WHAT A DYNAMIC MATCH THIS WAS LAST NIGHT! ARSENAL MADE 365 PASSES WITH A 79% PASS ACCURACY (AND HAD 55% POSSESSION), WITH 19 SHOTS AND 4 ON TARGET, INCLUDING NOTEABLE CRACKERS FROM DECLAN RICE, (WHICH JUST WENT WIDE OF THE POST), AND ALSO MARTINELLI, ODEGAARD, AND SAKA’S GREAT ATTEMPTS ON GOAL – BUT UNFORTUNATELY, NOT MUCH WAS GETTING PAST PSG’S 6ft 5″ DONNARUMMA UNTIL BUKAYO SAKA’S 76TH MINUTE BEAUT! PSG MADE 320 PASSES, WITH A 76% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 11 SHOTS, WITH 6 ON TARGET, BUT WITH DAVID RAYA READY-AND-A-WAITING, SAVING 4 OF THOSE, (INCLUDING A PENALTY FROM VITINHA), THE PSG ‘MOMENTUM’ WAS HELD-AT-BAY! 2 STRONG PSG STRIKES DID HIT THE BACK-OF-THE-NET THOUGH, WITH 1 FROM FABIAN RUIZ AT 27 MINS., AND ANOTHER FROM ACHRAF HAKIMI AT 72 MINS! SO THIS HIGH OCTANE MATCH ENDED IN A 2 – 1 WIN TO PSG, (3 – 1 ON AGGREGATE) AND THEIR PROGRESSION TO THE FINAL WHERE THEY WILL PLAY INTER MILAN!
