PSG 2-1 Arsenal (3-1 agg.): Gunners out as Parisiens advance to Champions League final
All the updates from the Parc des Princes.
Arsenal are out of the Champions League after Mikel Arteta’s side fell to a 3-1 aggregate defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.
Leading 1-0 after last week’s first leg in north London, PSG were made to weather an early storm, with Gianluigi Donnarumma making smart saves to deny Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard.
And the hosts made Arsenal pay later in the first half as Fabian Ruiz rifled a half-volley into the back of the net from the edge of the box to give PSG the lead on the night.
The hosts had a chance to double their lead when Myles Lewis-Skelly was adjudged to have handled the ball, but David Raya denied Vitinha from the resulting penalty.
But that hope was short-lived for Arsenal as, just three minutes later, Achraf Hakimi picked the pocket of Thomas Partey before curling an effort into the bottom corner.
