Viktor Gyökeres var den förste svenske finalspelaren på herrsidan på 20 år men inledde som avbytare när Arsenal mötte Paris SG i Champions League-finalen.

Tränaren Mikel Arteta valde att starta med Kai Havertz längst fram i London-klubbens laguppställning på Puskás Aréna i Budapest. Gyökeres byttes in i den 66:e minuten när Martin Ødegaard klev av.

Paris SG vann matchen efter straffar och blev därmed kvar som regerande mästare. Det är 20 år sedan Sverige senast hade en spelare i finalen på herrsidan, då Henrik Larsson avgjorde för Barcelona mot Arsenal 2006.
