Arsenal have been knocked out of the Champions League after a 2-1 semi-final second-leg defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Gunners had entered the match trailing 1-0 from the first leg and pushed hard for a comeback.
Despite a strong start and several early saves from PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring for the hosts against the run of play.
Arsenal’s hopes dimmed further after Achraf Hakimi added a second in the 73rd minute following a defensive error.
Bukayo Saka briefly reignited hopes with a quick reply, but later missed a golden chance to equalize. Mikel Arteta praised his players’ effort and highlighted Donnarumma’s performance as decisive.
PSG now advance to the final in Munich on May 31, where they will face Inter Milan.
