Gabriel Magalhaes has opened up on the "painful" experience of missing the decisive penalty in Arsenal's Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The Brazilian defender saw his effort fly over the bar in Budapest, handing the French giants their second consecutive European crown. Despite the personal heartbreak, the centre-back remains defiant and proud of the Gunners' historic season.
Arsenal legend Martin Keown has urged Mikel Arteta to be ruthless in the transfer market following the club's heartbreaking Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Despite clinching the Premier League title, a 4-3 penalty shootout loss to the French giants in Budapest has sparked predictions of fresh reinforcements, with questions raised over whether the Gunners need an upgrade on new signing Viktor Gyokeres.
The European club season drew to a dramatic conclusion on Saturday, with Paris Saint-Germain defeating Arsenal on penalties to retain their Champions League crown. Not since Real Madrid nearly a decade ago had anyone successfully defended the title, making his a truly momentous night for Luis Enrique's men. However, defeat shouldn't take any of the shine off Arsenal's historic campaign, with the Gunners having won the Premier League for the first time in 22 years.
Chelsea have jokingly claimed they "deserve another red card" after brutally mocking Arsenal following their Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The Blues waste no time in reminding their north London rivals of the continental hierarchy shortly after Mikel Arteta's side fell at the final hurdle in Budapest.
Apart from the UEFA Champions League final, you cannot buy tickets for the Champions League directly through UEFA itself.
Instead, they are sold club-by-club among the teams competing in this year's edition. You must visit the individual club’s website for the fixture you want to attend and buy your seat from there.
Capacity is always limited for these Champions League knockout matches, and demand often exceeds available allocation.
Will I be able to buy Champions League tickets through secondary sites?
In addition, fans can purchase seats on the secondary market. StubHub is one of the leading retailers for those seeking to buy tickets through alternative channels.
