Paris Saint-GermainMatvey Safonov Appeared to forget that goalkeepers are allowed to use their hands for Havertz’s strike. Didn’t get near any penalties in shootout but didn’t need to. 6Achraf Hakimi Wasn’t 100% fit after coming back from a month out with a thigh injury and couldn’t have the same influence he usually does. 7Nuno Mendes Arsenal thought they should have had a penalty in extra time after an incident with Madueke. Weak penalty in shootout saved by Raya. 6Marquinhos The PSG captain could do nothing about the unfortunate deflection for opening goal. Probably didn’t expect to be substituted, however. 7Willian Pacho Came off second best for most of his ding-dong battle with Havertz but recovered to make some key blocks in extra time. 7Fabián Ruiz Should have been booked in first minute for throwing the ball away and lacked his usual composure in central midfield. 6Vitinha The heartbeat of PSG’s midfield was everywhere as usual. Should have done better with a great chance to win and wasn’t happy to be taken off in extra time. 8Vitinha battles for the ball with Declan Rice during an all-action display. Photograph: Petr Josek/APJoão Neves The Portugal midfielder was unsettled by physicality of his battle with Lewis-Skelly but didn’t give up and played a key role. 8Désiré Doué Seemed to get frustrated early on at being double marked by Hincapié and Trossard. Much improved after the break as PSG stepped things up. 9Ousmane Dembélé Last year’s Ballon d’Or winner flitted in and out of the game but helped to create the penalty and ruthlessly dispatched it into the bottom corner. 7Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Grew in influence after an uncharacteristically slow start. The Georgian’s jinking feet forced Mosquera to concede the penalty before later striking the woodwork. 8Substitutes: Bradley Barcola (for Kvaratskhelia, 84) Express pace almost resulted in two goals at end of normal time. 6; Gonçalo Ramos (for Dembélé, 90+6) Couldn’t get much change out of Saliba and Gabriel. 6; Warren Zaïre-Emery (for Ruiz, 95) Gave PSG extra legs in midfield. 6; Lucas Beraldo (for Vitinha, 105) Cool penalty in shootout. 7; Illia Zabarnyi (for Marquinhos, 105) N/AWilliam Saliba leaves Fabián Ruiz behind during a polished performance.

Could do nothing to stop Dembélé equalising from spot and came close to being Arsenal’s hero in the shootout. 7Cristhian Mosquera Preferred to Timber and kept Kvaratskhelia quiet in first half. But clumsily gave away penalty and was hooked after escaping a second booking. 6Gabriel Magalhães Two outstanding goal-saving tackles in the first half and set the tone for Arsenal throughout. But will always be remembered for the skied penalty in shootout. 7William Saliba So reliable defensively and a class act in possession. The France defender never looks ruffled, even when facing the best attack in world football. 8Piero Hincapié Got the better of his man Doué in their personal duel on several occasions and also provided the occasional attacking threat. 7Myles Lewis-Skelly More than justified his selection ahead of Zubimendi. A critical block to deflect Kvaratskhelia’s shot on to a post and never stopped running. 8Declan Rice Sacrificed his attacking instincts for the good of the team and made some key tackles. Almost punished by Barcola for losing the ball with last act of normal time. 7Martin Ødegaard The captain helped to frustrate PSG in the first half without offering much going forward. Still a surprise to see him substituted straight after the equaliser. 6Kai Havertz gives Arsenal an early lead and led the line well throughout. Photograph: Mickael Chavet/ZUMA Press Wire/ShutterstockBukayo Saka Not his most effective performance in attack, even if it was clear that PSG were always wary of his threat and did his job in defensive rearguard. 7Kai Havertz Took his goal – the second he has scored in a Champions League final – beautifully and led the line impressively throughout. 8Leandro Trossard Didn’t know much about his assist for Havertz’s goal and showed some nice touches. Ran out of steam after the break. 6Substitutes: Jurriën Timber (for Mosquera, 66) Almost got on the end of one cross but had his hands full with Barcola. 6; Viktor Gyökeres (for Ødegaard, 66) Shot deflected wide in extra-time was only sight of goal apart from penalty in shootout. 6; Gabriel Martinelli (for Trossard, 83) Wasted great opportunity to set up Madueke with heavy pass. Excellent penalty. 7; Noni Madueke (for Saka, 83) Couldn’t believe he wasn’t awarded a penalty after burst into the area. 7; Eberechi Eze (for Havertz, 91) Little impact in extra-time and a nervous penalty. 5; Martín Zubimendi (for Lewis-Skelly, 91) A steadying influence when he came on for extra time. 6
