PSG wins Champions League on penalties after 1-1 draw with Arsenal

Paris Saint-Germain clinched the 2025-2026 UEFA Champions League title, overcoming Arsenal in a penalty shootout after a hard-fought 1-1 draw in the final at the Puskas Arena in Budapest.

Arsenal took an early lead with a goal from Kai Havertz in the sixth minute, capitalizing on a defensive error. PSG equalized through Ousmane Dembélé, who scored from the penalty spot after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was fouled. Dembélé, the reigning Ballon d'Or winner, was later substituted due to a muscular injury.

The match went into extra time after the 1-1 scoreline persisted through regulation. Ultimately, PSG proved more successful in the penalty shootout, securing their second Champions League trophy. The final also took place just weeks before the start of the 2026 World Cup.

This victory places PSG among Europe's elite club champions. The all-time standings for the UEFA Champions League title are led by Real Madrid, with Milan in second place. Liverpool and Bayern Munich follow with six titles each, while Barcelona has five. Ajax holds four titles, and Manchester United and Inter Milan each have three.
