"Paris Saint-Germain retained the UEFA Champions League title on Saturday, defeating Arsenal 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Budapest, ending the English side's dream of winning the trophy for the first time in their history. "To get the Premier League over the line was a dream come true. And to do this tonight would have been extra special. It wasn't meant to be. That's football. We're gutted," said Arsenal's Declan Rice. "We want that success, so we'll be back for sure." PSG's Nuno Mendes shared that the victory reflected the team's resilience. "We didn't give up until the very last moment, and that's what we're trying to do. And even when we can't do what we like to do – have the ball and control the game. Today, I think we did that well. And above all, we were willing to suffer. We were good, we were solid." "Today was a different game. We didn't know if we were going to win until the penalty. Right until the end, there was unbelievable tension. But winning it this way makes it special too," remarked PSG's Marquinhos. He continued, "We're going to celebrate. I don't think we've fully realised what we've achieved yet, but it will go down in history," reflecting on the back-to-back titles. Footage also shows fans from both clubs gathering outside the stadium ahead of the final and sharing their expectations and predictions for the match. Arsenal led early through Kai Havertz, but PSG drew level through Ousmane Dembele before winning the trophy in a penalty shootout after Gabriel missed his kick. PSG's victory follows their 5-0 rout of Inter Milan in last season's final, making them back-to-back European champions for the first time since the competition's current format began."
