Psg arsenal 1-1 draw sealed by dembele’s late penalty
The hopes of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) fans remained alive until the final whistle. After conceding an early goal in the sixth minute from Havertz, and a subdued first hour, the Parisians found their rhythm through a decisive penalty kick in the UEFA Champions League final.
Dembélé turns the tide with a precise penalty
Ousmane Dembélé, one of PSG’s standout performers, stepped up to the spot in the 65th minute. With composure and precision, he sent David Raya diving to his right, restoring parity at 1-1 and reigniting the intensity of the match.
A contentious penalty decision
The spot-kick was awarded following a challenge by Arsenal defender Mosquera on Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Mosquera, already cautioned with a yellow card, narrowly avoided a second booking and was promptly substituted by Arsenal manager Arteta in the aftermath of the incident.
