Paris Saint-Germain edged past Arsenal in a dramatic penalty shootout to win the UEFA Champions League title on Saturday after a fiercely contested final in Budapest ended 1-1 following extra time, denying Mikel Arteta's side a maiden European crown despite a spirited performance.
Kai Havertz gave Arsenal an early lead in the sixth minute, but PSG levelled the score in the 64th minute to force extra time before prevailing in the shootout. Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes fired the last of his team's penalties over the bar to hand PSG a 4-3 shootout victory.
The victory secured Paris Saint-Germain's second European Cup/Champions League title and their second in succession, placing the French club among the select group of teams to have won Europe's premier club competition more than once since its inception in 1955.
