UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

What exactly am I watching Arsenal is actually leading the game, this is absolutely unacceptable for me, like how is this possible? But my fate still stands in anyway, unless I hear the final whistle I'm not keying into this lead, like what exactly was Paris Saint Germain thinking that they have to let this goal in, and even up till now I'm not really seeing any impressive performance from Arsenal to get this goal, it's indeed a lucky goal no doubt, but I'm very much certain this game is ending in favor of Paris Saint Germain no doubt.

Arsenal were just lucky with the goal because they don't look serious, though we already knew from beginning that Paris Saint-Gamain would pressure them. To be honest I was surprised to see Arsenal ahead of Paris Saint-Gamain, but looking at the game right now it's obvious that PSG might be able to make it because they've dominated from first half into this second half. But they need to score a goal before they can balance it. They are really playing very well and like the fact that they are making the game look more interesting because they're playing as if they are ahead of Arsenal.

They were serious, the only problem they had was because after scoring they went back to defend that goal, instead of still being offensive to PSG, that defensive pattern made Arsenal scatter their initial game plan. In the second half, after that PSG goal, they were able to at least step forward a little, which to an extent helped them to still sustain the game till this extra time. I just hope Arsenal don't play defensive again because it's obviously not in their best interest, but offensively will help balance the game.

Arsenal finished the first half with a 1–0 lead, and the match is now in the 60th minute.

PSG have been the more aggressive side and are applying plenty of pressure, but they have struggled to find a goal.

PSG have now been awarded a penalty, giving them a great opportunity to equalize. Let’s see if they can convert it and get back into the match.

PSG has finally scored, if not for the penalty they would not have been able to break through Arsenal's defense, my prediction for this game judging from how the game is going I think it would end up in a penalty shoot out and arsenal are going to end up winning. Arsenal's plan has been completely shattered because of that opportunity psg had, the only chance they have now is a penalty.

The tensions are crazily high. I certainly didn't expect the game to end in a draw and go into extra time. Arsenal had high hopes after scoring in the first half and holding onto that lead until the second half of the game when Dembele scored a goal with a penalty increasing the tempo of the game.
Arsenal has really tried in holding on despite having less of the ball and lass opportunities to score as well. The extra time has begun and perhaps we would see a team break the deadlock and secure the win. Personally, I hope Arsenal breaks the deadlock and score to win the game.

[Fiatless]

What a crucial save from David Raya. Could that be the save that keeps Arsenal in the finals, because it’s got to be. PSG had all to do with that ball, Barcola was already ahead and he didn’t really over push the ball but just enough to run up on it. Raya had a 50/50 chance to contest the ball with Barcola and he managed it good without evening committing a foul. It’s being the game we all hoped to watch so far and one that would be going to the extra time.

I think Barcola moved the ball too far that Raya could come close and cover up before he shot. Arsenal should be happy that they survived full-time. Dembele is out, that's an advantage for Arsenal because he is a player who can make a difference using slight chances.  Hoping to see Arsenal come out to play in the next thirty minutes. Their defensive approach didn't work out as planned.  I don't know why Eze was not in this game from the second half. I think he would have been useful because Arsenal were losing balls.

Nah..they wouldn't pack the bus any more because if they don't come out to attack how will they score. I don't expect this match to end in a penalty kick because I believe that one side will score in this extra time. First to score will be the winner.

Arsenal should be careful with the way they're attacking and let them also be able to retreat fast to avoid PSG using it as an advantage to counter them and score them to take the lead.

Many people continue to argue that the penalty given in favour of PSG shouldn't have been considered, since it wasn't intentional, now PSG is beginning to have more increasing morale and confidence towards Arsenal, before Arsenal realizes it's time for its first substitute after Saka was given a yellow card.

PSG 1-1 ARSENAL

Anyone arguing that the penalty wasn't supposed to be given is probably an Arsenal sympathiser, that was a clear penalty because the infield referee gave it as penalty and var also validated it. Whether it was intentional or not intentional, the important thing was that there was a contact and the player was denied a scoring opportunity. It wouldn't have been fair to PSG if that penalty wasn't given.

[Smartvirus]

At this level, in a match like this, a penalty like that didn't make any sense to me. I thought PSG would struggle without that penalty goal, but it came at just the right time. Arsenal might give us a déjà vu. Twenty years ago, they lost 2-1 to Barça after leading 0-1 at halftime. Arsenal were down to 10 men in that match because Campbell received a red card. Those years suddenly came to mind.

What didn’t make sense…
Is it the fact that the referee gave it or there wasn’t much in it to be a penalty for you?
Because I completely think otherwise. No one would deny the fact that, it was a goal opportunity for PSG and  Mosquera did trip Kvaratskhelia. It was that obvious a penalty, the referee called it out and the VAR agreed. It didn’t take much to reach that conclusion. The referee has being holding on to giving out cards and that’s one way to manage this game squarely.
PSG had good chances that wasn’t converted else, this game wasn’t supposed to go into extra time.

