44: Arsenal are struggling to keep hold of the ball in midfield. Oxlade-Chamberlain does brilliantly to win it back but immediately losses the ball under pressure from PSG’s midfield.
42: CHANCE! Cavani beats the off-side trap and is in acres of space after Di Maria’s pass picks him out. The Uruguay striker takes a touch with his chest but the ball gets away from him as the chance goes begging. At the other end, Ozil looks to pick out the run of Sanchez, but PSG head clear.
41: Aurier has been a real handful. This time he looks to pick out the run of Matuidi but the pass is just too strong.

37: Mustafi is forced into heading Verratti’s lifted pass behind for a corner…
34: MISS! Verratti looks to slip the ball through for Cavani. Monreal cuts the pass out but the ball rebounds back into the path of Cavani, who goeas around Ospina but with an open goal at his mercy, the PSG striker slices his shot wide.
It’s been a tough night for Koscielny and the Arsenal defence so far!
33: Maxwell gets forward down the PSG left but he’s well tracked by Bellerin, who blocks the cross.
30: Alexis Sanchez finally gets an opportunity to run at the PSG defence but opts for an aimless cross into the middle which is cleared up by Marquinhos.
28: Aurier, who has been causing Arsenal problems all night, whips in another cross from the right but this time Mustafi gets across and clears.
25: CORNER! Ozil whips the ball in but Areola comes off his line to punch clear.
