Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) emerged victorious against Arsenal with a 2-1 scoreline in the Champions League semi-final, clinching a 3-1 aggregate victory on Wednesday. The match showcased PSG's adaptability as they withstood numerous Arsenal attacks, thanks in part to stellar performances from goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Fabián Ruiz opened the scoring in the 27th minute, followed by Achraf Hakimi’s goal in the 72nd minute, which ultimately sealed their place in the final against Inter Milan on May 31. Arsenal's Bukayo Saka managed a late consolation goal, but it was not enough to alter the outcome, according to Le Monde, Channel News Asia, and Al Jazeera.

PSG's route to the final has been impressive, having previously eliminated Aston Villa and Liverpool before facing Arsenal. This victory marks PSG's second appearance in the Champions League final, following their loss to Bayern Munich in the 2020 showdown. Under the management of Luis Enrique, the team has become increasingly cohesive and disciplined, as highlighted by captain Marquinhos after the match. "The road was hard and slow, and we faced very difficult matches," he stated, expressing a determination to seize this opportunity, according to Reuters and Africa News.

The final against Inter Milan is set to be a historic encounter, as it will be the first Champions League final ever contested between a French and an Italian team. Inter, having dramatically defeated Barcelona with a 7-6 aggregate score in their semi-final, will provide a formidable challenge. The clash on May 31 will captivate football fans around the world, especially considering the thrilling nature of both teams' paths to the final, including PSG’s resilience against a string of Premier League opponents, as reported by Channel News Asia and Le Monde.
