Paris - Luis Enrique's side faced the Champions League final on May 31 with a 3-1 overall victory against Arsenal on Wednesday in the semi-finals of Parc des Princes, facing the Champions League final in the UEFA Champions League final on May 31.
PSG released PSG in the final in Munich after Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya saved Vitinha’s fine after Bukayo Saka’s 76th minute goal. But Saka then blew up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, shooting from six yards at 2-2 at night, two quarters after his pity.
PSG has goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma thanked them for making two crucial saves against Gabriel Martinelli and Martinødegaard in the opening 10 minutes.
But after winning the first leg 1-0 in the UAE match last week, PSG is enough to face Reims’ Ligue 1 Championship Tour in the France De France final on May 24 and can now win triple by winning the first Champions League later this month. - - Mark Ogden
PSG competed in the Champions League finals and their achievements should not be related to Kylian Mbappé - but were positive.
Just 12 months ago, the French superstar was about to end his six-year stay at PSG to move to Real Madrid and increase his chances of realizing his Champions League dream. Mbappé is the last one of PSG”Milky Way“The Prince was withdrawn after Lionel Messi and Neymar failed to give Champions League glory to the club.
But while Mbappé's exports were intended to show the end of hope of PSG conquering Europe, in fact, it triggered a new policy to build a team of young stars under the guidance of Luis Enrique as an expert in coaching.
Without Mbappé, PSG had a hard time starting in the Champions League phase and seemed destined to be exported early, but Luis Enrique's team inserted gears midway through the season, Ousmane Dembélé inspired the side and youngsters Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola, Bradley Barcola also showed the importance of Khvichakaparatskaratskhel, which proved their importance.
In the midfield, Vitinha, João Neves and Ruiz are perhaps Europe's best midfield units, defenders Hakimi and Nuno Mendes have become unparalleled and unstoppable in defense.
At the back, goalkeeper Donnarumma resumed a world-class title, while Captain Marquinhos dominated the centre-back.
So while Mbappé is arguably still the best striker in the world, PSG hasn't missed him. They would have been better without the 26-year-old, whose departure helped PSG win the Champions League within 90 minutes. - - Ogden
Arsenal’s progress in Mikel Arteta’s five and a half years is undeniable, but so is the existence of a brick wall that they cannot collapse: Win the silver.
The failure in Paris condemned the Gunners to participate in another trophy-free season, the last major honor they received in the 2020 FA Cup final, when Arteta started in just a few months.
This should have been a year. Manchester City suddenly got out of the car and Jurgen Klopp's departure at Liverpool enhanced the feeling, but the Gunners were unable to push the Reds in a one-sided title fight and fell again in Europe, with their only Champions League final coming in 2006.
They made their first semi-finals in this game since 2009, and the achievement was like going in the right direction - but when the prize was won, they appeared again.
Arteta will point to the injured absentee, misfortune and the advantage against it in this tie, but ultimately, Arsenal’s pattern cannot break. The last step is usually the hardest, so it continues to prove. - - James Ollie
The youngest team in the Champions League this season has reached the finals. They once said that you can’t win anything with your kids.
PSG has not won any victory yet and they will face the oldest team in the international competition. Experience is certainly the key to the Munich final, and the Italians will have an advantage, but that's the case with 16 rounds against Liverpool, with Paris winning the penalty shootout at Anfield as they did before.
Seeing these young Parisians - the team with an average age of 24.7 against Arsenal on Wednesday - is a special team led by Luis Enrique this season.
The manager likes to work with young players because they are stretchy, disciplined, energetic and intense, which is perfectly in line with his philosophy and style.
They are not perfect, but they learn quickly. soon. Doué, Neves, Barcola, Vitinha, Mendes, Kvaratskhelia and William Pacho are all 25 or under, and they have won only one victory in the first four league games, and they have won the Champions League in the campaign.
Not long ago, we thought they might not even make the playoffs. By running than anyone else in the competition and becoming the team that recovers the highest pressure and stress, they show that youth can further improve talent. - Julien Laurens
Saka's 76th minute goal was Arsenal's first game in the last seven semi-finals, including two Calaba Cup semi-finals and the first leg of the Europa League 2021 with Villarreal.
Saka now has 10 goals in 18 Champions League games - Harry Kane (12) is the only Briton to reach this milestone in fewer games - but even he can't hide the issue that has been staring at Arsenal for some time.
They need more offense. Arsenal chose not to sign the striker last summer and January. Just a central forward is not the answer - Martín Zubimendi will arrive from Real Sociedad while they are still looking for another winger - Arsenal needs to show as brave as the player in the transfer market as the player is in a defeat.
The drought in the semifinals included two matches against Newcastle United this season, when Alexander Isak (who could surpass the target within reach given Newcastle's unwillingness to let him go, both scoring in both, showing Arsenal what they were missing.
Demarting Europe with beautiful edges is another painful reminder of a lesson they must pay attention to now. Declan Rice talked about Arsenal’s need for “magic moments” to win such a connection.
Need more magic. - Orly

Moreno: Arsenal plays like Tony Pulis' Stoke vs.PSG
Alejandro Moreno lashed out at his dependence on fixed players after the Champions League exit.
Kvaratskhelia was happy to watch, part of it was the feeling that he had been shipped from another era.
His ankles, the Bohemian manner and passion for unpredictability and creativity, ideally, the passion on his feet. Some critics say the game is too robotic and structured. Kvaratskhelia proves that even in the best collectives, you can have Virtuoso soloists like Luis Enrique's PSG.
He once achieved an unimaginable thing, guiding Naples without Diego Maradona Kvaradona in the process).
Now, he is wielding PSG's first Champions League title. It's not bad for someone waiting for the phone in the first six months of the 2024-25 season, waiting for the phone to ring and wondering if anyone would be on par with Naples' huge transfer valuation.
Given that he has the freedom to master Naples, he doesn't seem to fit in with Luis Enrique's new "collectivist" PSG. But he entered the spirit of the prince and the team at an astonishing speed.
Moreover, in the process, he proved that more than a few people were wrong. his Kvaradona A few days behind him. He is likely to be Kyliantskhelia. - Gabrielle Marcotti
