The match at Parc des Princes is over and PSG has secured its place in the final in Munich, where it will face Inter Milan. They return to the final after five years, which will be next Saturday, May 31.

PSG 2 (3) - 1 (1) Arsenal

Five minutes of added time will be played in this match, where Arsenal will need two miracles to take the game into extra time, although they do not appear to have the means to achieve this. PSG is on its way to Munich.

Third and surely final substitution for PSG in this match.

IN:
Gonçalo Ramos

OUT:
Nuno Mendes

Luis Enrique's substitution sees a forward come on for a defender, which is a bit puzzling but something the Spanish coach often does.

Sixth caution of the match, third for Arsenal. Bukayo Saka is cautioned for arguing with the referee over a foul in midfield, who did not hesitate for a second to award it due to the heated discussion.

Fourth and fifth yellow cards of the match. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Riccardo Calafiori ended up facing each other in a dispute for the ball, with some minor contact that did not escalate further, resulting in yellow cards for both players.

Third substitution for Arsenal.

IN:
Ben White

OUT:
Jurrien Timber

A positional substitution for Timber, who was doubtful for this match and has not looked at his best in this second leg.

BUKAYO SAKA MISSES IT! A cross from the left at mid-height passes Marquinhos and Donnarumma comes out poorly, the ball falls to Saka who wasn't expecting it and shoots as best he can with the goal at his mercy, but it goes well over the bar.

GOAL! GOOOOOOOOOAL for Arsenal! A quick move that the home defense thought was a foul, but the referee waves play on and Bukayo Saka, inside the box, beats Donnarumma to pull one back and give the Gunners a lifeline.

PSG 2 (3) - (1) 1 Arsenal

Second substitution for PSG.

IN:
Lucas Hernández

OUT:
Désire Doué

Hernández comes on with a more defensive approach to hold onto the lead and close out the game to seal their place in the final.

GOAL! GOAAAAAAAAAAAAL for PSG! A team move by the home side, space in the middle, and the newly substituted Dembélé sets up Hakimi, who fires a beautiful shot across goal from the left side to the far post, and the tie is over.

PSG 2 (3) - 0 (0) Arsenal

First substitution for PSG.

IN:
Ousmane Dembélé

OUT:
Bradley Barcola

A positional substitution to give the Parisian attack more speed with Dembélé, who came into this game carrying an injury and was therefore not in the starting line-up.

SAVED BY DAVID RAYA! Vitinha took the shot, approaching the ball almost walking, and the Spanish goalkeeper held on until the last moment and saved the penalty, giving his team a glimmer of hope.

First two substitutions of the match, both for Arsenal before the penalty was awarded.

IN:
Riccardo Calafiori
Leandro Trossard

OUT:
Myles Lewis-Skelly
Gabriel Martinelli  

The referee stops the game and signals to the VAR screen to review a possible penalty for PSG for a handball by Timber following a shot by Hakimi from inside the area.

The referee awards the penalty and could decide the tie.

What a save by Donnarumma! Bukayo Saka fired a great shot from the right side with his left foot, aiming for the top right corner of the goal, but Donnarumma reacted better than the shot itself and saved his team.

No excitement in the first 15 minutes of the second half, but for the last couple of minutes Arsenal have gone back on the attack, mainly looking to create danger in front of Donnarumma's goal with crosses into the box.

Third yellow card of the match, second for Arsenal. English defender Myles Lewis-Skelly is cautioned for a strong tackle in midfield, and the referee has no hesitation in showing him the yellow card.

Arsenal are controlling possession in the early stages of the second half but are unable to create any dangerous chances, while PSG are comfortably holding on to their lead as they look to reach the final for the first time in five years.

The final 45 minutes kick off at the Parc des Princes, where PSG are currently ahead and Arsenal need to score at least two goals to take the game into extra time, while Inter Milan await their opponents in Munich.

The first 45 minutes of this match have ended with PSG partially winning against Arsenal at the Parc des Princes and securing their place in the final against Inter Milan.

PSG 1 (2) - (0) 0 Arsenal

Two minutes of added time will be played in this first half, which PSG has controlled without any problems in the final minutes, managing their two-goal advantage well and proving more effective than Arsenal in both the first and second legs.

Arsenal managed to steal the ball from the home side on several occasions in midfield, but the home team created more attacking opportunities with long passes, taking advantage of their forwards' speed and the high lines of the English side.

The pace of the game has slowed down, as has Arsenal's intensity from the start. PSG are now in control of the ball and Arsenal are unable to finish their attacks against a home side that already has a two-goal advantage on aggregate.

🚨🇪🇺 GOAL | PSG 1-0 Arsenal | Fabian Ruiz

FABIAN RUIZ OPENS THE SCORING FOR PSG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!pic.twitter.com/wtDX7EYHsE

— Tekkers Foot (@tekkersfoot) May 7, 2025

GOAL! GOAAAAAAAAL for PSG! A beautiful shot by Fabián Ruiz from outside the box. The free kick was cleared, but the Spanish midfielder controlled the ball with his chest and fired a powerful shot with his left foot. PSG extends its lead.

