Arsenal recorded their lowest-ever possession percentage in a Champions League final, a statistic tracked since the 2003/04 season. In the decisive trophy clash against Paris Saint-Germain, which ended 1-1 in regular time and 3-4 after a penalty shootout favoring the Parisians, the Gunners held possession for a mere 24.7% of the playing time. This marks the worst figure registered in a tournament final since the 2003/04 campaign.
The statistics further reveal that Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side has never before recorded such a low possession percentage in a match where they played with a full squad for the entire duration.
Throughout the entire match, the Gunners managed 8 shots, with only one on target – Kai Havertz's goal.
Arsenal ultimately fell short of lifting the trophy, despite remaining undefeated in regular time throughout the entire tournament. The team topped their group stage with a perfect 24 points. In the round of 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals, the Londoners secured one win and one draw in each tie.
