Paris Saint-Germain defeated Arsenal 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the Champions League final, with Désiré Doué inspiring the fightback. Kai Havertz had given Arsenal an early lead, but Ousmane Dembélé equalised from the penalty spot in the second half.
Arsenal started strongly and took the lead in the first half through Havertz, who finished calmly after a deflection off Marquinhos.
