The meeting at the Emirates Stadium will certainly be a highlight for many as Arsenal have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2009. They are determined to repeat their achievement of reaching the final after nearly 2 decades (2006).
But in the 4th minute, Arsenal received a cold shower. Starting from PSG's quick attack, Dembele passed the ball to Kvaratskhelia to break through and then pass it back. Dembele received the ball and finished with one touch into the net.
Arsenal tried to recover but before thinking about scoring, what they needed to do was improve the game, which this team could not do. The Gunners' coordination from midfield was very erratic, making it difficult for them to cause problems for PSG.

Arsenal's best chance perhaps came in the 40th minute. After Saka's curling shot was caught by Donnarumma, it was Martinelli's turn to shoot but the ball missed the post by a hair.
PSG maintained their lead until the end of the break. In the second half, the same scenario repeated itself for Arsenal. They were unlucky and unlucky. In the 47th minute, Merino headed the ball into the net. VAR immediately intervened to determine that the home players were offside.
9 minutes later, Arsenal had a clear chance. However, Donnarumma with his long arms made an excellent save for PSG.
The rest of the game saw Arsenal press hard for an equaliser but they still struggled against PSG. The French side impressed with their calm, controlled play and they enjoyed the rewards with a 1-0 victory. This result gave PSG a huge advantage ahead of the second leg of the semi-final at home a week later.
