*Final score after extra time: PSG 1-1 Arsenal (PSG win 4-3 on penalties)*
Paris Saint-Germain are champions of Europe for the second consecutive year. After a tense 1-1 draw that lasted 120 minutes, PSG held their nerve from the penalty spot to defeat Arsenal 4-3 and lift the Champions League trophy.
6th minute – GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 PSG (Kai Havertz)
Arsenal stunned the reigning champions with a lightning start. A clearance from Marquinhos deflected off Leandro Trossard and fell perfectly for Havertz, who cut inside the penalty box and fired a powerful shot past PSG goalkeeper Matvei Sapunov. The Gunners' organization without the ball frustrated PSG's attacking trio of Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia and Doué throughout the opening 45 minutes.
Halftime: Arsenal 1-0 PSG
65th minute – PENALTY! PSG equalize (Ousmane Dembélé)
The momentum shifted in the second half. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia broke into the box and was brought down by Arsenal defender Cristhian Mosquera. The referee pointed straight to the spot. Ousmane Dembélé, calm under pressure, sent David Raya the wrong way with a low shot into the bottom-left corner.
1-1.
