Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has secured its place in the UEFA Champions League final, triumphing over Arsenal with a 2-1 win at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday.

This victory followed their narrow 1-0 win in the first leg held in London, allowing PSG to advance with an aggregate score of 3-1. The final is scheduled for May 31 in Munich, where PSG will face off against Inter Milan.

In the return leg of the semi-final, PSG, fresh off winning the French league title, displayed a commanding performance, contrasting sharply with Arsenal's lackluster showing after the initial half-hour.

Arsenal, who was dominated throughout the match, managed to keep their hopes alive in the first leg but failed to replicate that spirit in the return fixture.

Following the first leg, Arsenal's players exhibited a sense of relief in mixed zone interviews, acknowledging their struggle against a formidable PSG side.

Bukayo Saka, Arsenal's winger, noted his admiration for PSG's cohesive play and their ability to control the rhythm of the match.

The second leg kicked off without PSG's Ousmane Dembélé, who was sidelined due to a muscular issue sustained in the first match.

Despite this setback, PSG started strong, relying on goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to fend off an early attempt from Arsenal's Martin Ødegaard in the eighth minute.

PSG soon took control through a well-placed strike by midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who scored in the 27th minute.

This goal shifted the momentum firmly in PSG's favor, leading Arsenal to struggle to mount an effective response.

The Parisian defense, led by Marquinhos, effectively thwarted Arsenal’s attempts to push forward during the first half.

After the halftime break, Arsenal attempted an unconventional strategy involving goalkeeper David Raya taking a free kick from the halfway line into PSG's penalty area, which notably failed.

PSG maintained pressure, and despite Vitinha missing a penalty in the 69th minute, the outcome was already leaning heavily in their favor.

Achraf Hakimi extended PSG's lead in the 72nd minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse from Arsenal.

Although Saka managed to reduce the deficit with a goal in the 76th minute, it did little to alter the dynamics of the match, as both teams appeared resigned to the game's outcome.

Throughout the tie, PSG showcased their ability to adapt to various challenges, having faced more strenuous opposition in earlier rounds against Liverpool and Aston Villa.

The team, under the guidance of coach Luis Enrique, illustrated resilience and strategic versatility as they now prepare for the final showdown against Inter Milan.
