PSG came out on top in a tense final in Budapest on Saturday night‚ beating Arsenal on penalties after the game had finished 1-1 after extra time.

Still‚ he was a part of the winning team‚ having received an offer from adult actress Mary Rock.
Watch: Dream start for Arsenal as Kai Havertz scores six minutes into the final with a thumping finish
After a weekend of controversial refereeing decisions‚ it seems Arsenal may have been given a helping hand of their own. In their crunch clash against Burnley - a game in which their 1-0 victory moved them within touching distance of a first Premier League title in more than two decades - they were let off the hook when Kai Havertz brought down Lesley Ugochukwu just as the visitors were launching a counterattack.
OLIVER HOLT AT THE EMIRATES: And then there was one. Just one more obstacle for Arsenal. Just one more ordeal. Just one more river to cross. Crystal Palace await in south London on Sunday afternoon and if Arsenal win there‚ the Premier League title will be theirs. It does not matter what Manchester City do against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday evening. It does not matter what they do against Aston Villa on Sunday at the Etihad. If Arsenal hold their nerve one last time at Selhurst Park‚ the title will be theirs. They only scraped past relegated Burnley at the Emirates. They crawled over the line courtesy of a majestic first half header from Kai Havertz from a Bukayo Saka corner. Maybe some will call them Set Piece FC again but they will not care about that.

Arsenal remain without Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber as they continue their charge for the Premier League title against Fulham on Saturday. 'Let's see how everybody is tomorrow morning‚ obviously‚ we haven't been able to train much‚ so tomorrow we will have a final update‚' Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said. 'Kai and Jurrien will be out.'
ISAAN KHAN AT THE EMIRATES: As a dejected Kai Havertz slowly ambled down the Emirates tunnel‚ a fragment of Arsenal's title challenge flew into the abyss. Off the ball‚ the German had sat on his haunches with a despondent look. It was the expression of a man sensing that his day on the pitch was up - and maybe his season‚ too. Mikel Arteta afterwards said on Eberechi Eze‚ who hobbled off‚ and Havertz: 'They are muscular niggles. We don't think it's too much. We have to wait and see if they're going to be available for Wednesday (against Atletico Madrid).'
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has issued a warning to Manchester City following their exuberant celebrations in the aftermath of their 2-1 victory over Arsenal on Sunday. The scores were level at half-time in an edgy game at the Etihad‚ with Rayan Cherki giving City the lead in the first half before Kai Havertz capitalised on a mistake from Gianluigi Donnarumma two minutes later. But City were in the driver's seat after the break and Erling Haaland's restored their advantage in the 65th minute‚ and Havertz missed a late chance to level the tie.
Keane and Co watched on for Sky Sports at the Etihad on Sunday as Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland scored to ensure City moved to within three points of the Gunners in the title race‚ despite Gianluigi Donnarumma's error that gifted Kai Havertz a first-half equaliser. City are now‚ for some‚ favourites to win the Premier League‚ which would see them pinch glory from an Arsenal side that has been top of the tree for so much of the season in their bid to win a domestic title for the first time in 22 years. The Gunners were decent in the loss‚ yet fell to defeat for the second Premier League game in a row. They have five games remaining‚ and City have six.
