First Leg: Arsenal 0–1 PSG (Emirates Stadium, London)

The first encounter took place at the Emirates Stadium in London, where PSG edged out Arsenal with a narrow 1–0 victory. The visitors grabbed the crucial away win thanks to a brilliant second-half strike from Kylian Mbappé, who once again showed why he’s considered one of the best players in the world.

Despite dominating possession for large spells, Arsenal struggled to break down a disciplined PSG defense. The French side’s midfield, led by Vitinha and Ugarte, disrupted Arsenal’s build-up play, while goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made several key saves to keep the Gunners at bay.

The result gave PSG a slender lead heading into the second leg, putting the pressure firmly on Mikel Arteta’s men.

Second Leg: PSG vs Arsenal (Parc des Princes, Paris)

The return leg in Paris was a tense affair. Arsenal came out with purpose, pressing high and looking to level the aggregate score. Their efforts paid off midway through the first half when Bukayo Saka converted from close range after a scramble in the box, making it 1–1 on aggregate.

But PSG responded swiftly. A swift counterattack saw Ousmane Dembélé deliver a pinpoint cross to Gonçalo Ramos, who headed past David Raya to restore PSG’s aggregate lead. The momentum shifted back and forth, with Arsenal needing another goal to force extra time.

In the second half, Arteta introduced Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard, increasing attacking intensity. Yet PSG’s backline, marshaled by Marquinhos, held firm. A late free-kick by Martin Ødegaard clipped the crossbar, agonizingly close to changing the tie’s outcome.

The match ended 1–1 on the night, 2–1 on aggregate for PSG, who sealed their place in the Champions League final in Munich on May 31, where they will face Inter Milan.
