PSG win back-to-back Champions League finals, downing Arsenal on penalties to lift Europe's biggest prize

"Back to back like this, we never thought [It would happen], but we worked, and I think we deserve it. If you watch, we were the best game on the pitch," Vitinha said. 

It's an impressive feat, and Vitinha was at the middle of all of it for his club. He immediately wanted to talk about the team and what they did together. Vitinha described Luis Enrique as the main character of the team, and that's one of the things that makes PSG just so special. 

Luis Enrique cements legacy as PSG wins back-to-back Champions League titles

Arsenal didn't put a step wrong defensively, but sometimes the ball doesn't go your way.

It's clear that PSG have forged a unit under Luis Enrique, and the joy around them all is clear as they lift their manager in celebration. It's special stuff.

This will certainly be just as sweet for PSG as last season, as they're entering rare territory going back-to-back winning the Champions League before most members of the team fly out to begin World Cup preparations. 

Keeping it unconventional, Gabriel is Arsenal's fifth taker, and he shoots it way over the bar, giving PSG their second consecutive UCL title.

Lucas Beraldo is quite an interesting fifth taker for PSG, but he makes no mistake sending Raya the wrong way.

Gabriel Martinelli hits with power into the top corner, and we're entering sudden death territory. 

Achraf Hakimi makes up for his prior misses and sends Raya the wrong way to bring PSG back ahead.

Declan Rice is cool from the spot, returning to the bottom right corner that every kick has gone into and levels this.

David Raya stands tall! He saves Nuno Mendes' take just when Arsenal needed something from the spot to push Eze's miss out of their memory.

Eze steps up and brings the first miss of the tie after a strange stutter step run up. He tries to outwit the keeper and sends his take wide of everything.

Desire Doue's take goes into the same corner and when will someone go left?

In a massive moment, Viktor Gyokeres mirrors Ramos' take to the exact same result. 

Goncalo Ramos sends David Raya the wrong way, and PSG are off to a strong start.

Goncalo Ramos will kick this shootout off.

For the first time since 2016, a Champions League final will be decided by a penalty shootout. This will be quite a match as both sides are on even footing, but it will come down to mentality and the goalkeepers' form here. 

The most Arsenal way possible to win would be from a corner kick, and they have a chance.

Just 12 minutes of soccer remain. Arsenal have a free kick that Declan Rice will deliver into the box, but it was well handled as PSG will go back on the offensive in the match. The pace has slowed down, but this is still anyone's game. 

Arsenal fans wanted a penalty when Noni Madueke went down in the box, but it was a good no-call on that occasion. We'll go to the second period of extra time as this tie continues on. Players are leaving it all on the pitch, but PSG have subs left, and this is the time to make them.

The champs are getting weirdly sloppy right now. The one thing you wouldn't expect from them is passes going astray and moves that meander to nowhere but that's what we're getting. Arsenal, meanwhile, just don't have the technical authority at the top end of the pitch to exploit this weird set of events.

They received an extra sub for extra time, and Eberechi Eze and Martin Zubimendi will enter for Myles Lewis-Skelly and Kai Havertz, giving Mikel Arteta his XI for the remainder of the game. PSG still has four subs available at this stage so there could be more changes to come.

The full-time whistle has blown, and Bradley Barcola's shot couldn't find the net, so we'll have two periods of extra time followed by penalties if needed. This has been a serious chess match, and it's only fitting that it will continue. 

Ousmane Dembele won't be able to continue, and Goncalo Ramos is getting ready to enter to close out the match, but it will be quite a wait for a stoppage to get him in.

It's another PSG chance, this one by Vitinha as we're inching into stoppage time in Budapest. There will be more stoppage time in the clash, but we're set for 30 more minutes of soccer as things stand. 

And it's a big one from Luis Enrique. Khvich Kvaraskelia has been mostly anonymous in the match outside of drawing the penalty to bring PSG level, but Bradley Barcola will enter. With his first touch of the game, Barcola was almost in on goal, but it was picked off his feet by David Raya in excellent goalkeeping.

Suddenly, this feels like PSG's game to lose. It's opening up, and with it, so are counterattacks. Arsenal clearly don't want to play for extra time, which favors the depth of PSG, and they've made two subs so far, with Viktor Gyokeres also entering. Arsenal have come out of their shell, but now PSG have taken five shots to their one in the second half. 10 minutes remain for one of those to find the back of the net as Arsenal readies more changes.

Arsenal have been excellent in their individual duels, but when PSG are controlling so much possession, it's only a matter of time until it leads to a mistake being made. Mosquera is now out of the match with Jurrien Timber looking to settle the match down, but momentum is now on PSG's side in the clash.

Mosquera goes in on Kvaratskhelia, and it's not called on the field, but this will go to VAR. This feels like a pen but we shall see.

They were able to get their first shot on target in the second half much earlier than in the first, but unfortunately, it was a tame free kick from Achraf Hakimi. It's a better start, and now two Arsenal players are on yellow cards in the early going of the half. This will be quite a finish in Budapest. 

Cristhian Mosquera has been booked, and as he's tasked with defending Kvaratskhelia, that will be something to watch as Arteta may want to make a change around 60 minutes or so.
