🚨🚨 PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN BEAT ARSENAL AND WIN BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONS LEAGUES! 🏆🏆 Historical achievement for PSG. 🔴🔵💥 http

What happened: Paris Saint-Germain defeated Arsenal in the Champions League final to capture back-to-back European titles. It is the second straight season PSG have lifted the trophy, following their 2025 triumph. The result denies Arsenal what would have been a maiden Champions League crown.

Why it matters: Repeating as European champions is a rare feat in the modern game and confirms PSG's standing at the top of the continent. For Arsenal, the defeat extends a long wait for a first Champions League title even after securing the Premier League this season, leaving the club to absorb a painful final-hurdle loss.

By the numbers: PSG's repeat follows their 2025 final win in Munich, with the 2026 final staged in Budapest. Arsenal last lined up in a Champions League final 20 years ago, in 2006, and are still chasing a maiden title in the competition.

What to watch: Focus turns to whether PSG can push for a third straight crown next season, while Arsenal regroup after falling short on Europe's biggest stage.
