Paris Saint-Germain beats Arsenal on penalties to win Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain secured the 2026 UEFA Champions League title after defeating Arsenal in Budapest. The match ended 1‑1, with Kai Havertz scoring early for Arsenal and Ousmane Dembélé converting a penalty after a foul on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The game was decided by a shootout in which Arsenal missed two penalties from Eberechi Eze and Gabriel, while PSG held their nerve to win.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and his players were seen leaving their hotel in Budapest following the loss. Despite the defeat, Arsenal will hold a parade in London to celebrate their Premier League championship. The victory also marked PSG coach Luis Enrique's first Champions League trophy, and the club began its pre‑season preparations with a friendly against Mallorca later in the week.
