Kai Gavertz once again achieved his goal of scoring in major matches. At the final of the Champions League for the 2025/26 season between the London Arsenal and the French Paris Saint-Germain, the German forward is already in the first stages, having once written his name into history.
Following his brilliant goal against the Parisians, the Gunners striker set two important statistical records at once: The first German among current Liza champions, who scored in two finals. We would like to remind you that in 2021 the team brought victory to London's Chelsea in the final match against Manchester City (1:0).
The hour of the old European Champions Cup was similar to that of the legends of Bayern Munich - Franz Roth and Gerd Muller.
The third player in history to score in the Champions League finals for two different clubs. Until now, only Cristiano Ronaldo (for Manchester United and Real Madrid) and Mario Mandzukic (for Bayern and Juventus) could boast of prestigious achievements..
Already on the sixth line, Gavertz intercepted a split pass from P'ero Incapie, quickly broke through the left flank and won a power fight against PSG defender Viljan Pacho. Having dodged to the penalty area, the forward forcefully punched under the crossbar from a tight corner - Parisian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov appeared powerless. For Arsenal, who is a rich underdog in the competition, this is simply an ominous cob of gris.
It is clear that literally before the starting whistle, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry gave a comment to Bild, who actually transferred such a development onto the field.
“He has this gift of scoring important goals,” Henri said before the final. — He consistently puts pressure on his superniks and does a wonderful job of reading the game for his extremely high football IQ. “You know your brain, so you can work successfully in absolutely different positions.”.
