PSG Defeat Arsenal 2-1 to Qualify For Champions League Final (Video)

Arsenal’s hope of a trophy this season has been dashed after they lost to Paris Saint-Germain yesterday night.

The Gunners were defeated 2-1 in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final as PSG booked their place in the final.

PSG had won the first leg 1-0 at the Emirates last week.

Goals from Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi sealed a 3-1 aggregate win for the French giants despite Bukayo Saka’s second-half strike, and they will go on to face Inter in the final.

Mikel Arteta’s men did have their chances. They threatened early on when Declan Rice rose above Marquinhos to meet a dangerous ball, but his header went wide. Shortly afterwards, Gianluigi Donnarumma stopped a Gabriel Martinelli effort from six yards out before saving again from Martin Odegaard.

PSG managed to poke holes in Arsenal after a while and came close when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia hit the post from the edge of the box.

William Saliba put his team under pressure, meanwhile, when his wayward pass gave the hosts a clear run at goal, but the defender was relieved to see Desire Doue squander the chance.
