Many images marked Saturday evening in Budapest, where PSG won their second consecutive Champions League against Arsenal (1-1, 4-3 tab). There was obviously the joy of the Parisians, the fair play gesture of Marquinhos who came to comfort Gabriel after his missed shot on goal or even Presnel Kimpembe invited – almost forced, even – to lift the trophy.
A trophy that almost fell into the “wrong” hands. While tradition dictates that it is the captain who brandishes the cup, Aleksander Ceferin almost made a huge blunder during the ceremony. In the euphoria, after handing over their medals to the players, the UEFA president was close to handing over the Champions League to… Ousmane Dembélé.
Aleksander Ceferin almost skipped Marquinhos
Always lucid, as on the equalizing penalty that he scored in the second half (65e), the 2025 Ballon d’Or told the leader of the European body that Marquinhos was arriving just behind him. Enough to make Aleksander Ceferin smile, who then headed towards the Brazilian defender of Paris Saint-Germain. A funny sequence in this legendary night.
