Paris Saint-Germain delivered a commanding performance to secure a 2-1 win over Arsenal in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal, sealing a 3-1 aggregate triumph and booking a place in the final against Inter Milan. With standout showings from Gianluigi Donnarumma, Fabian Ruiz, and Achraf Hakimi, PSG’s mix of discipline and clinical execution proved too much for a spirited Arsenal side. Here's how the players rated at the Parc des Princes.

PSG Player Ratings

Gianluigi Donnarumma – 9/10
A game-winning display from the Italian shot-stopper. Donnarumma made key saves to deny Arsenal's early dominance, particularly efforts from Ødegaard and Martinelli. His calm under pressure allowed PSG to maintain their shape and composure in critical moments.

Achraf Hakimi – 8/10
Started slowly but grew into the game. His marauding run and finish in the second half sealed the win for PSG and highlighted his attacking threat. Delivered one of his most important Champions League performances.

Fabián Ruiz – 8.5/10
The engine of PSG’s midfield. Ruiz opened the scoring with a rocket from distance and dictated the tempo throughout. His positioning and decision-making helped PSG control the match after Arsenal’s strong start.

João Neves – 7.4/10
Consistent and composed in midfield. Neves connected defense and attack with clean distribution and good positional sense, often disrupting Arsenal’s transitions.

Willian Pacho – 7.3/10
A quiet but crucial contributor in defense. Pacho was steady throughout, limiting Arsenal’s attempts to exploit wide areas and showing composure under pressure.

Arsenal Player Ratings

David Raya – 8.5/10
Despite the loss, Raya emerged with credit. His penalty save from Vitinha and multiple stops kept Arsenal alive in the tie. His distribution was also solid under PSG’s press.

Bukayo Saka – 7.8/10
Arsenal’s liveliest attacker. Scored their only goal and constantly tested the PSG backline, but missed a critical late chance that might have changed the momentum.

William Saliba – 7.5/10
Showed maturity and intelligence in defense. Saliba stayed composed against PSG’s front line and contributed to Arsenal’s buildup play with confidence.

Declan Rice – 7.5/10
A midfield leader. Rice worked tirelessly, broke up plays, and nearly scored early on. His influence waned slightly as PSG gained control, but his fight never faded.

Myles Lewis-Skelly – 6.5/10
The youngest player on the pitch had a mixed night. Showed potential but gave away the penalty that led to PSG’s second goal. A valuable learning experience in a high-stakes match.

PSG’s balanced approach, combining individual brilliance with tactical cohesion, proved decisive on the night. Arsenal’s youthful squad left everything on the pitch, but experience and efficiency ultimately sent PSG through to Munich. With Inter Milan waiting in the final, the Parisians are now one win away from capturing the Champions League title that has long eluded them.
