PSG eliminate Arsenal to book Champions League final spot

May 08, 2025

Paris, May 8

Paris Saint-Germain will play Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final after a 2-1 win at home to Arsenal saw them emerge victorious 3-1 on aggregate.

Arsenal had chances to get back into contention and even overturn the tie, only to be frustrated time after time by PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Although Arsenal had struggled to control last week's first leg against PSG's three-man midfield, Mikel Arteta's players quickly showed they had come to Paris to overturn the first leg defeat, reports.

The game was barely a minute old when Jurrien Timber crossed for Declan Rice to head just wide.

The visiting side looked to asphyxiate PSG high up the field, with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli both active, and Martinelli forced the first of Donnarumma's excellent saves on the night, when he almost bundled in Thomas Partey's long throw.

The Italian produced an even better stop in the seventh minute when another long throw from Partey fell to Martin Odegaard, whose low drive looked destined to end up in the net until Donnarumma got down to make a fine block.

Arsenal pressed forward and gave the home side options on the break, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia hitting the post before Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring in the 27th minute.
