Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured its second UEFA Champions League title after defeating Arsenal in the 2026 final, moving the French club into a select group of multiple European champions and updating the competition's all-time winners list.

According to UEFA records, Real Madrid remains the most successful club in Champions League history with 15 titles, far ahead of AC Milan's seven. Liverpool and Bayern Munich follow with six crowns each, while Barcelona has won five.

PSG's latest triumph lifts the club to two Champions League titles, placing it alongside historic European powers including Chelsea, Juventus, Porto, Benfica and Nottingham Forest. The victory marks another milestone in PSG's transformation from a dominant domestic force into a consistent contender on Europe's biggest stage.

The updated rankings highlight the enduring dominance of a handful of clubs. Real Madrid's record haul accounts for nearly one-quarter of all European Cup and Champions League titles awarded since the competition began in 1955. The Spanish giants have also won more finals than any other club.

England remains one of the competition's most successful nations, with clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and Manchester City combining for multiple titles. Italy's AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus have likewise played a major role in shaping the tournament's history.

PSG's latest success is particularly significant for French football. Before the Paris club's emergence, Marseille's 1993 triumph stood as France's only European Cup victory. With two titles now to its name, PSG has become the country's most successful club in the competition.

UEFA says the Champions League is still the most prestigious club tournament in world football, attracting hundreds of millions of viewers globally each season. The competition's rich history, legendary finals and elite clubs continue to make lifting the trophy one of the sport's greatest achievements.

The issue was discussed on the sidelines of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Vilnius, where several officials linked the incident to Russia while others avoided mentioning it altogether.

NATO Deputy Secretary General Radmila Shekerinska described the event as "reckless behaviour" by Russia.

Portuguese representative Marcos Perestrello also placed responsibility on Moscow.

"Whether caused by deliberate violation, reckless military activity near a light border, or the spillover effects of Russian actions, the responsibility lies with Russia," he said.

Several senior figures, including Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda and European Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius, did not address the incident in their public remarks. Kubilius did, however, acknowledge concerns about Europe's defence capabilities.

"Russia still out produces European Union and really heavily out produces," he said.

On Friday, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte criticised what he described as Russia's "recklessness" and said the alliance would defend "every inch" of allied territory. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Russia had "crossed yet another line".

Later the same day, Romanian President Nicosur Dan provided a different account of the incident.

"When drones had passed over the territory of Ukraine , some of them were shot down, and one of them was probably hit over the city of Reni. His (the drone's) trajectory changed, and he hit Galati," Dan said.

Asked what caused the change in direction, he said the drone was "hit kinetically" and was "shot down" by Ukraine.

Romania's Defence Ministry also stated that the incident was "not an attack" on the country.

Speaking at the Eurasian Economic Union Forum in Astana, Russian President Vladimir Putin urged caution over assigning responsibility before the facts are established.

"No one can determine the origin of any aircraft until an investigation has been conducted," Putin said.
