Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League for the second consecutive year by overcoming Arsenal in a penalty shootout. The final ended 1–1 after extra time, with PSG advancing after Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhaes missed his penalty.

Arsenal scored first through Kai Havertz in the sixth minute, prompting a defensive strategy that limited PSG's attacking opportunities. PSG equalised via an Ousmane Dembélé penalty in the 65th minute, forcing the match into extra time.

Luis Enrique became a three-time Champions League winner as a coach, joining an elite group of managers. PSG's young starting lineup, with an average age under 24, demonstrated potential for sustained dominance.
