Ousmane Dembele scored early to give Paris St-Germain a win over Arsenal. His goal came just four minutes into the semi-final first leg at Emirates Stadium.
Dembele finished low from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's assist, stunning the home crowd. PSG dominated the early game, forcing Arsenal keeper David Raya to make a great save from teenager Desire Doue.
Arsenal managed to recover and create chances. Gianluigi Donnarumma, PSG's goalkeeper, was crucial again. He made excellent saves from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
Arsenal had a goal ruled out for offside when Mikel Merino headed in from a Declan Rice free-kick. Late in the match, PSG could have extended their lead but substitute Bradley Barcola shot wide. Goncalo Ramos also hit the bar.
Mikel Arteta believes his team can turn this tie around. They previously beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. However, facing PSG is a different challenge altogether for Arsenal as they aim for the final in Munich.
