Paris Saint-Germain will meet Inter Milan in the Champions League final for the second time in its history after beating Arsenal 2-1 in the second leg, a week after losing 1-0 in London.
Trailing 1-0 from last week’s first leg, Arsenal pushed forward at the start of the first half, with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma making several saves.
However, in the 27th minute, Ruiz opened the scoring for PSG with a stunning left-footed shot that beat David Raya.
Raya saved Vitinha’s 69th-minute penalty, but Hakimi made it 2-0 soon after.
Bukayo Saka pulled a goal back for Arsenal in the 76th minute, but the visitors were denied a place in the final.EFE mcd
