Saka, from the right, made a quick entry in the final third. He gave it to Odegaard, who tried to find someone on the left, but his cross was deflected towards the right and Lewis-Skelly could not win the ball back for them. 

Arsenal are now finding it hard to go through the middle. Since Rice is not able to play as a No. 8, they are finding it tough to get the momentum going. 25 mins to go! 

Hakimi was nearly a second way to make an effort from close range. But, Saliba came running from behind to make the challenge. 

Big, big save from Donnarumma! 

Trossard with a left-footed shot from the left of the box. He also went for the far post after Rice played a swift ball to him. But, Donnarumma was just better to make the save, diving to his left.

What a save from Donnarumma! 

Lewis-Skelly found Gabriel Martinelli with a great ball. But Gabriel Martinelli could not find the right spot to beat Donnarumma. 

Another foul from PSG and they are struggling to control the game now. 

Yellow card for Hakimi. This time, he does not get away with this. No attempt to play the ball, and he gets the yellow. 

Yellow card for Saka for a foul on Mendes on the byline. Saka looks frustrated, as he appealed for a yellow card for Mendes and got the yellow card himself.  

Arsenal are looking great now. But Trossard's effort went straight to Donnarumma

First big chance of the game for Arsenal. Saka, who had switched sides, chipped in a ball from the left. 

But, even a full-stretched Gabriel Martinelli could not reach the ball.

Saka tries to do a Messi there as he made a quick entry from the right and then went for a left-footed shot. It goes straight to Donnarumma.

Neves got to the ball, and it won't be a penalty.

Kvaratskhelia goes deep inside the box from the left. Timber deflected his left-footed effort. 

It could have gone anywhere else. But, finally, Raya made a good save. 

We all knew that Ruiz vs Rice would be a battle to watch out for. Till now, Ruiz has won the battle for sure. 

The free-kick resulted in Kiwior heading the ball towards the target. But it went straight to Donnarumma

The Arsenal youngster has outsmarted Hakimi to win a free-kick here. Arsenal looking to get the momentum back.

This could have been a yellow. Timber fouls Kvaratskhelia. He is getting a few words from the referee. 

Kvaratskhelia tried to dribble through the defenders and went down inside the box. The referee was in a good position to take a look at the incident. 

He straightaway cancelled the call. 

Hakimi clipped the ball in the air for Marquinhos to go for the header. But the ball did not have enough pace for Marquinhos to Raya. 

Easy save at the end for the Arsenal goalkeeper.

Dembele tried to do a Ronaldinho there. But, his final left-footed attempt was not good enough to beat Raya. 

Trossard gets the yellow card for a foul on Hakimi, who was making a good run in a counterattack.

Marquinhos, the PSG captain, does well in stopping Martinelli at the back and allowing Arsenal a corner. 

He wants more noise from the visiting PSG fans.

Top-class finish from the French star. He initialised the attack and then played it wide to Kvaratskhelia. Kvaratskhelia then met Dembele with a cut-back

A top-class left-footed cross volley from Dembele gave the visitors an early lead.

Yellow card for Gavi.

Yellow card for Kolo Muani.

We are not done yet! 

Cherki's cross and Kolo Muani's header went straight inside the goal.

ESP 5-4 FRA

Gusto's cross fell rightly for Barcola to go for the header. But, he could not be on target.

Can we have more goals?

In: Gavi

Out: Merino

Barcola's speed on the left gave France a great chance. 

His cutback found Kolo Muani at the edge of the box. But his shot went over the goal. 

Samu got the chance to beat him with a cross-footed shot. But Maignan's defection took the ball away. 

Okay, are we going to watch a classic comeback? 

Vivian could not control the cross from Gusto, and his toe touch went straight into the goal.

5 minutes to go, more goal?

Spain 5-3 France

Hernandez grabbed Lamine and stopped him from going for the counterattack. 

Yellow card for him. 

whhhhhhaaatttt! 

What a goal and on his debut! 

Mbappe found Cherki at the edge of the box, and after the first touch, he went for a left-footed bullet volley to beat Simon. 

ESP 5-2 FRA

France: In - Kolo Muani, Out - Dembele 

Spain: In - Vivian, Samu, Out - Le Normand, Oyarzabal

Spain are looking complacent here. 

