PSG dominated throughout, ended the game with 75% possession, 21 shots, and three big chances created, a stark contrast to Arsenal’s game plan.

Speaking to M6 after the game, Neves was delighted PSG were able to get the win, slamming Arsenal’s tactics in the process.

"The emotion is there. It's the second time that I've been the champion of Europe. It's not even the victory that makes me happy, but playing with such teammates, staff, and management does,” he said. 

“Coming here was the best choice I made in my life. I love everything here. We deserved it today, because PSG was the only one who wanted to play.”
