Arsenal’s Champions League run reached its disappointing (but predictable) end in the semifinals on Wednesday as the Gunners were beaten 2-1 by PSG on the night and 3-1 over two legs.
PSG 2-1 (3-1 agg) ARSENAL -Highlights, recap & analysis
What was the prevailing narrative back in January? Arsenal desperately need a striker. It was true at the start of the transfer window, and it was true at the end — after they elected not to sign a single player. It was always going to end this way, with Mikel Arteta’s side unable to put the ball in the back of the net. The chances were there in both the first and second legs, but poor finishing and Gianluigi Donnarumma standing on his head for the third straight round against Premier League opposition was an impossible combination to survive.
