PSG are the undisputed kings of Europe, winning Saturday’s Champions League final in penalty kicks, 4-3. Thirty minutes of extra time couldn’t bring a winner, leading to the spot kicks, with Gabriel missing the fifth and final attempt for Arsenal to end a gripping affair.
In the penalties, Eberechi Eze missed wide on Arsenal’s second attempt, but David Raya stopped Nuno Mendes on PSG’s third attempt, allowing Declan Rice to convert his team’s third, keeping the English club in it.
Regulation got started with a bang as Kai Havertz got loose at midfield, marched down the field to scoop up a deflected ball and went powerful and high at the near post for the opening goal, marking his second goal in a UCL final after bagging the winner for Chelsea vs. Manchester City in 2021.
The Gunners, the best defensive team in Europe, put together a fantastic 90 minutes protecting their goal with several impressive slide tackles, but a penalty kick in the 64th minute allowed PSG to draw level. After Cristhian brought down Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the box, Ousmane Dembele scored from the spot to draw it level, leading to the tense extra time period.
