The Gunners were eliminated in the Champions League! The 18-year-old boy became a short boarder and was replaced after only 68 minutes of playing

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal lost 1-2 to Paris Saint-Germain away, losing 1-3 to his opponent, and missed the Champions League final. In this game, Arsenal hoped to reverse the score disadvantage of 0-1 in the first leg, but they failed to make the most of the start at Princes Park Stadium. Fabian Ruiz took the lead for Paris Saint-Germain in the 27th minute, and Ashraf expanded the score to 2-0 in the 72nd minute. Although Saka returned in the 76th minute, Arsenal failed to take this opportunity to turn the situation around. After the game, Arsenal fans were sighing that if Donaluma had not performed well, the team would have had the chance to reverse the game away. But they forgot that their goalkeeper Raya also cheated in the game. In this game, Arsenal was awarded a penalty kick. Ashraf's shot caused 18-year-old Skelly to handball in the penalty area. The referee awarded Paris a penalty kick under VAR's reminder. But David Raya saved Vitina's penalty. Compared with David Raya's outstanding performance, Skelly, who was in front of him, contributed a disastrous performance in the Champions League semi-finals. The 18-year-old had an excellent breakout season at Arsenal but had a tough night at Paris Saint-Germain. In the first half alone, Skeley made six passes, causing Paris to repeatedly make sharp counterattacks. He was also given a yellow card because of his entanglement with Balkora. In the 68th minute of the second half, Arsenal became the first substitution on the field. The 18-year-old Skeley was replaced, and the one who appeared was Calafiori. Compared to Skelli's lack of discipline, Calafiori performed very positively after playing, trying to move forward at every possible opportunity. The Italian created a great opportunity to get Saka equalized the score tonight, but the latter's shot missed. After the game, many Arsenal fans believed that Arteta should replace Skeley earlier because Calafiori performed significantly better than him. “We’ve been much better since Calafiori and Trosad came on the field,” one fan said. “Calfiori could have started,” another supporter suggested, highlighting the need for a more experienced player at the left-back position.

This season, 18-year-old Skelly emerged in Arsenal, firmly took the position of the main left-back, and was selected for the England national team. Perhaps because of his youth, Skelly is very confident in playing football on the court. In this semi-final, Skelly was confident in taking the ball on the court to make moves, but he made many low-level mistakes, which made Arsenal unable to continue to put pressure on his opponents. For the young Skelly, this Champions League semi-final taught him a lesson. I hope this young player can be cautious of arrogance and impetuousness, continue to temper himself, and strive to win the championship with the team as soon as possible.

For Arsenal, the Champions League is a foregone conclusion, and they are now focusing on the Premier League on the weekend, and they are competing for the Champions League qualification for next season. Their next round will face new champion Liverpool on Sunday, May 11, 2025. After that, they will play Newcastle United at home on Saturday, May 18, and the season will end against Southampton away on Saturday, May 25.