Mbappe, while falling on the ground, was very close to beating Simon. 

But Simon kept his eyes on the ball to make the save.

Five star for Spain.

A goal that had written Ballon d'Or all over it, the commentators said. 

With the front of the foot, he was able to beat Maignan on the right side. 

Spain 5-1 France. 

Spain: In - Olmo, Ruiz, Out - Nico, Pedri

France: In - Gusto, Cherki, Barcola, Out - Kalulu, Olise, Doue

Dembele, with a threading pass, found Doue on the left. 

After watching his space, Doue tried to curl one back in. But the effort did not come in enough to hit the back of the net. 

Inevitable. Mbappe scores from the spot. 

He is just one goal away from touching Henry's record.

Spain 4-1 France. 

Pedro Porro semmed to have dragged Mbapped inside the box  and it is a penalty for France.

Spain are cooking here. 

Pedri gets into the act this time. 

Pedri won the ball and controlled it before finding Nico on the left. 

Nico found Pedri making a run inside the box. 

With a fine touch and control, he found the back of the net. 

ESP 4-0 FRA.

Cool, calm and stylish. 

He took his time and was not bothered by all the distractions from Maignan. 

He hits the low, left corner and Spain lead by 3-0. 

ESP 3-0 FRA. 

Penalty given. The VAR stands with the referee's decision. 

Rabiot fouls Lamine Yamal inside the box. He gets the yellow card and it is a penalty for Spain. 

Good start for France.

Theo Hernandez's cross from the left of the box was nearly met by Demeble. Another chance gone begging for them. 

Top class along the ground, cross from the right. Kalulu's cross from the right could not meet Dembele at the centre of the box. 

Yamal found Oyarzabal at the edge of the box. Konate blocked latter's shot. 

No changes from either. 

Two great goals and the defending champions are happily going to the break with a 2-0 lead.

2 minutes added to the first half. 

Mbappe with a left footed shot. Since it was at the center of the goal, it was an easy save for Simon. 

Huijsen scores but looks to be offside. 

France are trying to play shorter passes to enter the box. A lovely one-two between Mbappe and Olise found Dembele making a run inside the box.

Though Simon came running to make the save, the PSG star was already offside. 

Nico Williams delivers.

Simon does well to go low and down to his right to save Dembele's on target shot from the right. 

France are struggling here with the defence. 

Pedri's delivery had created a chance for Nico to go for the goal. But, Lenglet was there to make the block. 

Yellow card for Lamine for a foul on Doue.

Doue and Mbappe's timid efforts at the goal were saved by Simon as France looked to make a comeback in the match. Let me remind you, no second leg in the semis. The winner will face Portugal in the final on June 8th.

Merino's goes around the corner and Spain lead by 2-0. 

Oyarzabal is again the provider but this time with a very different type of assist, completing a one-two with Merino as part of a slick spell of Spain passing with a delightful chipped ball inside the box on the right.

Merino did the rest by storming inside the box and beating Maignan in the near post. 

Nico Williams does the job for Spain. 

On the left again, but unlike the last two times, he was able to smash the back of the net. 

Yamal found Oyarzabal, and the experienced striker played a cute pass at the edge of the box for Nico to go for the goal. 

Despite space being there and having Mbappe waiting over the shoulder, Rabiot went for the shot. 

It went over the goal. 

It is Nico Williams who made another run on the left for Spain. But his final shot was saved by Maignan. A bit awkward, but it was a good save. 

Theo passed the ball to Doue on the left. Doue, full of confidence, after a record-breaking Champions League final, he made a cutback and went for a shot with his right foot. 

In the end, it was an easy save for Simon

Theo Hernandez, though he was not in full control while making the effort with his left foot, hit the crossbar. Simon would have been a spectator if that had gone in.  

Nico Williams, on the left-hand side, made a good run. But his final effort went straight to Maignan. 

Demeble ran away with the ball and found Mbappe. But, unselfish Mbappe tried to find Rabiot and lost the plot.

Theo Hernandez took his chance to surprise Simon with a long-range shot. The shot went over the goal. 

As usual, Lamine Yamal looked to break through the right and then with a backheel found Pedro Porro, whose effort went straight to Maignan. 

France start things off!
