PSG 2-1 Arsenal (3-1 agg): Gunners’ Champions League dreams are dashed in Paris, as Luis Enrique’s ruthless side set up final against Inter Milan
Arsenal’s Champions League dream is over after a ruthlessly efficient PSG performance saw the French side advance to the final.
Mikel Arteta’s men had their chances but, like in the first leg, their opponents were more clinical in front of goal.
Arsenal forced three sensational saves from Gianluigi Donnarumma in a brilliant start but were sucker-punched when Fabian smashed home the opener.
A controversial handball decision gave Vitinha the chance to put PSG three up in the tie but his weak penalty was saved by David Raya.
It mattered little, as moments later, Achraf Hakimi latched onto a loose ball in the box to smash home and put Luis Enrique’s side 3-0 up on aggregate. Bukayo Saka then gave the Gunners a sliver of hope with a goal but missed a sitter shortly after that, with the visitors unable to set up a grandstand finish.
