Both teams score in Champions League final, a rarity unseen since 2018
Ousmane Dembélé’s equalizer against Arsenal (1-1, 65’) brought an end to an eight-year streak where only one team scored in Champions League finals.
The conversion of a penalty awarded to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia shortly after the hour mark in the Paris Saint-Germain versus Arsenal final marked a historic turning point. For eight consecutive years, Champions League finals had featured only one team scoring—until Dembélé’s strike erased that unbroken pattern.
Read aloud
The last time both finalists found the net was in 2018, when Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 3-1. Before that unusual streak, a similar eight-year gap had occurred between 1988 and 1996, when no Champions League final saw both teams score.
