UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[juttsab@]

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 have successfully defended their title against Arsenal and were crowned as Champions league for the  second time. In full time both teams scored 1-1 . Kai Havertz scored an early goal for Arsenal in just 6 minutes in the 1st half. PSG scored an equalizer in the 65th minute Dembele converted the penalty into the goal. In the penalties Arsenal lost by 4-3 . Gabriel misses the last penalty and handover the trophy to PSG. David Raya saved 1 penalty and his  performance throughout the game was amazing . Declan Rice is named as player of the match. PSG dominated the game entirely 75% possession and 21 total shots

If not for the penalty advantage PSG had to score their first goal, the game would have been so tough for PSG that I'm not sure they would have won, because after Arsenal's first goal it was very difficult since the defense was so strong that PSG couldn't penetrate Arsenal. Luck was never on the side of Arsenal because they played very well, and I'm very proud of Arsenal. Despite the fact that Arsenal was lucky to win the Champions League, their performance has shown they are really Champions League material, and I won't be surprised if they get to the Champions League finals next season. I like the fact that PSG looked pressured in the game, but they still managed to get through.

PSG saw nothing to play against Arsenal, Enrique was so confused about the next move to take on Arsenal. The ball was rigged, looking at how the second half started. Had the game left to be on a normal play ground, Arsenal would have ended up the winner. Also if you noticed how Enrique celebrated the win, you'd figure out that he knows he doesn't deserve the win.

Aside from defense after that first goal, Arsenal played trash even when the score tied

PSG were lucky they got that penalty if not By now no one would’ve been talking about how bad Arsenal played today but rather they will be talking how tactical they were able to contain PSGs attack and held on to win the game. One thing we all must need to understand in football is that everyone have their approach in a game and you must not expect Arsenal to play the way PSG were playing. Playing a high explosive attack team like PSG you need a tactical approach and not just to go and play normal football if not you’ll end up conceding numerous goal just like the ones Chelsea conceded during their round of sixteen encounter with PSG.

There are many people who have wanted Arsenal to fail, so it is why their mouth will not close as arsenal failed to win, but they fail to commend the club for being able to stop PSG all game until penalty. Any of the teams would have won. and if it was Arsenal, many people will rain fake praises on the team.
Arsenal should start preparing for the next season because as far this competition goes, Arsenal can no longer be ignored or underestimated, they have been consistent in the competition, PSG has been their biggest obstacles twice.

[Iamgoat]

He went into the match with the wrong mindset, but again, that is how Arsenal has approached every game. That is not a way for a top team to approach a game.
Arsenal went into the game with the mindset of scoring one goal and then defending. That is a loser mentality. As Arsenal got the first goal, they should have looked for a second. You can't sit back like that against a team like PSG and expect them not to equalise one way or the other. Everything needs to go your way for you to get everything right. I'm not saying they shouldn't focus on defence, but they should have at least focused on the attack too. You can't win a game if you don't score.
Allowing PSG so many opportunities to continue having waves of attack is like inviting them into the house.

Arsenal actually tried. They managed to take the game to extra time and then penalties just by defending well. PSG deserved the win because they were the better team, but Arsenal tried because they defended well.
Arsenal just needs to wait for another season to try again, but they need to get a better attack. They don't have a good attack and they need to do something about it.

I am really disappointed at Arsenal’s performance in today’s match, Arsenal literally had just one goal on target and the rest was just defensive game they kept playing. I was having a talk with a friend right before the beginning of the match and I told him Arsenal was going to try to score a goal and will go back to defending the goal like they did with Atletico Madrid but I equally told him it won’t be the best approach towards a team like PSG because the PSG guys are highly penetrative and won’t just fold their arms and watch arsenal go away with the goal, if there is one thing the PSG guys are also known for is how to create opportunities to break a defense so I told my friend practicing such tactics will hardly work for a team like PSG and the beast is for them to keep giving the pressure. Honestly I knew Arsenal would lose if they try to play the same tactics they used today but I thought Arteta should understand these things better.

[Pjcr7]

Congratulations to PSG, this was not the kinda outcome I expected but congratulations to the winners. Arsenal tried and nobody can take it away from them. It's just unfortunate that the penalty loss came at the hands of their two most important players this season especially Gabriel. Gabriel has been one of their most inform player, I understand how he must have felt after losing that penalty. PSG joins Real Madrid in defending their champions league since it was renamed in 1992. Real Madrid and PSG are the only two teams to have successfully defended the champions league since this time frame.

