Paris Saint-Germain will compete on the 31st in Munich, the Champions League final. The team once again surpassed Arsenal, on Wednesday night (7), at the Princes Park, Paris, and reached the goal that he did not reach when he had in his cast the star Lionel Messi-which was a trio of attack with Mbappé and Neymar.
In the two seasons he had the trio, in 2021/22 and 2022/23, the club controlled by the royal family of Qatar stopped in the round of 16. This time, under the command of Spanish coach Luis Enrique, built a campaign that will take him to the last game. The opponent will be Inter Milan, who eliminated Barcelona in a hallucinating duel on the other side of the key.
To advance to the decision, PSG was more efficient than Arsenal and had great performances by Italian goalkeeper Donnarumma in both matches, full of opportunities for both teams. In London, the French formation won 1-0. In Paris, it took the best again, 2-1.
The vacancy was secured in another good level game at Champions League. Behind the marker of the confrontation, Arsenal started the match by pressing and built three good chances in just eight minutes. Rice headed out. Martinelli and Odegaard stopped in good Donnarumma defenses, especially the second, very difficult.
The English team sought to tighten the opponent’s departure and created many difficulties. Aggressiveness, however, was priceless, the open spaces for the rapid plays of Paris Saint-Germain, which also began to create opportunities. Kvaratskhelia hit the post, and Doué kicked down, before the ball finally entered, minutes later.
At 27, missing Rice, who tried to fix a mistake with the ball, Vitinha made the cross. After Party’s partial cut, the left was Fabián Ruiz, in a situation more or less like Odegaard’s kick defended by Donnarumma. But David Raya is not Donnarumma, and the score was opened.
The final stage began a little more warm, but Arsenal’s urgency to seek the result again made the match busy. Donnarumma again made an excellent defense and sought a shot from Saka. On the other side, after a penalty pointed out with the help of the video, Vitinha made a stop and stopped in Raya.
Hakimi then did not waste. The ball fell on his foot at the entrance of the area, and he put it in Raya’s left corner after 27 minutes. The London team did not give up. In a move with failure of Brazilian Marquinhos, Saka got the left over and finally managed to swing Donnarumma’s network, at 31.
The same Saka had the ball in the feet that could have set fire to the game at 35, but after the left cross, without goalkeeper, ended up over. Minutes later, with the use of flags, PSG fans celebrated the possibility of supporting their team in a Champions League final for the first time.
The team has been in the tournament decision in the 2019/20 season, but due to restrictions on the Covid-19 pandemic, the match was played without public at Estádio da Luz, in Lisbon. At the time, still without Messi, strikers Neymar and Mbappé could not overcome the defense of Bayern, who triumphed 1-0.
