Puskas Arena.The match ended 1-1 after extra time, with PSG eventually winning 4-3 on penalties.

Arsenal took an early lead through Kai Havertz in the sixth minute, putting pressure on the French champions and forcing them into a patient and controlled response.

Despite dominating possession with more than 70 percent of the ball and completing over 800 passes compared to Arsenal's 199, PSG struggled to break down a well-organised defensive setup led by Mikel Arteta's side.

Arsenal’s disciplined structure limited clear chances in the first half, with PSG stars Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue tightly marked and unable to influence the game freely.

The breakthrough came in the second half when Kvaratskhelia won a penalty after a foul by Cristhian Mosquera, and Ousmane Dembele converted from the spot to level the match.Extra time remained tight and scrappy, with neither team able to find a winner.In the penalty shootout, PSG held their nerve as Arsenal defender Gabriel missed crucially by shooting over the bar, allowing PSG to seal victory.The win marked PSG's second consecutive Champions League title and saw them equal Barcelona's record of 45 goals in a single campaign.Coach Luis Enrique praised his team's resilience, discipline and ability to adapt under pressure, highlighting their mental strength.

The result confirms PSG as one of the most dominant forces in European football, built on teamwork, patience and tactical maturity rather than only attacking flair.
