PARIS ST GERMAIN MARCH INTO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL – Their measured 2-1 second-leg victory earned them a 2nd shot at Europe’s top title
Paris St Germain head coach Luis Enrique praised the passion and intensity of his team as they weathered an early Arsenal storm to march into the Champions League final.
Their measured 2-1 second-leg victory in Paris earned them a second shot at Europe’s top title.
Goals by Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi sealed a 3-1 aggregate semi-final triumph while a string of vital saves from keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma helped keep Arsenal at bay.
Five years after losing to Bayern Munich in the final, PSG have been transformed into a cohesive team unit under Luis Enrique, and they will take on Inter Milan on May 31 in Munich after the Serie A side eliminated Barcelona 7-6 in a vintage tie in the other semi-final.
Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta told the post match press conference that PSG’s victory hung on Donnarumma saying Arsenal were the better side but Luis Enrique brushed off his comments.
“I think in the two legs we scored more goals than them, and in football, it’s the most important thing,” he said.
