In the UEFA Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain won the cup for the second time in a row by defeating Arsenal 4-3 as a result of the penalty shoot-out in the match, which ended 1-1 in the regular time and extra time.
In the UEFA Champions League final, the French team Paris Saint-Germain and the English representative Arsenal faced each other at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. In the 6th minute of the match, directed by referee Daniel Siebert from the German Football Federation, Arsenal took the lead 1-0 with a goal from Kai Havertz and the first half ended with this score. In the second half, the French team increased their pressure for a draw. In the 62nd minute, when Kvaratskhelia fell to the ground in the penalty area due to the intervention of his opponent, referee Siebert showed the penalty point. In the 65th minute, Ousmane Dembele took over the white point and sent the ball into the net, making the score 1-1. When the attacks of both teams failed in the following stages, the 90 minutes ended 1-1 and the match went into extra time. When the equality was not broken in these minutes, serial penalty shoot-outs were held. PSG made history by becoming the first team after Real Madrid to win the championship for the second time in a row by gaining a 4-3 advantage over Arsenal in the penalty shoot-out.
ARSENAL LEAVED SAD AGAIN
Arsenal again failed to capitalize on their first title chance in the UEFA Champions League.
Arsenal, which had previously succeeded in reaching the final once, lost 2-1 to Barcelona in 2006 and left the field sadly. The British representative, who repeated the success of reaching the final after 20 years, could not achieve what he wanted in the second final.
FINALISTS AND TROPHIES
The teams that reached the finals and won the cup in the history of the organization are as follows:
THE FRENCH WON FOR THE THIRD TIME
Spanish teams have enjoyed the most in the “Cup 1”, which has been played under the name of UEFA Champions League since the 1992-1993 season.
In the tournament where Spanish teams won 20 times, the British had a happy ending 15 times, the Italians 12, the Germans 8 times, the Dutch teams 6 times, and the Portuguese representatives 4 times.
The Champions League cup, which was won by French teams for the third time, also went to Romanian, Scottish and Yugoslav teams once each.
TEN YEARS LATER, PENALTY DETERMINED THE RESULT
The champion of the UEFA Champions League was determined by penalty shoot-outs after 10 years.
The final match in the “Giants League”, which previously went to a series of penalty shoot-outs, was played between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the 2015-2016 season. Real Madrid had a happy ending by winning the match, which ended 1-1 in normal time and overtime, 5-3 on penalties.
