"Mikel Arteta's gameplan looked to be working perfectly before Ousmane Dembele levelled the score in the 65th minute, and after that it seemed like the trophy was only going to be heading back to Paris. Arsenal had no answer for the relentless passing of PSG and had to retreat deep into their own half as the conditions and effort took its toll on the players. Gabriel being the player to miss the decisive penalty felt particularly harsh given he had produced a colossal performance alongside centre-back partner William Saliba to keep the Gunners in the final.
