PSG whip Arsenal to reach Champions League final against Inter Milan

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will play Inter Milan in the Champions League final after beating Arsenal 2-1 on Wednesday to complete a 3-1 aggregate win over the Premier League side.

Deprived of the ball possession it so often enjoys, PSG looked in trouble early on but found the right answers to hurt Arsenal.

The French club relied on counter-attacking football and an excellent Gianluigi Donnarumma to prevail, advancing 3-1 on aggregate.

PSG broke the deadlock in the 27th minute from a set piece after the Arsenal defense cleared a free kick toward the edge of the area. The ball bounced back into the path of Fabian Ruiz, who smashed a stunning half-volley into the back of the net.

Inter edge Barcelona to reach Champions League final

Achraf Hakimi curled in a precise finish in the 72nd minute to make it 2-0 on the night before Bukayo Saka pulled one back for Arsenal.

PSG reached the final of Europe’s elite tournament for the second time in five years. It will take on Inter Milan on May 31 after the three-time champions defeated Barcelona 7-6 on aggregate in one of the greatest semi-finals in the competition’s history.

PSG had lost to Borussia Dortmund at this stage last year and was beaten by Bayern Munich in the 2020 final.
