Saturday evening in Budapest’s Puskas Arena echoed with the chants of thousands of Paris Saint-Germain supporters. It’s not hard to understand why. Just one year after their triumphant parade following the victory over Inter Milan in Munich, this final in Hungary proved far more dramatic.

“i was terrified until the penalty kick”

“I was on the edge of my seat for the entire first half, right up until the penalty. I couldn’t take it anymore,” admitted Victor, visibly relieved. “All around me, I was surrounded by Arsenal fans.”

Beside him, Julien focused only on the outcome. “We managed to create chances in the second half, earned the penalty, and now we have our second star. We’re European champions. Unbelievable! I don’t even have the words,” he said, beaming with pride.

a second star for the capital

The second Champions League trophy elevates Paris Saint-Germain into the elite tier of European football. David, who attended the match with his son, struggled to grasp the magnitude of what he was witnessing. “We’re living through something historic,” he shared. “These are club memories that will last forever. I think we’ll truly realize it once we’re back in Paris, but right now, this is definitely the golden era of PSG.”

“we’re experiencing the best years of psg’s history. there’s a certain cycle, and we’re right in the middle of it — and we’re making the most of it.”

David, a PSG supporter

Alexandre, who watched the entire match from behind the goal where every pivotal moment unfolded, felt the same disbelief. “As a supporter, I lived the ultimate match. Witnessing a Champions League final is a dream come true, but doing so in the stadium with Paris? That’s even more special. And winning it? One of the greatest days of my life.”

Samir saw it as more than just a victory — it was a form of vindication. “We’ve faced so much criticism over the years, through all the struggles and battles. I understand others have had different kinds of hardships, but for us, this is our kind of revenge. I’m nearly 50 and I never got to see the likes of Dahleb or Sušić in action… but this? This is incredible to experience.”

Mathieu, still seated in the stands he found hard to leave, echoed the sentiment. “I never thought I’d live to see this day,” he confessed, visibly moved. “I was in Munich last year, and now I’m in Budapest — and PSG is making history.”

As they exited the stadium, some supporters were already dreaming of a potential three-peat — a feat only achieved by Real Madrid, Ajax, and Bayern Munich in European football history.
