PSG Beats Impressive Arsenal Side 3-1 On Aggregate To Set Up In Final In Munich—-

Paris Saint-Germain are through to the final of the UEFA Champions League after a 2-1 victory over Arsenal in a high-tempo semi-final second leg at the Parc de Princes.

PSG came into the match with a 1-0 lead thanks to their win at the Emirates in the first leg, but it was Arsenal who dominated the early stages of the game, creating a host of chances early on.

Declan Rice could and perhaps should have scored with a close-range header just three minutes into the game, and Gianluigi Donnarumma pulled off two astonishing saves during Arsenal’s early blitz to deny first Martin Odegaard and then Gabriel Martinelli.

And The Gunners were made to pay for not taking those early chances when PSG took the lead on the night, through a stunning finish from Fabian Ruiz on 27 minutes, hammering in a shot from the edge of the box via a deflection.

Both teams created chances in an open game, and David Raya kept Arsenal’s hopes alive when he saved a second-half Vitinha penalty after VAR spotted a handball by Myles Lewis-Skelly.

But the tie looked dead and buried when Achraf Hakimi finished superbly from the edge of the box with a little under 20 minutes left on the clock.

Bukayo Saka set up the prospect of a late fightback when he scored Arsenal’s first of the tie to make it 3-1 on aggregate four minutes later, following great work by substitute Leandro Trossard down the left. But Arsenal could not muster a comeback, with Saka missing a great chance in the 80th minute, as The Gunners’ hopes of a first Champions League crown drifted away in Paris.

The scenes of celebration were dramatic when the final whistle sounded, with PSG sealing their place in the final of the UEFA Champions League where they will face Internazionale on May 31.

Tottenham Defeated Manchester United In Bilbao To Win The 2024/25 UEFA Europa League

Tottenham Defeated Manchester United In Bilbao To Win The 2024/25 UEFA Europa League—-Tottenham beat Manchester United 1-0 to win the Europa League final, lifting its first European trophy in more than four decades to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

It is the first major title for Tottenham since it won the English League Cup in 2008, and its first European triumph since it won its second UEFA Cup — the equivalent of the Europa League now — in 1984.

Brennan Johnson squeezed in the winner at the end of the first half on Wednesday to help Spurs salvage a dismal season, in which it will finish near the bottom of the Premier League standings.

The title guarantees Spurs a spot in next season’s Champions League, and brings some much-needed relief for manager Ange Postecoglou after he struggled to keep his team on track all year.

The victory comes six years after Tottenham fell short against Liverpool in the Champions League final.

The defeat adds pressure on United coach Ruben Amorim, whose team sits in 16th place — just ahead of Tottenham — in the Premier League. The club will not play in any European competition next season.

United came close to equalising the match on Wednesday when a header by Rasmus Hojlund was cleared at the goal line by Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven in the 68th.

Deep into stoppage time, a header by Luke Shaw prompted a difficult save by Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.

It had been an even match, with neither team creating many significant scoring opportunities, until Tottenham got on the board in the 42nd minute after a cross by Pape Sarr into the area.

The ball ricocheted off Shaw and fell in front of Johnson, who seemed to get just enough of it to poke it across the goal line.

United pressed forward after conceding, but was not able to get the equaliser in front of a split crowd of nearly 50,000 at Athletic Bilbao’s San Mames Stadium.

United had last won a trophy in the 2024 FA Cup, and its last European triumph was at the 2017 Europa League under manager Jose Mourinho.

The Red Devils lost all four matches against Tottenham this season and is winless against its rival in seven straight games, with the last six under Postecoglou.

United and Tottenham had met in just one previous final — the 2009 League Cup when Alex Ferguson’s United won 4-1 on penalties after a 0-0 draw.

Tottenham striker Son Heung-min, who came off the bench in the 67th, finally ended his decade-long trophy drought with Spurs.
