🚨 PSG win at Arsenal to take huge step towards Champions League final | OneFootball

RESULT

FULL TIME: ARSENAL 0-1 PSG

PSG take a crucial advantage into the second leg, and will be hugely confident now of progressing to the Champions League final.

Luis Enrique's side are deserved winners on a disappointing night for the Gunners.

Donnarumma is taken down inside the box at an Arsenal corner.

That could be that.

Five minutes added on, and Nwaneri is on for Ødegaard.

Declan Rice's free-kick is cleared away by the PSG defenders.

Is that Arsenal's last chance?

Five minutes to go. Is there to be a second goal?

AND ANOTHER ONE!

Marquinhos' ball over the top finds Ramos, who toe pokes it onto the bar.

Another let off...

WHAT A CHANCE!

PSG work it so well through Arsenal, but Barcola drags the ball just wide.

He had to score.

Ben White is on as Arteta makes his first sub. Timber goes off.

Neves fires over after Arsenal give away possession.

A let off for the Gunners, who really cannot afford to let in another.

Doué is off now as well, with Gonçalo Ramos on.

PSG now have a proper no.9 on, might he get their second?

Kvaratskhelia attempts to chip Raya from all of 50 yards.

It goes high and wide, but it tells you everything about the Georgian's confidence.

Bradley Barcola is on for PSG in place of Dembélé.

A new pacey forward for the Gunners to have to deal with.

When will either manager use his bench?

Mikel Arteta might bring on his own young star, Ethan Nwaneri. He has few other genuine options.

Doué is showing out once again.

Not even 20, he looks like a future world superstar.

And by future, we mean in the next 30 minutes.

WHAT A SAVE!

Donnarumma to the rescue again!

Rice powers through and plays in Trossard, who sees his low left-footed shot turned amazingly away by the big Italian.

Semi-automated offside came into play there, and the Spaniard was definitely offside.

Can Arsenal build on this though?

DISALLOWED GOAL FOR ARSENAL!

Merino thinks he's scored but he's ruled just offside after a long VAR check.

There was so many bodies in the box from Declan Rice's free kick.

Big moment right away into the second half.

Back under way in North London.

WHAT A CHANCE!

Arsenal almost equalise right before the half-time whistle.

Donnarumma gets down low and turns away Martinelli's right-footed effort after the winger was played in.

Hakimi joins Saka in the book almost immediately.

Saka is booked for kicking the ball away in frustration after a harsh foul against him on Nuno Mendes.

He isn't the only one frustrated at the Emirates.

CLOSE AGAIN!

Bukayo Saka moves in and out on the left, and chips the ball over Donnarumma.

Gabriel Martinelli outstretches but just can't get there to finish.

Decent end to the half for Arsenal, but it's been quite a chastening first 45.

CLOSE FOR ARSENAL!

Their first opening and it comes via a PSG error.

The ball is set to come to Mikel Merino but João Neves comes from nowhere to clear it.

A brilliant tackle.

Arsenal have had limited chances, and Ødegaard just has to do better with the free kick opportunity.

PSG COME CLOSE AGAIN!

Dembélé is set free down the right, and works the ball across the box.

Désiré Doué's low strike is brilliantly saved by Raya into the path of his international teammate Fabián Ruiz, who hits the post.

However, the Spanish midfielder was offside.

Kvaratskhelia tests Raya after a quick PSG break.

The Emirates is a nervy ground right now.

Jakub Kiwior puts a header at Gianluigi Donnarumma which is easily saved.

Arsenal need to do more.

Kvaratskhelia has a penalty claim waved away after going down under slight contact from Jurrien Timber.

CLOSE!

Arsenal can't get near PSG, and Marquinhos tests Raya with a header from a cross.

Leandro Trossard is the first into the book for taking down Achraf Hakimi.

It came from an Arsenal corner...

The PSG fans are bouncing as always, but especially right now.

GOOOOAL! PSG TAKE THE LEAD!

PSG stun the Emirates with the opener inside three minutes.

They have had all of the ball, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia picks out Ousmane Dembélé inside the box, whose left-footed shot goes through the crowd and past David Raya.

KICK OFF!

And we're under way at the Emirates.

We're minutes away from kick-off as the teams make their way out onto the pitch.

However, Mikel Arteta's men did beat Luis Enrique's side 2-0 in the League Stage this season, with goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.

A lot has changed from October though...

This is quite possibly Arsenal's biggest game since the last time they played at this stage, way back in 2009 when they lost to Manchester United.

They will be up against it tonight facing a PSG side that has already knocked out Liverpool and Aston Villa from the competition.