Oleoleoleole!!!!! Come on PSG!!!!!! i knew you could do that. Finally, PSG is b2b UCL Champion. They deserve it by playing against a club that only rely upon parking bus & set piece. I'm watching the whole game, and i'm truly impressed with how they are never giving up till the end. I also don't forget to give a special thanks for Mosquera for doing a stupid mistake inside 18 yard.
I'm getting nervious when PSG lose the lead, but very happy with the heroic foul by Mosquera. 

PSG played with everything they have, and i think they deserve this win. PSG win means Arsenal banter for no UCL trophy is continue for another decade.
This proves that Enrique is in another level. He may break Zidane's record by winning UCL three times in a row. 

PSG totally deserves it, they worked hard enough

As for Arsenal this is not a ULC season to win, it is a season to learn, and work on their attack, there was no goal coming from them if not a mistake from PSG defender
They should loose and be able to see that they lack good attack, if they can work on this, they have a high chance of winning next season.

Arsenal deserved to lose this game, because I don’t know what they’re playing in the game and it was a total mess from the beginning, the problem Arsenal had was sitting back and defending after scoring that early goal, and it was a tactic that was perfect for Arsenal, because I don’t think they can play a normal game with Paris-Saint-German.

Arsenal isn’t a very good team, they had a easy run to the Champions League Final, How does a team play Bayern Leverkusen, Sporting CP, and Atheltico Madrid, and they would be winning the Champions League, that easy run doesn’t favour Arsenal in any way in the game.

[Zoomic]

It's nice that you've seen that it's a gamble that didn't pay off, who does that. You scored 6 minutes into the game and decided to park the bus, that's so stupid of the team. In terms of possession yes they were never going to drag it with PSG but not what happened today, you can't be playing against this deadly team and you decided to park the bus from minute 6, what were you expecting will happen. You are up against that kind of attack and you think you can sustain it till 90 minutes, another big joke. PSG doesn't have a solid defence but you do, why not take your chances at their defence. You can see the few time Arsenal went forward and how it turned out, what happened to keep on trying and see them make mistakes. You have a better defence than them, you could recover better than them so why not take your chances?

I just feel that Arteta did the best he could for this trophy but it's unfortunate that he didn't win the trophy.

To me, parking the bus was the best approach for Arsenal and it worked for them. I said that it worked because they were able to play PSG the whole 90 minutes and played more 30 minutes. It was a penalty shootout that settled the score.

Assuming that Arteta tried to drag possession and progress towards PSG post so often, this would have been a repeat of PSG Vs Bayern Munich at France, but the difference would have been that Arsenal will not be able to score as high goal as Bayern did.  I don't blame Arteta nor his players, they did their best and it worked just that the shootout didn't favour them.

Congratulations to PSG

I strongly believed that PSG would win the Champions League and this call back to back winning. My Nigeria brother (E. Eze) first fucked up. He missed his penalty and PSG would have used that to win the match but N. Mendes helped Arsenal out by missing his penalty. And G. Magalhaes made PSG to win the game. The matter what Arsenal tried. I appreciate them tense match with PSG. But I knew that PSG would win and predicted for PSG to score in the second half in the 55 minutes. Big congratulations to PSG for not shaming the supporters in this final.

Congratulations to you for winning your bet. You did predict that PSG were going to win the match and they did. I was disappointed with Eze’s performance tonight, I had hoped he would turn the game around when he was subbed in but turned out he couldn’t make a positive impact for us. Tbf Arsenal were class tonight, they had to compete against the crowd, the PSG players, and the referee.

PSG didn't start winning champions league immediately, they lost in the finals at some point before winning against inter and Arsenal subsequently, so, it'll be hard for Arsenal to come up and win immediately after about 20 years of reaching this stage, just like they got to fail multiple times in the premier league before lifting the trophy, someday, when they get to hit the champions league finals again, Arsenal is most likely going to win the game. But for the records, PSG confirmed Arsenal's play today, they were unable to decipher the code behind their backline on a normal.

PSG controlled the game throughout and I'd say they deserved it more. They won the Champions League for the second time; who would have predicted a few years ago that PSG would win it consecutively?
They're doing a really good job. They have a great system and they continue to use it to break down their opponents in every match.
Havertz's early goal was surprising I knew there wouldn't be another one and Arsenal would retreat into defense.

Exactly the point, myself had really high hopes on Arsenal but the moment the 90 minutes main play was over with extra time, they went into another 30 minutes of play and still the match was on 1 :1 draw, and they had to go into penalty shootout, I simply gave up on Arsenal winning because PSG was a kind of better in this regard.

But then, Arsenal played a very matured game not minding that PSG kind of had an upper hand, Arsenal still did their very best, I congratulate the team because whether with trophy or not, they are still winners, qualifying to play in the finals alone shows dedication and hard work, this is something I think the team should celebrate, and also with the fact that they have the premier league title to their name in the just concluded or ended season, this was a good season for Arsenal and I hope and pray next season be better.

