Despite the policemen’s attempts to reason with the soldiers, their pleas were dismissed, with one of the soldiers emphatically stating, “you are not on election duty. Go back!”

The soldier questioned, “Are they (policemen) supposed to be moving around during the election? They should instruct their principal to come down and explain to our boss.

“Today is not a day for ‘big men’ to be moving around. Let all politicians stay in their houses to go and vote.”

It took more than 30 minutes before the soldiers eventually permitted the passage of the policemen.

Despite intense efforts from both sides during the remainder of regulation and throughout extra time, neither team could find a winning goal.

The title was ultimately decided by penalties. In the shootout, PSG held their nerve, with Lucas Beraldo converting their final spot-kick. With Arsenal needing to score to force sudden death, defender Gabriel Magalhães sent his effort over the bar, sealing a 4-3 victory for the French side.
