Paris Saint-Germain weathered an early storm from Arsenal before goals from Fabián Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi secured a 2-1 victory, propelling them into the Champions League final on Wednesday.
The French champions’ 3-1 aggregate triumph means they can finally win the coveted trophy for the first time when they face Italian heavyweights Inter Milan in Munich on 31 May.
Trailing 1-0 from last week’s first leg, Arsenal dominated the early stages at the Parc des Princes, with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma making crucial saves.
Arsenal were made to pay for their missed opportunities when Ruiz unleashed a stunning left-foot shot past David Raya in the 27th minute, doubling PSG’s aggregate lead.
Raya saved Vitinha’s penalty in the 69th minute, but moments later, Hakimi extended PSG’s lead to 2-0 with a beautifully struck shot that left Raya with no chance.
Bukayo Saka replied for Arsenal in the 76th minute but squandered a glorious chance by blazing the ball over the crossbar, as the visitors fell short of reaching what would have been their first Champions League final appearance since 2006.
