Arsenal dominated the first 15 minutes, but after that, it was all about PSG at their home. 

Luis Enrique has done a tremendous job with PSG and created leaders in different positions. 

Donnarumma has been a beast under the post. Hakimi, with 21 goal contributions, is now one of the best. Vitniha, Neves and Marquinhos are one of the best in their positions as well. 

Dembele is running for a potential Ballon d'Or finish. So, the credit should go to Enrique for all his efforts. 

Arsenal had their chances, but they failed to take them. Saka did score but missed one as well. 

So, it will be Inter Milan vs PSG in the final in Munich. Thank you for staying up with us. 

Good night, and I will see you on 1st June in the final. Till then, take care and enjoy football.

Merino could not make the best of his chance, and Donnarumma has the ball in his grasp. 1 minute to go before PSG head to Munich to meet Inter. 

White lobbed the cross, and Merino had to generate a lot of power to get that in target. 

Change went begging for Arsenal. 

5 minutes have been added as injury time.

In: Ramos

Out: Mendes

Yellow card for Saka. Do not if there was a foul, but, it is a yellow card for the Arsenal winger. 

Yellow cards for Calafiori and Kvaratskhelia for going against each other.

Brilliant cross from Calafiori, and Saka just had to direct it into the goal. 

Donnarumma was already out, but as the ball bounced in front of him, Saka could not control the touch. 

Achraf Hakimi has scored or assisted 8 goals in the Champions League this season, 3 more than any other defender:

PSG 2-1 Arsenal (3-1)

What a finish. 

Achraf Hakimi with a special goal.

Arsenal gave the ball away, and Kvaratskhelia from the right initiated the attack. 

Partey did not have any idea where Hakimi was inside the box. 

After a quick turn, Hakimi hit the back of the net to extend PSG's lead.

Poor from Vitinha. Slow and low, and Raya had time to go down to his left and make the save. 

Still PSG 1-0 ARS (2-0)

In: Lewis-Skelly, Martinelli

Out: Calafiori, Trossard.

During Hakimi's shot, Lewis-Skelly had touched the ball. It is a penalty for PSG.

Hakimi runs away with the ball post Donnarumma's save. 

But his shot was saved by Raya. 

We are watching a masterclass performance from Donnarumma.

Saka's curling on-target shot is saved by Donnarumma. The sake of the head from Saka makes it more painful for Arsenal fan. 

And, Saliba won it this time. 

Barcola was nearly off for a counterattack. And Saliba fought it out to win the ball. 

The way Kvaratskhelia has worked back to defend Saka over these two legs... relentless. Not the sort of thing Neymar used to do at this club.

— Sam Dean (@SamJDean) May 7, 2025

The curling corner from Saka was dipping into the goal.

Donnarumma had to jump and punch it for another corner. 

Down the left side, with some quick feet dribbling, Vitinha dribbled past defenders before lobbing the ball towards the goal.

Raya grabbed the ball easily. 

Yellow card for Lewis-Skelly.

Mendes made a brilliant run after receiving the ball from Kvaratskhelia. Mendes laid the ball for Doue to go for a shot. 

In the end, it was a weak, off-target shot from Doue. 

Neves first won the ball from Lewis-Skelly, and then Timber tackled to win the ball back for Arsenal. 

Finally, the referee had enough and gave a free-kick to PSG for a foul on Doue. 

A huge roar erupts as Dembele starts warming up.

Timber was able to find Saka on the right flank and before Saka could try to enter the box, Kvaratskhelia won the ball back from him.

Arsenal get us underaway. No changes yet from either team.

Arsenal dominated the first 15 minutes of the game. But saves from Donnarumma made sure PSG did not concede any before Fabian Ruiz scored a screamer to hand PSG the lead. 

Will Arsenal be able to make a match out of it, like Barcelona did last night?

Or, PSG are heading to Munich?

We'll see that after the break. 

Rice and Odegaard linked up with Saka for a portable chance before the first half whistle. 

Saka's cross was cleared away by Hakimi. 

2 minutes have been added as stoppage time. 

Barcola's powerful shot hit Lewis-Skelly hard. He is down in pain and we have a stoppage. 

Saka went through Mendes, and Rice nearly met with the pass. But, Ruiz was there to clear it out and create another counter attack for PSG. 

Saka's cross was left alone by Merino, hoping that someone from his team would connect with it in the far post. 

But, no red shirt was there to receive the ball. 

Timber went for a cross from the right, but Pacho was there to clear the ball with a header. 

Arsenal are trying but PSG are looking like the team in control.

Huge, huge, save from Raya. 

Another mistake from Arsenal, and Kvaratskhelia ran away with the ball. 

He found Barcola with a cross pass. But with his weak foot, Barcola could not find the power to beat Raya. 

Fabian Ruiz gives PSG the lead. An important lead. 

From the free-kick, the ball was not cleared well by Partey, and it fell perfectly for Fabian Ruiz to go for a powerful volley.

After a slight deflection, it went inside the goal.

We all know they are very dangerous from set pieces.

Yellow card for Nuno Mendes for a foul on Timber. 

Fabulous effort from Kvaratskhelia. 

Marquinhos started the attack for PSG, and Doue linked up with Kvaratskhelia.

His right-footed shot from just outside the box hit the goalpost. 

First big chance for PSG. 

Arsenal have dominated in the first 15 minutes of the game. But, it is good for PSG that they have yet to concede. 

This time, Saka tried to create a chance for Arsenal from the right. But Pacho shielded the ball well to let it go for a goalkick. 

In a first, PSG broke through from their defensive area and Hakimi had the chance to find a teammate with the cross. 

But his timid cross went straight to Raya.

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!

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

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.

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