⏪ PSG down Arsenal to reach first UCL final since 2020 | OneFootball

Thanks for following along with us tonight and return for coverage of the Champions League final on Saturday, 31 May.

FULL TIME - PSG 2-1 ARSENAL (agg 3-1)

That's it! PSG get over the line and end their five-year wait to play in the Champions League final. It's heartbreak for Arteta's spirited Arsenal, who produced their best European performance since the 2008/09 campaign.

Into added time now and PSG are holding the ball in the corner already. The home crowd don't seem to mind as they're still on their feet and roaring Les Parisiens on.

The sting has gone out of the game after a hectic 20-minute spell, which will suit PSG down to the ground.

CHANCE PSG

PSG's turn now and substitute Ousmane Dembélé lines up a shot on the edge of the area and forces Raya into a strong save.

BIG CHANCE FOR SAKA

Saka's in the right place again to connect with another low cross that evades Donnarumma. The forward has an empty net in front of him but somehow blazes over from close range.

GOAL ARSENAL

Hold on a minute! Arsenal get a goal back as Saka latches on to a deflected cross, rounds Donnarumma and taps into the net. 3-1 to PSG on aggregate.

GOAL PSG!

Another belter! Hakimi receives the ball just inside the penalty area and lets fly straight into the bottom corner, giving the diving Raya absolutely no chance. PSG could be heading to Munich.

PENALTY SAVED

Vitinha's spot-kick lacks any power or real direction and dribbles into Raya's arms. A strike lacking conviction to say the least!

PENALTY PSG!

Achraf Hakimi's shot brushes Myles Lewis-Skelly's arm and the referee awards a PSG penalty after a quick VAR check.

CLOSE

Saka cuts in on the edge of the box and his curling effort is heading towards the top corner until Donnarumma clambers across the goal line to tip behind.

Arsenal swing in two corners and a free-kick in quick succession. Yet again, Donnarumma dominates the six-yard area, clearing two of the deliveries with ease.

After a much more cagey start to the second half, PSG eventually burst forward with intent and Désiré Doué can't find the bottom corner with a mis-timed shot.

SECOND HALF

We're back to it at Parc des Princes. Big 45 coming up for both sides.

HALF TIME

PSG now have a 2-0 aggregate lead and are 45 minutes away from their first Champions League final since 2020.

Arsenal will be kicking themselves after missing those early chances, but Donnarumma's brilliance played a huge role in repelling the visitors from getting back into this tie.

Bukayo Saka tries to get things going for the Gunners, dribbling in from the right flank and whipping a cross into a dangerous area, but it evades everyone and slides out of play.

GOAL PSG!

PSG take full advantage of their free-kick as Arsenal fail to clear their lines and the lurking Fabián Ruiz controls with a sublime first-touch on the edge of the area and rifles into the top corner past David Raya. What a strike!

Rice goes into the book after hacking down Kvaratskhelia 30 yards from goal. Fair yellow that one.

Just how important was that full-stretch Donnarumma save from Ødegaard?

OFF THE POST

The first time PSG get forward and boy, do they attack with intent as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia works half a yard and bends a shot towards the top corner. It cannons off the post, giving Arsenal a massive sigh of relief.

ANOTHER SAVE

Donnarumma continues to frustrate the Gunners, getting down to the bottom corner to keep out Martin Ødegaard's fierce strike.

BIG SAVE

Thomas Partey channels his inner Rory Delap and launches a long throw into the box and Gabriel Martinelli's flicked shot is saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

CLOSE

Oooh, Declan Rice almost gets Arsenal off to a perfect start and heads just wide from six yards. Game on!

KICK OFF!

We're underway in Paris.

The teams are heading onto the pitch and we are just moments away from kick-off.

Arsenal are hoping to become the first team to bounce back from a UCL semi-final first leg defeat at home since 2019. The last team to achieve that feat - the Gunners' fierce rivals, Tottenham.

Defeating PSG at the Parc des Princes will take a monumental effort from Mikel Arteta's outfit as the Ligue 1 champions have lost just three home games this season.

Hello and welcome to tonight's live coverage of the Champions League semi-final between PSG vs Arsenal. Les Parisiens hold a slender 1-0 lead over the Gunners thanks to Ousmane Dembélé's early strike one week ago at the Emirates.
