PSG reach Champions League final after beating Arsenal
Paris Saint-Germain have reached the Champions League final after defeating Arsenal in both legs of the semi-finals. PSG reach Champions League final with a 2-1 victory in the second leg at home, following a 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium.
Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring for PSG in the 27th minute, and Achraf Hakimi doubled the lead in the 72nd. Arsenal responded with a goal from Bukayo Saka in the 76th, but it was not enough to overturn the deficit.
PSG show strength on home turf
After taking a narrow lead in London, PSG reached the Champions League final with a confident performance at home. Despite early pressure from Arsenal, including chances from Rice and Odegaard, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma kept the Parisians safe.
Fabian Ruiz broke the deadlock with a long-range strike after Arsenal failed to clear their lines. PSG continued to press, with Barcola and Kvaratskhelia threatening before halftime.
Hakimi seals the win
The second half saw Paris Saint-Germain control possession. Hakimi drew a handball inside the box in the 68th minute, but Vitinha’s penalty was saved by Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.
Just minutes later, Hakimi made up for the miss with a well-placed finish to make it 2-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate. Although Arsenal pulled one back through Saka, they couldn’t find the equalizer.
