Paris Saint-Germain are through to the Champions League final after a 2-1 home win over Arsenal, sealing a 3-2 aggregate victory and setting up a mouthwatering clash with Inter in Munich. The Parisians capitalized on an injury-hit Gunners side with goals from Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi, while Bukayo Saka’s late strike added tension to the closing minutes.
Luis Enrique’s team didn’t start brightly, struggling in the opening 10 minutes under Arsenal’s early pressure. But once PSG settled and began to exploit space on the break, they quickly gained control. After Kvaratskhelia hit the post, Ruiz opened the scoring with a precise shot from outside the box. In the second half, Hakimi doubled the lead with another brilliant finish.
Vitinha had a chance to put the tie beyond reach with a penalty, but his miss didn’t alter the outcome. Saka pulled one back late on for Arsenal, but the visitors lacked the firepower to force extra time. Donnarumma stood tall with several key saves, confirming his status as one of the season’s standout goalkeepers.
