Overview
- Arsenal and Paris Saint‑Germain played to a 1–1 draw that moved to penalties on Saturday after Kai Havertz scored early and Ousmane Dembélé converted a second‑half penalty.
- Hungarian authorities mounted what they called the biggest single‑day security operation in Budapest, deploying nearly 4,000 officers and opening a gang‑violence probe after pre‑match street brawls on Király Street.
- Security staff had to enter the stands at the Puskás Aréna to separate fighting PSG supporters and reports showed flares and bottles thrown inside the stadium.
- Referee Daniel Siebert and the VAR team waved away a first‑half handball appeal on Bukayo Saka and later awarded the Mosquera foul as a penalty, with former officials saying Mosquera avoided a red under current ‘double jeopardy’ guidance.
- French police also made checks and arrests near the Parc des Princes as ticketless fans tried to force entry and some Paris businesses boarded up windows, underscoring wider concerns about public order and how cities police major cross‑border finals.
