Viktor Gyökeres was the first Swedish player in a men's final in 20 years but started as a substitute when Arsenal faced Paris SG in the Champions League final.

Coach Mikel Arteta chose to start with Kai Havertz up front in the London club's lineup at Puskás Aréna in Budapest. Gyökeres was brought on in the 66th minute when Martin Ødegaard came off.

Paris SG won the match on penalties and remained the defending champions. It is 20 years since Sweden last had a player in a men's final, when Henrik Larsson decided the outcome for Barcelona against Arsenal in 2006.

The information comes from reports in Sydsvenskan and Nerikes Allehanda.
