Get ready for an epic showdown! Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is on the cusp of its first Champions League title, having edged past Arsenal in a tense 2-1 victory. This sets the stage for a thrilling showdown against Inter Milan, with the finale happening in Munich on May 31. Here's the worldwide press reactions to this highly anticipated event:
France
"L'Equipe": "No sweat in the final. PSG puts Arsenal in its place, setting the stage for a Champions League confrontation against Inter Milan. Driven by a stunning half-volley from Fabian Ruiz, a spot-on shot from Achraf Hakimi, and several remarkable saves from Gianluigi Donnarumma, PSG outsmarted Arsenal on Wednesday night (2-1)."
"Le Parisien": Paris refuses to falter and advances alongside Inter towards the Champions League finale."
"Le Figaro": "Paris SG pursues its European dream. After a riveting game, the Parisians earn their ticket for the second Champions League final in their history."
England
"Guardian": "PSG's young team edges closer to immortality. Wednesday's game was an absolute thriller, played with ferocity and passion. Arsenal gave their all but will be disheartened by small oversights on the elite level - all while witnessing remarkable reflexes and agility by Gianluigi Donnarumma."
"Daily Mail": "Arsenal's vision is shattered. After defeating Real Madrid, Arsenal enthusiasts truly believed they would secure their hands on European silverware this year. But fate had other plans. It's a story all too familiar for Arsenal, they come close but fall short at the final hurdle."
"The Sun": "While Paris is famed for being the City of Love, Arsenal supporters won't be feeling the romance. It's been 19 years since Arsène Wenger's brilliant team was defeated in the final in Barcelona at the Stade de France, and this loss will resonate just as deeply."
Spain
"AS": "Luis Enrique is elated as he prepares to meet Inzaghi in the title bout. Without a shadow of a doubt, two of the Premier League's finest coaches will be facing off. The Arsenal team hangs its head low, unable to secure the title and concluding an outstanding season without a trophy to show for it."
"Mundo Deportivo": "Arsenal faced a stalemate. They missed their opportunities and suffered as a result. PSG seized the opportunity made possible by Gianluigi Donnarumma's heroic efforts in goal."
"Sport": "This Paris Saint-Germain is more than a collection of superstars. They form a team. After an impressive comeback in the tournament, they will square off against Inter Milan in the Champions League final on May 31. They've truly earned it."

"Österreich": "Clear victory. 3-1 - PSG joins Inter in the Champions League final. The dream of the first Champions League title in the club's history lives on! According to PSG, at least. Because for Arsenal, that dream shattered last night with a 1-2 loss in the Parisian Parc des Princes."
Switzerland
"Blick": "Arsenal meets it's end. PSG advances to the Champions League final, a memorable event that's never happened before."
"20 Minuten": "Summer is just around the corner: PSG follows Inter into the Champions League final. A battle for the ages awaits."
Netherlands
"De Telegraaf": "Fourteen years after the Qataris entered the club and five years since their defeat in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain has another chance to extinguish the great obsession that has haunted the club for years. Since the Qatari businessman Nasser Al-Khelaifi opened the financial floodgates for Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani in Paris, one goal has loomed large: winning the Champions League."
"ESPN": "Mbappé didn't do it. Neymar didn't do it. Cavani didn't do it. But perhaps, just perhaps, PSG can now win the Champions League."
