Paris Saint-Germain has retained its European crown following a victory over Arsenal, cementing its place among the greatest clubs in football history. The French giant achieved a rare feat, matching a record that has stood for half a century. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
PSG has become the third team in history to win both their domestic league and the Champions League in two consecutive seasons. Previously, only Real Madrid (1956-58) in the 1950s and Ajax (1971-73) in the early 1970s achieved such a result. Luis Enrique's side showed great character in a dramatic match in Budapest.
The final was highly intense, with the winner decided by a penalty shootout. Ousmane Dembele responded to an early goal by Kai Havertz, ending regulation time in a draw. In the shootout, a miss by Gabriel Magalhaes secured a 4-3 victory for the Parisians.
Throughout the match, PSG dominated possession, while Arsenal played defensively. According to Opta, the London club held only 24.7% possession — the lowest in Champions League final history since 2004. This victory marks a significant milestone for Luis Enrique.
The Spanish tactician has become the fourth manager to win three or more European Cups. He now stands alongside legends like Carlo Ancelotti, Bob Paisley, Zinedine Zidane, and Pep Guardiola. After the match, Enrique emphasized that this success is the result of hard work throughout the entire season.