PSG 1 (2) - (0) 0 Arsenal

Second yellow card of the match, the first for Arsenal. English midfielder Declan Rice is cautioned for a strong tackle on Kvicha Khvarastkhelia on the right side after the #41 lost control of the ball.

PSG missed it! A poor pass from Kiwior on the break was recovered by Barcola, who passed to Doué, who found himself alone in front of Kiwior and goalkeeper Raya, but he couldn't find the best angle and his shot was weak inside the area, making it easy for the Spanish goalkeeper.

First yellow card of the match, the first for PSG. Portuguese defender Nuno Mendes is booked for a foul on Timber on the left side. It's a clear stamp and the referee has no hesitation in showing him the yellow card.

As we mentioned earlier, although Arsenal look better than their rivals, PSG have some great players in attack and could cause problems for the Gunners at any moment. Khavartskhelia shoots with his right foot from the left side and the ball rebounds off the left post.

Arsenal have looked much better so far in the opening stages, with three good chances on goal and more possession. However, PSG have some very quick players in attack and any counterattack could prove dangerous.

Gigi Donnarumma rises to the occasion and begins to take control of the match! Martin Odegaard picks up a rebound outside the box after a throw-in and fires a powerful shot low with his left foot, but Donnarumma makes an impressive save.

Arsenal are getting closer.

The Parisians are saved again! A throw-in from the left to the center of the box and Gabriel Martinelli, unmarked, shot with his left foot, but Donnarumma's quick reflexes managed to save the shot.

PSG are saved! The first big chance of the game, a cross from the right by Timber almost on the penalty spot for Mikel Merino, who wins the aerial duel with Marquinhos and his header goes just wide of the right post.

The ball is rolling at the Parc des Princes in Paris, France, between PSG and Arsenal in this match corresponding to the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 semifinals, where we expect plenty of excitement.

The PSG and Arsenal players are taking to the pitch and we are ready to bring you all the latest news from an incredible night in Paris for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 semi-final, with the French side leading 1-0 on aggregate.

David Raya; Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Jakub Kiwior, Myles Lewis-Skelly; Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Declan Rice; Bukayo Saka, Mikel Merino, Gabriel Martinelli. Manager: Mikel Arteta

The 25-year-old German striker Kai Havertz, who joined the team in June 2023 for €70 million from Chelsea FC, is one of the team's standout players, as he is the top scorer this season with 15 goals in 34 games, but he will be out due to injury. He is followed by England's Bukayo Saka with 11 goals in 33 games.

Gianluigi Donnarumma; Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz; Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Coach: Luis Enrique

The 27-year-old French striker Ousmane Dembélé, who joined the team in August 2023 in exchange for €50.4 million from FC Barcelona, is one of the most outstanding players on the team, as he is the top scorer this season with 33 goals in 45 games.

This will be the seventh meeting between the two teams throughout history. Arsenal has the upper hand with two wins, one for PSG, and three draws. Four of the previous games were in the UEFA Champions League, while the first two were in the now defunct European Cup Winners' Cup in the 1993/94 season.

Last five matches:
April 29, 2025: Arsenal 0-1 PSG (Semifinal first leg)
October 1, 2024: Arsenal 2-0 PSG (League phase)
November 23, 2016: Arsenal 2-2 PSG (Group stage)
September 13, 2016: PSG 1-1 Arsenal (Group stage)
April 12, 1994: Arsenal 1-0 PSG (Semifinal second leg)

For their part, the team led by Spanish coach Mikel Arteta since December 2019 has been performing well for a couple of seasons now, and the current 2024/25 season, which is about to end, is no exception. In the Premier League, they are currently second behind Liverpool, who have already been crowned champions, with 18 wins, 13 draws, and 4 losses, giving them 67 points with three games remaining.

The Gunners come into this match with the obligation to go out and get a result in their favor, where they will have to overturn a 0-1 deficit away from home to return to a UEFA Champions League final after 19 years, when they were defeated by FC Barcelona 1-2 in the 2005/06 season, also looking to lift their first trophy in Europe's top club competition.

Arsenal will have six players out due to injury for this match: Gabriel Magalhaes, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Riccardo Calafiori, Jorginho, Gabriel Jesus, and Kai Havertz.

The team led by Spanish coach Luis Enrique since July 2023 has performed extremely well throughout this season, already clinching the Ligue 1 title with 24 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses, with 78 points and two games remaining in the championship. In the Coupe de France, they will face Stade Reims in the final on May 24.

Les Parisiens go into this match with a narrow advantage, gained away from home in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, so they will need to defend that lead and make their home advantage count if they are to reach another Champions League final and lift the trophy for the first time after five years, when they lost to Bayern Munich in Lisbon.

The only absence for PSG in this match will be French center back Presnel Kimpembe.

The PSG vs Arsenal match will be played at the Parc des Princes, located in Paris, the capital of France. This stadium, inaugurated in 1897, has a capacity of 47,929 spectators.
