Missed chances were the theme of Arsenal’s Champions League semi-final exit to Paris St-Germain, but Wednesday’s second leg in Paris also featured a small number of technical errors that proved costly.
The general level of Arsenal’s performance was impressive as they made PSG suffer and defend their penalty area more than at any stage of the French club’s run to the final.
However, Arsenal’s passing rhythm and waves of attack were occasionally punctured by unnecessary giveaways and a tendency to run the ball into trouble.
In the first leg at the Emirates, Arsenal’s two best chances for Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard were created by driving midfield runs from Myles Lewis-Skelly and Declan Rice.
