After a Champions League final of contrasting styles in which neither team exerted their dominance, a penalty shootout was a predictably inevitable way to decide the winner.Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain had just played out a tense 120 minutes of football, with both teams scoring once. It was time for spot kicks.But who starred in the shootout? Who performed an honourable sporting gesture? And who didn’t really do their job but ended up on the winning side?These are all the details from Paris Saint-Germain’s dramatic 4-3 victory on penalties — and Arsenal’s heartache.After an intolerably anxious end to extra time, the tension was about to reach unbearable levels with a penalty shootout to decide the winner.Neither team exactly skipped off to the touchline with a spring in their step — the exhausted players trudged off the field with heavy legs and heavier minds. Achraf Hakimi stretched cramp out of his leg and was helped to his feet by Declan Rice. Noni Madueke sat on the turf breathing heavily for a number of seconds and would be the last Arsenal player to join the rest of the group, while Piero Hincapie sank to his knees and prayed.Declan Rice helps Achraf Hakimi (Michael Regan – UEFA/UEFA via Getty Images)One man was in a rush, though — PSG keeper Matvey Safonov jogged straight to the bench and sat next to one of their staff, who began showing him directions for Arsenal penalty-takers on an iPad. The plan was to write this information down on a piece of paper for Safonov to take with him, but the pen didn’t work, leading to some furious scribbling on the paper to get the ink to run, while the Russian looked on with slight bemusement.There will have been confidence in the PSG camp. Safanov last year saved four penalties in a row in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final victory against Flamengo, despite fracturing his left hand.PSG had also won all five of their penalty shoot-outs under Luis Enrique, including three this season.Matvey Safonov being talked through Arsenal’s penalties (TNT Sports)Meanwhile, Arsenal back-up ‘keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga headed straight onto the pitch to speak to David Raya and guide him back to the dugout with his arm around the Spaniard’s shoulder.Raya’s legs were then each massaged by two different members of staff while he too received penalty instructions, intently studying a piece of paper as a supportive Kepa hovered over them.As the Arsenal outfield players huddled together, Rice cooled himself down with a huge ice pack which straddled over his back and his chest, like he was wearing a sandwich board of ice. Mikel Arteta called the players in tighter, counting on his fingers as he gave a series of pointed messages. As the group dispersed, Arteta was looking at Noni Madueke (who wasn’t down to take one of the first five penalties) and tapped his hand on his cheek.Declan Rice with his ice (TNT Sports)Arteta then turned to Viktor Gyokeres — Arsenal’s first penalty taker — clasping both hands around the back of his neck and pulling him in to kiss him on the cheek, before hugging Gabriel Martinelli and Eberechi Eze, who would take Arsenal’s fourth and second penalties respectively.Luis Enrique was more animated in the PSG huddle, cajoling the players, some of whom clapped and roared as the huddle dispersed. Nuno Mendes, who will be the only PSG player not to convert his spot kick, received treatment to his upper right thigh.German referee Daniel Siebert gathered the two captains, Rice and Hakimi, together, with the pair warmly embracing with a handshake and an arm around each other’s back.The first coin toss was to choose which end the penalties would be taken at — and when the coin landed on whichever end Siebert had dictated would be the PSG end, Hakimi turned to his fans, fist raised, generating a huge roar from the French contingent as Rice placed his hands on his hips.
