Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Parc des Princes!
- 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 10' Jakub Kiwior has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 228 appearances.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Paris Saint-Germain FC and Arsenal FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 18' Nuno Mendes is having his name booked by the referee on 18.
- 23' It looks surprising Arsenal FC does not make any changes. Myles Lewis-Skelly has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 26' That is a card for Arsenal FC. Declan Rice will be fuming at that decision.
- 27' What a strike from Fabian Ruiz! The score is 1-0.
- 32' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 37' A quiet spell here at Parc des Princes. Paris Saint-Germain FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 42' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Luis Enrique will be considering his options from the bench.
- 47' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for William Pacho suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' The energy levels are beginning to show. Luis Enrique might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 56' It’s gonna be a card for Myles Lewis-Skelly.
- 61' Arsenal FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 66' Bukayo Saka has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 8 goals to his name this season.
- 68' Arsenal FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Riccardo Calafiori is hanging Myles Lewis-Skelly on the field on 68 minute.
- 69' Leandro Trossard gets the nod from Arsenal FC. He replaces Martinelli and will look to change the dynamic.
- 70' It is a substitution in Paris Saint-Germain FC team. Bradley Barcola is replaced by Ousmane Dembele on 70 minute.
- 72' Goal! Achraf Hakimi scores his 50 goal in 535 matches.
- 74' A change in the Paris Saint-Germain FC ranks — Desire Doue exits the field as Lucas Hernandez enters on 74.
- 76' Goal! Bukayo Saka scores his 100 goal in 427 matches.
- 81' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 83' Arsenal FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ben White is hanging Jurrien Timber on the field on 83 minute.
- 86' A meaty challenge results in booking for Riccardo Calafiori on 86.
- 88' Goncalo Ramos has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nuno Mendes on 88 minute.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
