SOC:PSG beat Arsenal in Champions League final shoot-out

Paris Saint-Germain have won back-to-back Champions League trophies by beating Arsenal on penalties in a dramatic final in Budapest.

Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes fired the last of his team's penalties over the bar to hand PSG a 4-3 shootout victory at the Puskas Arena on Saturday.

The nervy game was poised at 1-1 at the end of regulation time and extra-time, sending the game to spot-kicks.

Arsenal had led after six minutes when Kai Havertz broke away and blasted past PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safonov.

But the defending champions dominated possession and Ousmane Dembélé levelled from the penalty spot in the 65th to take the final to extra time for the first time in 10 years.

Eberechi Eze also missed an earlier spot kick, but David Raya saved from Nuno Mendes to let Arsenal stay level.
