Arsenal’s Champions League journey was cut short in Paris on Wednesday night as PSG secured a 3-1 aggregate victory over Mikel Arteta’s team at the Parc des Princes.

Arriving in the French capital trailing 1-0 after last week’s leg at the Emirates, the Gunners started strong with several early opportunities but were made to pay for their missed chances when Fabian Ruiz scored for the hosts in the 27th minute, against the flow of the game.

Although Arsenal continued to challenge Gianluigi Donnarumma in PSG’s goal, they fell further behind after Achraf Hakimi produced a remarkable finish in the 72nd minute, positioning the Parisians closer to Munich.

Mail Sport’s ISAAN KHAN was at the Parc de Princes to rate both sets of players on the night.
