Eliminated from Champions League, Arsenal has a trophyless season

In the early 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 great spirit, putting constant pressure on the home team'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 defence continued to cost them. In the 73rd minute, Achraf Hakimi took advantage of Thomas Partey's lapse in concentration to make it 2-0 for PSG with a tricky cross-angle shot.

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

According to inside sources at Fenerbahce, some members of the club's board of directors have called for the Portuguese coach to be fired.
