<p><!-- Article Start -->Despite frantic, end-to-end exchanges across the remainder of regular time and a tense extra-time period, neither side could break the deadlock.</p>
<h2>Heartbreak for the Gunners</h2>
<p>The match ultimately shifted to a nerve-shredding penalty shootout, where the weight of expectations seemed to take its toll on the north London side.</p>
<p>While Declan Rice, Gabriel Martinelli, and Viktor Gyokeres successfully converted their spot-kicks, an earlier miss from Eberechi Eze left Arsenal with no margin for error.</p>
<p>PSG&#8217;s penalty takers remained clinical, leaving Gabriel with the monumental task of keeping Arsenal&#8217;s hopes alive.</p>
<p>His subsequent miss triggered wild celebrations from the PSG squad, who became just the second club in the modern Champions League era to retain the famous trophy.</p>

Gabriel misses his penalty ?</p>
<p>PSG WIN THE UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!! ?</p>

<p>Their Champions League campaign was also impressive, with Arsenal going unbeaten throughout the competition until the final, where they suffered their only defeat on penalties.</p>
<p>There is clear evidence of continued progress under Arteta, with the club now firmly established among Europe&#8217;s elite once again.</p>
