PSG Secures Champions League Final Spot, Defeats Arsenal 3-1 Aggregate

Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the Champions League final after a 3-1 aggregate victory over Arsenal, with standout performances from Achraf Hakimi and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insisted his team were the 'better side' over both legs, attributing PSG's progress largely to Donnarumma's crucial saves, a view echoed by Manchester City's Erling Haaland. However, PSG manager Luis Enrique and former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger both disagreed, arguing PSG were superior across the two legs, highlighting their greater effectiveness, mental strength, and ability to capitalize on counter-attacks. The decisive moments included Fabian Ruiz and Hakimi scoring for PSG in the second leg, with Bukayo Saka netting a consolation for Arsenal. While Arteta praised his players' efforts and lamented missed opportunities, both Enrique and PSG players maintained that PSG deserved their place in the final by scoring more goals and withstanding Arsenal's pressure. The match was marked by contrasting perspectives on performance, but consensus on Donnarumma's pivotal role in PSG's triumph.
