He hits the crossbar.

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. 

NO GOAL ❌

The position the ref is getting into is just top class.#ARSPSG

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.

Arsenal ask for a penalty as Merino is brought down by Neves inside the box. 

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

Lewis-Skelly wins another free-kick as Neves fouls him at the edge of the box. Odegaard to take the free-kick. 

Arsenal are trying to play around PSG's midfielders. Saka has been playing a bit down and is now brought down by Ruiz.

Raya just denied Doué, and Ruiz then took advantage of the rebound ball. Ruiz, who hit the post with this shot, was offside already. 

Arsenal players are looking frustrated as PSG are dominating them at the Emirates.

Can they make a comeback?

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.

Who else but Dembele?

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.

Arsenal 0-1 PSF

In seven years covering Arsenal I have never heard the Emirates like this before a game.
