Arsenal’s Champions League aspirations will depend on the second leg because the first one didn’t go according to plan. Ousmane Dembélé scored very early ,in the fourth minute, following an impressive 26-pass sequence by PSG. Dembélé initiated the move by advancing into Arsenal’s half and passing to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Kvaratskhelia then cut the ball back to Dembélé, who executed a first-time shot that struck the inside of the post. PSG’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at the other end of the field prevented all the notable attempts that Arsenal made during the remaining 86 minutes to overturn the deficit.
The next leg will have to be played at the next level if the Champion’s League dream is to come true.
