A kick in front of the goal, "unbelievable" moment of Arsenal s elimination night

In the early morning of May 8, 2025, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals held at the Park Princes in Paris, Bukayo Saka missed an excellent opportunity at a critical moment. When the 80th minute of the game went on, Arsenal launched a smooth attack on the left. Ricardo Calafiori inserted it and sent a cross.

At this time, Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Donaluma attempted to clear the ball, but failed to successfully block the pass route. The ball came to Bukayo Saka. Faced with an opportunity with almost empty goals, the Arsenal winger shot the ball into the stands only 6 meters away from the goal!

"How could Saka miss such an opportunity?" a fan exclaimed. "This mistake directly ruined Arsenal's hope of advancement." The second fan commented. "Saka may not be able to forget this scene for several months," another fan added.

If Saka seizes this opportunity, Arsenal can tie the score to 2-2 and narrow the overall score gap between the two-legged games to 1 goal. It is worth mentioning that it was the young England international who made an accurate close shot in the 76th minute that once rekindled hope for the Gunners.

In the end, Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Arsenal 3-1 with a total score and reached the Champions League final. This French Capital team is moving towards the first Champions League trophy in team history.

And for Arsenal, this is their sixth time being eliminated in the knockout stage of the European Cup.