The game is becoming interesting, i honestly thought arsenal got this game, but it obvious PSG doesn’t want them to have it.. The tension is so crazy..

Now they must try to attack, because playing defensively now means ensuring their defeat, but it will not be easy for Arsenal to score at this stage, because now PSG will score 1 goal in any way, the main thing is that the team that scores first will win, because the game is now going into extra time, so this time is the most important, now conceding a goal means losing the match, so we have to see which team scores first now, I personally think PSG has a good chance.

That was a reckless challenge by Mosquera, he was suppose to stay with the player because the PSG make knows he's going nowhere and he was even luckily not to be red carded, I honestly don't trust the way some ref issue out cards. PSG are not as threatening as they use to be, with this new legs Arsenal have in the pitch if they make use of their chances they might be celebrating another goal, for now is defend, make use of any opportunity that comes and at the end you'd be champs, the tension is just too high for both sides.

It’s a final of champions. Don’t know why fans expected it to be an easy win for PSG.

Raya has been absolutely brilliant in this match, not that I expect anything less but he’s saved Arsenal many times in this final. Gyökeres is having an off-game, I don’t even know what to say about his performance. I’m counting on Eberechi Eze to change the game for Arsenal.

What Arsenal is playing today is what brought them this far, they should be even be commended for not conceding a first half goal from PSV who pass them in both possession and passes completed. This match is a very critical match and any mistake from Arsenal in terms of trying to drag possession with PSG, the game will quickly turn against them. I just hope thet will be able to hold the game to full time in this score.

I have already commended Arsenal for not allowing PSG score a goal in the first half, Arsenal choice of playing a low block game in the first half gave PSG the advantage to pass them in both ball possession and passes completed. You can see the evidence after PSG levelled up against Arsenal through the penalty spot in the second half PSG ball possession reduced because Arsenal came out to play football. If Arsenal had dragged ball possession in the second half before PSG equalized Arsenal could have won the Champions League but their low block game made PSG to score through the penalty spot.

[Dunamisx]

Arsenal was just denied a golden chance for penalty, but something similar was given as advantage for PSG against arsenal that made PSG score their goal, what do you think guys, was it a penalty for Madueke or not, this is getting more interesting, fist half done after the extra time, Arsenal seems to have more upper hand this time around and am more confident they could have a winning chance to score a goal to make it 2 against PSG.

It’s not just that. The referee is being too lenient with PSG and harsh on Arsenal players, just look at how many yellow cards have been given to Arsenal now. All the calls have been to PSG’s favor. It’s ridiculous! If this game gets to penalties, I’d switch off my tv and just see the scores after.

It was expected, defense is how Arsenal manage and win their games. Once more, they’ve delivered what was expected of them in this final, holding PSG back from scoring goals and most of that is thanks to Raya. He’s being exceptional after that penalty goal against them. PSG didn’t have much opportunities to try Raya in the first half but, after the goal from the spot kick, Arsenal was out a lot more and that gave PSG opportunities to test Raya. Barcola and Vitinha had good chances but, they couldn’t utilize it.
The best chance PSG have got in this is, not having to take this to the penalties else, it’s going to be an Arsenal UCL.

I think PSG became too comfortable because Arsenal allowed them to control the game for that long in the first half. And I don’t know if I’ll say Arsenal made a mistake by straying to press on the second half. I think Arsenal started off well even though PSG seems to have dominated possession, I still wonder what would have been their fate had it not been for that penalty kick.

This is one of the reasons I don't like arsenals play, they are majorly focused of defending when they have the talent and opportunity to play both attack and defend. I must commend their defense but a big club like arsenal shouldn't put all their luck on defense. Since PSG tiered the score the boys have showed us a bit a what a final should look like. I think this game is gonna end up in penalty.

PSG has dominance in this match but that alone is not going to determine who will win this match.
Immediately PSG scored, the match chances and Arsenal start playing very well rather then playing defense. The match is to tough and there is no way we can determine who is going to be the crown of champions league for this season.

[ChocolateBitcoinK]

There are only about 6 minutes left in extra time, I think the game will end up going to a penalty shootout, because both teams are performing equally, so I don't know if a goal will come at the very last minute. But I think if the game ends up going to a penalty shootout, then PSG will have a good chance, let's see, the match is really exciting.

This game will definitely end in a penalty shootout. I said this yesterday, that Arsenal will not take it lightly on PSG, and if they score in the first minute of the game, they will switch to a defensive style until the end of the match. However, that plan was spoiled after PSG got a penalty. Nevertheless, let’s wait and see how the penalty shootout will be.
