Arsenal’s bid to win the Champions League for the first time in their 140-year history ended in heartbreak after a penalty shoot-out defeat to Paris St Germain. Eberechi Eze and Gabriel both missed from the spot as PSG recorded a 4-3 shoot-out victory to retain their title after the game ended 1-1 as Kai Havertz’s sixth-minute opener was cancelled out by Ousmane Dembele’s second-half penalty. PSG landed the first psychological blow of the penalty shoot-out when they won the coin toss, with the shoot-out taking
place in front of their supporters at the Puskas Arena in Budapest. https://x.com/ChampionsLeague/status/2060798637265887570?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Eze dragged his spot-kick wide before David Raya provided Arsenal with a lifeline when he saved from Nuno Mendes. With the shoot-out in the balance at 3-3, Lucas Beraldo sent Raya the wrong way before Gabriel blazed over and Arsenal’s dreams of following up their Premier League title with a first Champions League triumph came to a crushing end.
