Paris Saint-Germain had to defend a lot, but they were very flexible. They won against a good Arsenal team 2-1 to get to the Champions League final. Now they can try to win the title they want very much.
PSG didn't have the ball as much as usual at first. They looked a bit unsure, but they found a way to win. They used fast attacks and their goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, helped them. They won the game 3-1 in total.
PSG reached the final of the best European football competition for only the second time. They finished second five years ago. This happened in the first year after the famous player Kylian Mbappé left to join Real Madrid.
They didn't replace Mbappé with another famous player.
The coach was able to create a strong team that played excellent football.
From the first day, I said our goal was to work hard to try to make history. That is still our goal," Enrique said. "We want to be the first to win the trophy everyone wants. This project has changed since last year, and I feel good as a coach here. The president lets me build the team we want, changing things to make the team better every day.
The French team wants to win the Champions League for the first time. They will play against Inter Milan on May 31 in Munich.
The president of PSG stated, 'We have faith in our coach and our players. Our young players are talented and eager to succeed. They compete intensely for the team, the city, and the club.'
There's still one match remaining. We haven't completed the competition yet.
Inter, who have won in Europe three times, beat Barcelona 7-6 over two games in a very exciting semifinal match.
Last year, PSG lost to Borussia Dortmund. In 2020, Bayern Munich beat them in the final. This year, PSG won against Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Arsenal.
PSG scored the first goal after 27 minutes. The ball went to Fabian Ruiz, and he shot it into the goal.
Achraf Hakimi scored a nice goal in the 72nd minute, making the score 2-0. Then, Bukayo Saka scored one goal for the other team, the Gunners.
Last week in London, Arsenal had problems at the start. They could not deal with how strong PSG were in the middle of the field, and they lost 1-0.
This time, with Thomas Partey back, Arsenal attacked 61 times. PSG attacked 26 times.
The team visiting quickly showed they were strong and had chances to score. Declan Rice jumped high to head the ball, but he missed. Gabriel Martinelli shot, but Donnarumma stopped it.
Arsenal played well on the sides against PSG. In the eighth minute, Martin Ødegaard shot the ball from outside the box, and the goalkeeper Donnarumma stopped it well.
PSG had to wait for chances to attack quickly, but they did not get many.
The first real opportunity came in the 17th minute. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia found some space on the left wing, cut inside onto his right foot, and fired a shot that unfortunately struck the post.
Then, PSG did not use William Saliba's bad pass well. But Désiré Doué shot the ball weakly, and it went straight to Raya.
Soon after 60 minutes, Arsenal had another good chance. Saka shot the ball, and it was going into the top corner, but Donnarumma jumped high and stopped it.
Then Vitinha missed a penalty kick. The referee checked the video and said a player touched the ball with his hand. But soon after, PSG scored again. Hakimi kicked the ball into the goal after Ousmane Dembélé passed it to him.
Arsenal kept trying to score until the end. Saka scored a goal in the 76th minute, and this made the score closer.
