In this match, 'Arsenal', for which Ukrainian defender Oleksandr Zinchenko plays, lost to 'PSG' with a score of 0:1.

After conceding an early goal, 'Arsenal' tried to seize the initiative, and in the second half, Mikel Merino even scored a goal, which was later canceled due to offside after a VAR review.

'PSG' goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma saved his team several times, including after shots from Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli.

The return match will take place on May 7 at the 'Parc des Princes' in Paris. 'Arsenal' needs to win to advance to the final, which will be held on May 31 at the 'Allianz Arena' in Munich.
