The champions league finale is set: Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) outshines Arsenal.
In a thrilling match at the Parc des Princes, PSG cemented their spot in the Champions League final against Inter Milan in Munich, leaving Arsenal distraught. With a convincing 2:1 (1:0) victory, PSG showcased a dominant performance, excelling in the second semi-final. The Londoners, brimming with potential but ultimately, disappointing.
Led by coach Luis Enrique, PSG demonstrated an exceptional display of prowess as Fabián Ruiz (27.) and former Dortmund player Achraf Hakimi (72.) shone with their strikes. Arsenal, plagued by the absence of injured Ousmane Dembélé, struggled to create an impact, until a close call from Chwitscha Kvaratskhelia (17.) against the post.
The first half unfolded with Arsenal applying significant pressure, but Gianluigi Donnarumma, the outstanding PSG keeper, frequently stole the limelight with impressive saves, as when he thwarted a low shot by captain Martin Ødegaard (8.). Despite PSG's dominance, Arsenal persisted, eager to find a chink in the armour of the French champions.
In the second half, the guests hunted for an equalizer, relentlessly testing the compact Parisian defence. Saka forced another remarkable save from Donnarumma (64.), but it was not enough. Following a questionable handball call against Myles Lewis-Skelly, Vitinha failed to score against Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya (69.). Hakimi extended the lead (72.), Saka scored a late goal (76.), but his golden opportunity, a sharp cross from the left, went awhirl (80.), leaving him and the Arsenal supporters despondent.
The upcoming final will mark the first-ever competitive match between PSG and Inter in their storied histories. Their past encounters have been limited to friendly matches, with Inter triumphing most recently in August 2023 in Tokyo[1]. Previously, both teams have squared off in various European competitions, including the UEFA Cup and European Cup (now Champions League), although they have never met in a Champions League final prior to the 2025 showdown[2][3].
