Ousmane Dembele’s second-half spot-kick cancelled out Kai Havertz’s opener, and shootout misses from Eberechi Eze and Gabriel ultimately proved decisive for the Gunners at the final hurdle. Havertz, who had scored to help Chelsea win the UCL five years earlier, put Arsenal in front early on. He finished off a swift counter-attack, racing through before drilling his effort past Sefanov, sending the travelling Arsenal supporters into raptures. Arsenal preserved their lead as the sides went into the interval, with Arteta’s men successfully protecting their advantage through the first 45 minutes.
PSG emerged sharper after the restart, repeatedly testing the Arsenal backline as Kvaratskhelia continually troubled the Gunners’ defence. A foul on the marauding Kvaratskhelia inside the area by Mosquera prompted the referee to point to the penalty spot. Having struggled to breach Arsenal’s defence in open play, PSG seized the opportunity, with Dembele thundering his penalty beyond the diving David Raya to level the scores. In the shootout, Goncalo Ramos, Desire Doue, Achraf Hakimi and Beraldo all converted for PSG, though Nuno Mendes saw his effort saved by Raya.
For Arsenal, Viktor Gyokeres, Declan Rice and Gabriel Martinelli scored from the spot, but the misses from Eze and Gabriel proved fatal as PSG clung on to their title.
