Arsenal’s wait for Champions League glory goes on as they suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the semi-finals to Paris Saint-Germain.
The defeat also means it’s now five seasons without a major trophy for the Gunners.
PSG once again proved their the cream of the crop in Europe this seasonGetty And Arsenal fall short once againGettyIt’s a second Champions League final for Paris Saint-Germain, and Ousmane Dembele has taken them there in one of football’s most unexpected redemption stories.
PSG won 2-1 on the night in front of their own fans with Fabian Ruiz’s first half rocket and Achraf Hakimi’s clincher making a Bukayo Saka effort nothing more than a consolation in a 3-1 aggregate defeat for Arsenal.
Paris stunned the Gunners in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium with Dembele’s strike in the fourth minute followed by another comprehensive showing against English opposition.
