UCL Champions: The adidas Stars Who Won Europe's Biggest Night

🗓️

PSG are back-to-back UEFA Champions League winners. In a Budapest thriller that went to extra time and penalties, the Parisians outlasted Arsenal 4-3 on spot kicks after a 1-1 draw.

The decisive moment? A penalty drawn by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and buried by Ousmane Dembélé — the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner — in the 65th minute. Both wearing adidas. Both in the F50.

That's the story of this final. Not just who won — but what they were wearing on their feet. Because from the wings to the midfield, on both sides of the pitch, adidas was everywhere at Puskas Arena.

Final Score

PSG 1–1 Arsenal (AET) — PSG win 4–3 on penalties · Budapest, 30 May 2026


adidas F50 Elite — The Boot That Won the UCL

Kvaratskhelia drives into the Arsenal box. He goes down. Penalty. Dembélé steps up and plants it in the corner. Game tied at 1-1. PSG never look back. Two adidas F50 athletes. One boot. One moment that changed the final.

Three of PSG's most dangerous attackers wore the F50 throughout this Champions League run: Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, and Barcola. On the Arsenal side, Gabriel Martinelli — their most direct and penetrative threat all tournament — wore it too. In a final played at the absolute limit of pace and precision, the F50 was on both wings.

The F50 Elite is built for one thing: speed. A thin Fibertouch upper with Sprintweb 3D texture keeps the ball close at full sprint. The Sprintframe 360 outsole snaps into acceleration. There's no unnecessary material here — just the boot and the ground.

adidas Predator Elite — The Captain's Boot

There's a subplot to this final most people missed. Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard walked out at Puskas Arena wearing adidas Predators — boots he only started wearing publicly in late 2025, after ending a long partnership with another brand. New deal. New boot. UCL Final. No pressure.

Ødegaard wasn't the only Predator on the pitch. Jurriën Timber, Arsenal's right back, wore them throughout the tournament. Between them they covered enormous ground — Timber bombing forward, Ødegaard dictating tempo — and the Predator held up at both ends of the pitch.

The Predator Elite is built for control. Rubber Strikeskin fins on the forefoot improve contact on every pass, shot, and set piece. The HybridTouch upper is flexible but grippy. The Controlframe 2.0 outsole keeps you stable when it matters. It's the technically-minded player's boot — the one who wants to feel the ball, not just kick it.

adidas Copa Pure 3 Elite — Built for the Technicians

Fabián Ruiz ran PSG's midfield all night. Declan Rice did the same for Arsenal. Same position. Same role. Same boot — the adidas Copa Pure 3 Elite. Two of the best midfielders in Europe. One boot between them.

The Copa is the touch boot. It's not for players who need grip rubber and fins — it's for players who want to feel every pass, every first touch, every strike. The Fusionskin upper combines PRIMEKNIT with a genuine leather forefoot, so the boot moves with your foot and gives you real feedback on the ball.

The OrthoLite sockliner and padded heel keep you comfortable over 90+ minutes. The Comfortframe outsole is solid on firm ground without being stiff. If you play football the way Ruiz and Rice do — always available, always composed — this is your boot.