[DYOR+BTC]

Among everything that happened in the champions league this season,  the most shocking thing i have seen is how Arsenal played over the opportunity they have to give PSG a soft victory at last. From when the game started, I will say Arsenal had all the chances of victory because both teams where equal in strength.  From when the game started, Arsenal and PSG had an equal strength but lost it all when they choose to defend that one goal over playing a balanced football. The fear they developed at the first half was why PSG dominated them in the game.

It wasn't really an easy game for psg to win, they are going to give arsenal the respect they deserve because they would have ended up losing if they didn't take advantage of an opportunity they had. The fact that they had more ball possession but arsenal were still able to score first and also defend like their life depended on winning the game. If psg didn't have the opportunity to play the penalty kick it is obvious that they would have lost. Indeed the champions league finals was really an predictable match, congratulations to psg.

The Referee switched to support PSG on the second half, which was a huge challenge for Arsenal, when the ref is against you, no matter how well you try, there is a high chance you'd be losing in the game.

Arsenal got the easier route on their way to the Uefa Champions League grand finals this year, I think the toughest opponent they played would be Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals. It was kind of unexpected to see Paris Saint-Germain dominating the whole game today especially since it is the grand finals and I was initially expecting to see an intense and exciting game between these two teams, but it seems that Paris Saint-Germain was clearly the better team to win the trophy this year even though Arsenal did tried to drag the game into a penalty shootout.

The crowd was really impressed by the quality of play of Paris Saint-Germain in the final. Arsenal seemed unable to develop an attacking style and were forced to defend throughout normal time. It was an indication that the game strategy of the opponent was too challenging to do away with at present. The name was well deserved by the team with which the field was dominated.

[len01]

Congrats to PSG for winning UCL again this season, even if it felt like luck played a big part in it.

Some PSG fans might not agree with me, but the reality is that PSG got one of their goals from a penalty and then managed to win in the penalty shootout. That's why I personally see this victory as being heavily influenced by a bit of good fortune.

[Chinesebaby]

Inasmuch as Arsenal played exceptionally and even took it to the penalty knock out, let us be frank, the type of Arsenal plays is not one we should encourage, if all the teams adapt same type of plays, I don't think alot of people will be football fans. And honestly do you feel If PSG where desperate to convert they wouldn't have had the chance to ? Football is not that plain that because a team got that means they wouldn't be able to get a goal? Wasn't it making an attempt that led them to the penalties?

Aside from defense after that first goal, Arsenal played trash even when the score tied

And that defensive game which Arsenal kept playing after scoring its first goal at 6 minutes into the match by Kai Harvertz was Arsenal's biggest mistake ever today. Because, it is obvious that Mikel Arteta might have thought that the had won the game since, most especially as Arsenal was taking the lead by 1 goal, forgetting the fact that such single goal could easily be scored by its opponent and qualify for the penalty kick at the end, which actually ended that exact same day too as Dembele of Paris Saint German scored at 65th minutes into the game. So a big congratulations to PSG. You guys truly deserves it.

[SensitiveEyes]

Arsenal had low 24% possession but held the lead for 59 minutes. The ref was soft towards Arsenal because he could have given penalties to PSG for handballs. PSG were not dropping the desire to win the Champions League. Arsenal led the score for 59 minutes time but the efforts were empty. The Gunners fouled in the box so they gave the penalty. The Gunners should have lost before penalties because PSG were the best team. PSG are experts at getting wins from games.

[Popkon6]

Arsenal players could not dominate this match, although Arsenal played a significant role in the first half of the game and had an attacking performance. In the second half of the game, PSG showed their attacking performance, in this case they were able to score a goal through a penalty.
And during the game, there was a lot of competition between the two teams, Arsenal players missed many goals. In this difficult situation, missing opportunities certainly creates the possibility of losing, which is what happened in the case of Arsenal. However, in the end, PSG won the game on penalties, it mainly depends on luck. However, PSG players are definitely lucky, they broke Real Madrid's record of winning the trophy twice in a row.

[BitBakerr1]

What a final, I believe this final is way better than last champions league final match, the tension of this match was just too much I enjoyed every part of it.
Congratulations to PSG they performed very well and they played better but was able to create chances to score because Arsenal’s defense was very strong. Sincerely speaking I wanted Arsenal to win the champions league trophy since they have not lifted it before but faith happened I believe is not their time when is their time they will lift the champions league trophy.
I will never put blame on those Arsenal players that missed those penalty’s which is Eze and Gabriel because it’s not actually easy.
Well done to Arsenal they had a wonderful and successful season.
