Still without a trophy since the 2020 FA Cup, all that is left to play for now for Mikel Arteta’s side is securing a third consecutive second-place finish in the Premier League.
Paris Saint-Germain secured their place in the Champions League final with a 2-1 win over Arsenal in the semifinal second leg, sealing a 3-1 aggregate triumph. Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring with a stunning strike in the 27th minute, while Achraf Hakimi’s second-half goal sealed the victory despite Bukayo Saka’s late consolation. PSG will now face Inter Milan in Munich on May 31, marking their second-ever final appearance after their 2020 defeat to Bayern.
“Ruiz crashed in a shot from the edge of the area to leave PSG firmly in the driving seat,” as the hosts weathered Arsenal’s early pressure.
