PSG Wins Champions League, Makes History After Beating Arsenal
Paris Saint-Germain won the UEFA Champions League trophy on May 31, 2026, defeating Arsenal on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Budapest. Goals from Kai Havertz (Arsenal) and Ousmane Dembele (PSG) kept the match level before PSG prevailed on spot kicks.
The Parisians joined an exclusive club by becoming only the third club in history to win both their league title and the Champions League in back-to-back seasons, following Real Madrid (1956-58) and Ajax (1971-73). PSG had already secured the French Ligue 1 title before this final.
Over 400 people were arrested during PSG victory celebrations across France, highlighting the passion surrounding this achievement. For African football fans, this victory represents the growing influence of African players in Europe's elite competition.
