Eliminated from Champions League, Arsenal has a trophyless season

On the morning of May 8, Arsenal lost 1-2 away to PSG, thereby stopping in the Champions League semi-finals.

Coming into the game with the advantage of a 1-0 first-leg win, PSG faced an Arsenal side determined to turn things around. Mikel Arteta's side started with aplomb, putting constant pressure on the home side's defence. Declan Rice, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard all had dangerous chances, but goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma showed his class with a series of impressive saves.

After a period of pressure, PSG began to regain control of the game and prove their class. In the 27th minute, Fabian Ruiz broke the deadlock with an impressive shot after a combination from a corner kick, forcing David Raya to pick the ball out of the net.

It seemed like the match would soon be decided when PSG was awarded a penalty for Myles Lewis-Skelly's handball in the 69th minute, but Raya made an excellent save from Vitinha's shot, keeping the visitors' hopes alive.

However, Arsenal's sloppy defense continued to cost them. In the 73rd minute, Achraf Hakimi took advantage of Thomas Partey's lapse of concentration to make it 2-0 for PSG with a tricky diagonal shot.

In the 76th minute, Leandro Trossard assisted Bukayo Saka to narrow the gap to 1-2 and bring hope, but just 3 minutes later, Saka himself closed the door to the Premier League representative's progression, with a shot into the sky in front of an empty goal.

According to Hurriyet sources, Fenerbahce President Ali Koc was disappointed after meeting with Mourinho earlier this week. Fenerbahce's board hopes to reach an agreement to terminate the contract early with the "Special One" to reduce compensation costs.

However, the Portuguese strategist confirmed that he wants to receive the full 15 million Euros in compensation in the contract, if Fenerbahce fires him after this season.

His contract with the Turkish club has more than a year left. According to estimates from AS, Fenerbahce could have to pay a total of 30 million Euros in compensation to Mourinho and his assistants if they are fired after this season.

According to inside sources at Fenerbahce, some members of the club's board of directors have asked for the Portuguese coach to be fired. They argue that in addition to the club's poor performance on the field, Mourinho's actions since the beginning of the season have damaged the team's reputation.

Mourinho has been the center of controversy in Türkiye throughout this season, due to unsportsmanlike behavior such as pinching Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk's nose, and making many disparaging and demeaning statements about the tournament./.
