That was a really bad half from the Arsenal. Very lucky to be ahead. Man, I hope the second 45 minutes don’t look like that opening half.

What was Hendrich thinking there? Jesus, she lost her head with the hair tug. And her mark had no chance at the ball!

I know Blackstenius and Mead will get their justly reserved plaudits for the goal, but Leah Williamson was absolutely massive. Best player on the field today. Big-time performance in the biggest match.

To have gone from where this side was when Jonas Eidevall was shown the door to Champions of Europe is nothing short of incredible.

Blackstenius! Such a big impact since coming in. Let’s go!

Well, this is going to be embarrassing. I’m starting to wonder whether this team qualifies for the Champions League again, let alone finishes second.

I know everybody’s been screaming it since the summer, but if Arsenal had a striker, this would have gone so, so differently. Have had the chances but couldn’t convert ‘em.

That’s the match, the tie and the Champions League run.

Thankfully, Raya saved that penalty. Still a (very slim) chance.

Whelp, this seems familiar. Don’t see Arsenal coming back now.

I’m never going to get over CBS cutting over to say they haven’t picked the new pope right as the match was going to kick off. Sure, I only missed two minutes of the match, but Jesus Christ.

Donnarumma’s going to have a match, isn’t he? Ugh.

Not great, but still plenty to play for Paris. Hope Arsenal learned a lot from this one to take into the second leg.

Ugh. Offside. That SUCKS.

Arsenal lacks the confidence it had against Real. PSG is miles better to start this match, it pains me to say.

Ugh … and here I was, thinking I could take a breathe. So uncharacteristic by Saliba after Saka’s goal.

Offside? Well, I’ll take it. But that should be a warning for the Arsenal. Play smart, don’t give the ref a chance to make a decision.

Oh Saka. I really hope that doesn’t come back to bite us.

Things that happened twice in the second half:
-Declan Rice scoring one of the best free kicks you'll ever see
-Real Madrid attempting a shot
