UCL: Arsenal create record after losing final to PSG

Arsenal on Saturday created a record after losing the Champions League final to Paris Saint-Germain.

Recall that Luis Enrique’s side defeated the Gunners on penalty shoot-out after a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes.

The goals of the match were scored by Kai Havertz and Ousmane Dembele during regular time.

However, according to OptaJoe, Arsenal remains the team with the most games (226) in Champions League history to never lift the trophy.

This record follows their 2006 and 2026 final defeats, maintaining their status without a premier European title.

Meanwhile, Arsenal’s possession average (24.7%) was the lowest by a team in a Champions League final on record (since 2003-04), as well as their lowest in any match under manager Mikel Arteta, where they had 11 men on the pitch throughout.
