Morgan Rogers would be a classic Mikel Arteta signing: versatile, powerful, Premier League-proven and with a great injury record (109 club appearances in the last two seasons). Story with @JPercyTelegraph on the latest, as we understand it.

These are the standards. This is the level

Supporters at the parade are being encouraged by authorities to really spread out around the route and not congregate in the same areas

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

Arsenal are a very, very good team. They won the league because of exceptional resilience, structure, consistency and a world-class defensive unit. My personal view is that, if they are to now become a truly outstanding side, they need more elite-level forwards.

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

Arteta: "We start to make some very important decisions if we want to reach another level. And we're going to have to show that ambition. We are more than capable of doing it, but it's going to demand us to be very, very ambitious, very fast and very smart."

Arteta on Gabriel: "He wanted to take the fifth penalty. We have prepared and trained this moment."

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

Of all the players on the pitch, Gabriel is the one who least deserved to miss the decisive penalty.

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

At the start of this season, Arteta described Hincapie as a "warrior". He's going to need all of those qualities in the remaining 15 minutes. Clearly in a lot of pain. He's not moving comfortably at all.

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

Arteta and Rice both booked for protesting against the decision not to award a penalty. Arsenal fans chanting: "How much are they paying you?"

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

Big contrast in approaches before extra time. Most of the PSG players are sitting down, with Luis Enrique not saying much. On the other side, Arteta is giving a team talk in a huddle.

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

Mosquera had done so well in the first half but it only takes one moment of hesitation against a team of PSG's quality. Lost his man for a split-second and that was enough. He had been booked harshly earlier but was potentially a bit lucky to avoid a second yellow? Timber on.

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

Sensational first-half performance by Saliba and Gabriel. They're playing like two men who know a Champions League victory secures their status as the best defensive duo in the world.

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

Huge cheers from the Arsenal fans as Mosquera tackles Kvaratskhelia and wins a throw-in. Not the first successful challenge Mosquera has made in this first half.

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

This season Kai Havertz has scored the 90th-minute winner v Chelsea (Carabao Cup), the 90th-minute equaliser v Leverkusen, the 90th-minute winner v Sporting, the winner in the crucial league game v Burnley and now in the Champions League final. Clutch.

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

Kai Havertz. Loves a Champions League final.
