Kai Havertz Scores Again in Ucl Score Final for Arsenal
Kai Havertz scored his second goal in a UEFA Champions League final, and Arsenal led PSG at Puskas Arena in the ucl score moment that put him in rare company. He has now scored in both of his Champions League final appearances, a run that places him alongside a small group of players with goals in multiple finals.
Havertz at Puskas Arena
Havertz, the Arsenal striker, did what he had done before on the biggest European stage: he delivered in a final. His goal gave Arsenal the lead over PSG and added another final strike to his record after the title-clinching goal he scored for Chelsea against Manchester City in the 2021 UEFA Champions League final.
That 2021 goal decided the trophy for Chelsea. This one came with Arsenal in front at Puskas Arena, and it extended a résumé that now shows two finals, two goals, and two different clubs. Few players leave a Champions League final with that kind of line beside their name.
Messi and Ronaldo records
The comparison that follows Havertz is straightforward. Lionel Messi has two Champions League final goals, both against Manchester United. He scored in Barcelona’s 2009 win in Rome and then scored the game-winner at Wembley in the 2011 final, a 3-1 victory for Barcelona. Messi also played in the 2015 final, when Barcelona beat Juventus 3-1, but he did not score.
Messi’s final scoring total came across three Champions League finals, even though he won four titles. He missed the 2005-06 final with a muscle injury, so the final appearances never matched the title count. Cristiano Ronaldo sits above him in final goals with four, split between one for Manchester United and three for Real Madrid.
Short list of final scorers
Havertz has also joined Ronaldo among players to score in two finals for different teams. The list of players with two Champions League final goals also includes Samuel Eto’o, Sergio Ramos and Desire Doue, while Gareth Bale has three final goals. For Arsenal, the immediate gain is the lead Havertz provided against PSG, and for Havertz the broader mark is simple: he has now scored in every Champions League final he has played.
