Donnarumma Leads PSG to Champions League Final with 2-1 Victory Over Arsenal

Gianluigi Donnarumma delivered a standout performance as Paris Saint-Germain defeated Arsenal 2-1 in the Champions League semi-final second leg, securing a 3-2 aggregate victory and a place in the final against Inter Milan. Donnarumma's early and repeated saves, including crucial stops on Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard, kept PSG in the match despite Arsenal dominating possession and chances. Although PSG were outplayed in many statistical categories, Donnarumma's heroics were widely credited by both opponents and commentators as the decisive factor. After withstanding Arsenal's pressure, PSG capitalized on their opportunities, with goals from Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi, while Donnarumma continued to deny the Gunners' attempts to equalize. This victory marks PSG's second appearance in the Champions League final, highlighting a new era centered on young talent rather than star power. Donnarumma's commanding presence and penalty-saving prowess have established him as a linchpin for PSG in high-stakes European matches.
