Toulouse triumphed over Leinster with a 31-22 victory in the Champions Cup final after extra time, securing their sixth European title. The match, held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, saw intense physicality and strategic play from both sides. Toulouse's Matthis Lebel scored the first try in extra time, capitalizing on Leinster's weakened defense. Antoine Dupont, named Player of the Match, delivered an outstanding performance, contributing crucially to Toulouse's win. Despite Leinster's dominance in possession and territory, they struggled to convert opportunities into points. Richie Arnold's red card for Toulouse added to the drama, but the French side held firm to clinch the title. This marks Leinster's third consecutive final defeat, all against French opposition.

Leinster's points per 22 entry stat can't make for good reading so far in this game. So many chances close to Toulouse's line.
Think Kinghorn has been very good so far for Toulouse. 3/4 from the tee, made a try-saving tackle on Sheehan and the power in his kicking has pinned Leinster back.
Think Kinghorn has been very good so far for Toulouse. 100% from the tee, made a try-saving tackle on Sheehan and the power in his kicking has pinned Leinster back.
A poor enough first half from Leinster but a couple of brilliant scrambles in D have them in it still. They have to start converting in attack though. Dominated territory and possession but left Toulouse 22 empty handed way too often. Amazing first half to watch.

Leinster with a few zero-point visits to the Toulouse 22 in quick succession. Need more composure down there.
Toulouse's defensive breakdown work is feral. Giving Leinster a taste of their own medicine.
