Désiré Doué, Gonçalo Ramos, Declan Rice and Luis Enrique are among those to feature in our rolling round-up of all the reaction after Paris Saint-Germain won the 2026 UEFA Champions League final.
Désiré Doué, Paris forward: "We are so, so proud tonight. So happy, so grateful, also because it was a tough game against a very good team. So we have to congratulate them because they had a really good season. But now we just have to enjoy as a team, as a family, because I think we deserve it. We're going to enjoy it first and after, we're going to work and work again because we want more. We are really hungry. We are a young team, and we know we are really ambitious. So next season we have to go again."
Gonçalo Ramos, Paris forward: "It was very difficult. We have a lot of personality and we showed we are ready for everything. I am a striker and I'm always ready to take a penalty, even if it’s the first one. I wanted to be there in the big moments."
Declan Rice, Arsenal midfielder: "It's devastating to lose the Champions League final on penalties. We tried to take a lot of perspective from how far we've come as a group – it's been an incredible season and this was our 63rd game tonight. We've given it absolutely everything up to this point and it's a lottery – you either win on penalties or you lose on penalties. Some of the best teams ever have lost on penalties."
Luis Enrique, Paris coach: "The match started in the best way for them. After that, they know how to defend. It was very tough. We are used to attacking in that way with a lot of players behind the ball, but against them, they are strong physically, very tough. I think we deserve [it] – maybe today both teams deserved to win – but the way we played the whole season, I think we deserve to win the Champions League. We are very happy and trying to be there next year – why not?"
