Beraldo makes history! Cotia product nets PSG winner, breaks UCL record | OneFootball

Center-back Beraldo, developed in São Paulo’s youth academy, shone once again for France’s PSG and made history. The youngster took — and took very well — his team’s final penalty against Arsenal, sealing a 4-3 win in the shootout after a 1-1 draw. With that, the Paris side won back-to-back Champions League titles this Saturday (30).

Left out of Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad list, Beraldo came on for the final 15 minutes of extra time and also took responsibility for PSG’s fifth penalty, firing a precise shot into the corner. He then watched compatriot Gabriel Magalhães — who is set to play in the World Cup — blaze the English side’s kick over the bar.

Besides scoring the title-winning penalty for the Paris club, Lucas Beraldo also made history by becoming the youngest Brazilian, at 22, to win two UEFA Champions League titles, surpassing Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.

Beraldo joined Tricolor when he was just 15 and went on to make his senior debut in 2022, at 18 years old. The following season, he had already become an undisputed starter, playing a key role in São Paulo’s historic 2023 Copa do Brasil triumph.

He caught the attention of big-spending PSG, who signed him for 20 million euros at the start of 2024. At his new club, he keeps piling up titles, with 11 in total, including two Champions League crowns.
