Arsenal 0-1 PSG LIVE REACTION: Gunners’ Champions League dreams hanging by a thread after semi-final defeat
Arsenal’s Champions League dreams are hanging by a thread after a damaging 1-0 defeat at home to Paris Saint-Germain. The Gunners romped to a 2-0 win over PSG in October, but any hopes of a similar result were extinguished inside four minutes. Ousmane Dembele, who was axed for that league phase meeting, made his mark with the first kick of the game to silence the Emirates. Mikel Merino thought he’d equalised straight after half-time, but his header was chalked off following a lengthy VAR check. PSG came close to doubling their advantage late on, but Bradley Barcola and Goncalos Ramos both squandered gilt-edged chances. Arsenal, who famously have never won the European Cup, now face a season-defining night in France for the second leg next week.
