Arsenal took the lead in the opening minutes with Kai Havertz’s goal, but Ousmane Dembélé equalized from the penalty spot after just over an hour of play and brought PSG back into the game. Since there was no change in the score until the end of extra time, the winner was decided by kicks from the penalty spot.
In the shootout, Gabriel and Eberechi Eze missed for Arsenal, which ensured victory for PSG. After missing the decisive penalty, Arsenal stopper Gabriel was left alone on the pitch as PSG players rushed around him celebrating the title.

One of them didn’t make it. Marquinhos joined in the celebration of his teammates later. His first move was to reach out to a friend from the Brazilian national team and offer support in a difficult moment. Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard has paid tribute to Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos, praising his sporting greatness and gentlemanly demeanor after the final.
“He is a gentleman. He has experienced both sides of a final like this and he knows what we are going through now,” said Ødegaard.
