Rock solid PSG weathers Gunners' barrage

PSG will face Inter Milan on May 31 in Munich to vie for that elusive European title.

"We believe in our coach, and we believe in our players — in our talented, young, hungry players," PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi told CBS Sports.

"It's a great feeling, we've done a great job to get to the final, but it's not over yet, we want more, we want to win this title," PSG's Brazilian skipper Marquinhos told French broadcaster Canal Plus, echoing Al-Khelaifi's sentiments.

PSG broke the deadlock in the 27th minute from a set piece after the Arsenal defense cleared a freekick toward the edge of the area. The ball bounced back into the path of Fabian Ruiz, who smashed a stunning half-volley into the back of the net.

At 72 minutes, Achraf Hakimi curled in a precise finish to make it 2-0 on the night, before Bukayo Saka pulled one back for the visitor.

Arsenal had struggled early on last week in London — unable to cope with PSG's intensity in midfield — and lost 1-0.

This time, boosted by the return of midfielder Thomas Partey, the Gunners mustered 61 attacks, compared to PSG's 26.

The visitor's dominance was quickly rewarded when Declan Rice rose high, but missed his header, and Gabriel Martinelli saw his effort saved by Donnarumma.
