Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League over Arsenal in a dramatic penalty shootout. In a final that had all the tension possible, Paris Saint-Germain ended up winning the Champions League over Arsenal in a dramatic penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw following extra time. It was logical that there would not be the same kind of difference as last year, when Paris Saint-Germain beat Inter 5-0 in the final. This was much different, to the point that they had to come from behind after Havertz gave Arsenal the lead in the opening minutes with a great goal. In the second half, Paris Saint-Germain continued pushing until Kvaratskhelia was brought down by Mosquera in the box for a penalty that Dembélé converted to level the score. Not much happened after that and they finished tied. With key players being substituted on both teams because of how tired they were, not much was left in action, so they went to penalties. In the shootout, Eze missed for Arsenal and Nuno Mendes missed for PSG. The series continued with PSG leading 4-3, and Arsenal needed to score their final kick to stay alive, but Magalhães sent his effort high over the crossbar, and Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain's UEFA Champions League title added another trophy to Ousmane Dembele's collection—one that has continued to elude Kylian Mbappe. Ousmane Dembele once again helped lead Paris Saint-Germain to the summit of European soccer by winning the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. The French winger added another major trophy to his resume, one that his France teammate Kylian Mbappe has yet to win. The triumph was the 21st title of Dembele’s career, spanning his time with Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, and PSG, as well as his accomplishments with France. Among the most notable achievements on his resume are back-to-back Champions League titles and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Mbappe was also part of that World Cup-winning France squad and has matched Dembele’s total of 21 career trophies. Among the highlights of the Real Madrid forward’s collection are six Ligue 1 titles with PSG, one with Monaco, and the 2020-21 UEFA Nations League title with France. However, the Champions League remains the biggest missing piece in Mbappe’s career. He came closest in 2020, when PSG lost the final to Bayern Munich. That disappointment was one of the factors behind his decision to leave the Paris club and join Real Madrid, the most successful team in European Cup history. ¡GOOOOOL DEL PSG! ¡MOSQUERA COMETE PENAL! 🤯🔥Terrible error del jugador del Arsenal, Dembélé anota desde los once pasos y pone el 1-1 pic.twitter.com/oCbtx5oY1K— TUDN USA (@TUDNUSA) May 30, 2026 The outcome, however, has been unexpected. In his first two seasons in Spain, Mbappe has been unable to lift the Champions League trophy, while PSG have captured the title in both campaigns. Without Mbappe but with Dembele as their leading star, the Parisian side secured the first two Champions League crowns in club history.
