Arsenal used an offensively defensive game plan that pressed early and then choked space to neutralize PSG’s counter-attacking threat. PSG’s front three—Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia—plus midfielders João Neves, Vitinha, and Fabián Ruiz moved in coordinated patterns into open areas. Arsenal’s defense was described as the continent’s best by a sizable margin, making PSG’s attack feel futile. Despite this, PSG overcame an early 1-0 deficit, leveled the match, and won in a penalty shootout that was also criticized as poor.
