Arsene Wenger gives his verdict on Arsenal's bitter Champions League exit to PSG - and pinpoints key area where the tie was lost for the Gunners

Arsene Wenger has given his verdict on Arsenal's heartbreaking Champions League exit against Paris Saint-Germain, after his former team crashed out at the semi-final stage following a 3-1 defeat on aggregate.

Arsenal headed into Wednesday's second leg at the Parc de Princes with a 1-0 deficit to overturn and were left to rue a catalogue of missed chances early on when Fabian Ruiz scored against the run of play to put the French giants two goals ahead in the tie.

Despite mounting significant pressure on PSG's goal, which was superbly guarded again by in-form goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Gunners found themselves further behind in the 72nd minute, with Achraf Hakimi's curling effort from outside the penalty area putting the French side within touching distance of the final in Munich.
